Going 4 Wide and Empty in 2020

[21STEELERS21]

Biggest improvement from draft on offense will likely come from these formations.
JuJu, Washington, Johnson, Ebron and Claypool are a difficult 5 to defend and any of
these 4 with a faster back like McFarland in the backfield is rather lethal.

Could be seeing Matt Canada's influence starting to have an effect.

you brought Watt to open running lanes but also to protect Ben, better play him in those 4 WR sets

Juju,/swing tackle/,Claypool/Washington/Conner/Watt/McDonald all can block. I would imagine we won't see Ebron and McFarland on the field at the same time .until their blocking abilities are examined..

I can still see us using Samuels as a receiver out of the backfield. He had some good games with Duck dumping the ball off until the defense figured out that was Duck's only real play.

Going Empty backfield is essentially 5 wide. Ben can't get killed if ball is out.

tell that to Ben when under Bruce Arians on 3rd and short and calling for 7 step drop plays

Conner had a very good receiving season in 2018 also.

Em[ty set gives the advantage to defensive line, pin your ears back and get to the QB. It can be beat but I've liked the RB in or in motion to make the DL think a little.

That said

" 5 WIDE...******* "

I would have told you to go stand in a corner---but then I remembered how bad to OL got after Coach Munchak left...

AMEN! Plus it keeps the Defense honest about a fullback carrying the ball every so often.

I actually Hope Canada (the man, not the country) is in line to replace "don't help your players mundane play caller" Fitchner, eventually. Maybe it turns around some this year without all the injuries & BEN bouncing back. Regardless Fitchner needs to adhere to the players on the field and be creatively balanced.

I'm asking a lot but I expect a lot as well.
