Steelers Film Room: Todd Haley’s Hank Concept

One of the staples of Todd Haley’s offense is his Hank Concept. We’ve covered it before, for the Pittsburgh Steelers and opposing offenses, and it was one Haley leaned on heavily Sunday.

A refresher of the concept. It’s a curl/flat combination on the perimeter with the tight end running a five yard curl, the “Hank” route where the name comes from. When Haley served as the passing game coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys in 2006, he called it 82 Hank. From their playbook.

The Steelers used it on their first drive, the most productive of the day.
