Steelers Burning Question: Is there a new offensive identity?
Last season I did the Friday Night Steelers Six Pack and wondered if it was worth doing further. After all, interaction was not great, and sometimes you just have to adjust. So I decided to call an audible, and not just abandon the Friday night meeting of the black-and-gold minds.
Instead of six questions, I wanted to focus solely on one question.
We’ll still do the preamble of what you’re eating/drinking/listening to, but we’ll focus our attention on the one Steelers question of the week. Don’t worry, most weeks I’ll do a bonus/extra credit question for fun. With all that out of the way, let’s get to the question!
After 8 games, and the bye week, what is this team’s offensive identity?
While that may be in unfair question based on Russell Wilson’s small sample size at QB, let me rephrase it for you if you need further clarification.
What do you think the coaching staff want the offensive identity to be? What’s the objective?
In my opinion, I think the Steelers want to be a team who is physical up front, runs the ball at will, and it all sets up the deep passing game off play-action. But as I type that, I think the Steelers genuinely don’t want to be viewed as one-dimensional. In fact, I think they want to impose their will on the opponent in whatever way they deem necessary to win.
With all that said, I am still hesitant this coaching staff will let out all the stops to dominate an opponent, and not just play it safe. To be the aforementioned type of team, you can’t play it safe all the time.
What say you?
As for what I’m eating, I’m headed to family’s house for dinner, so no idea what that will entail. As for drink, it’s store bought kombucha, as usual, and the tunes will be whatever they have playing.
Happy Friday everyone!!
