Randy Fichtner: ‘We Would Love To Be More Balanced’, But ‘We Can’t Be Afraid To Throw It’

Let’s talk running game, shall we? I know that it’s on a lot of people’s minds whenever the approach of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense in 2019 is brought up. Pittsburgh had one of the most extremely imbalanced run-pass ratios in 2018 if you focus on pure runs versus all throws. Seemingly everybody wants to change that.

Even offensive coordinator Randy Ficthner told Tim Benz on his Breakfast With Benz podcast that “we would love to be more balanced, no doubt”. “A lot of times you work to get your playmakers the ball”, he added.
