Through two weeks, maybe the number one complaint I’ve heard from Steelers’ fans is the lack of a fullback. The team paid Derek Watt good money in the offseason. So why isn’t he on the field more?
In his first two games with the black and gold, Watt’s played 14 offensive snaps. Three of those have been kneeldowns. Asked if Watt’s usage in the offense will change after dealing with a training camp injury, Mike Tomlin said that position will always ebb and flow.
“Those of you that have followed us over the years know that we don’t use the fullback to the same degree week in and week out,” Tomlin said during his Tuesday presser.
