The famous Ohio State coach Woody Hayes gained notoriety when he uttered the phrase “three things can happen when you pass, and two of them are bad.” This was in relation to his throwback-style offense which was basically a run-it-down-your-throat type that relied heavily on the fullback. In hindsight, it’s where the “three yards and a cloud of dust” philosophy of pounding the football was born, and looking forward to the 2022 season, it’s one in which the Steelers might be smart to use to their advantage.
When incorporating a new quarterback into any offensive system, any offensive coordinator who has any sense will try to back that QB as much as he can with a strong running game, thus not putting too much on a green signal caller.
