Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph didn’t take many deep shots down the field in last Sunday road loss to the San Francisco 49ers and especially in the first half. Rudolph’s passing chart from his first career start last Sunday shows that he only completed two passes more than a yard past the original line of scrimmage. Many have wondered since Sunday’s loss if Steelers offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner was way too conservative with Rudolph in his first NFL start, and especially early in the game, and on Friday he was asked during his media session if that was indeed the case and plan.
