What needs adjustment post game 3.

100% agree that Steelers running 1-2 formation need to have Metcalf and Austin both on the field in their base setup. Doing so is common sense since the "loss" consists of downfield blocking by Austin instead of a #3 TE, but that doesn't matter since Steelers RB's are never in the secondary. The gain is having two competent wide receivers on the field along with Smith or Washington, Freiermuth and Warren, giving the team 5 potential receivers on any given play. That approach is so common sense that it defies logic why it would not be done.

So it won't be done.


The same logic to your scenario is they have a harder time stacking the box, against the run.

Author Smith needs to mix that 1st & 2nd down up a little more on run / pass percentages.




Salute the nation
