A Healthy Relationship
On this episode of Steelers Central, we get into the relationship that will decide the Steelers' offensive success this season: Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers. The relationship and respect between the offensive coordinator and the quarterback are essential to achieving offensive success, especially between two headstrong individuals. Rodgers and Smith need to be on the same page and have each other’s best interests in mind, particularly in the trying times of the season. I think if things go downhill, the team may suffer as a consequence, with Rodgers being a more vocal player when things aren’t going right. I do think they are off to a better start than Smith and Russell Wilson, though.
Next, it's a topic we discuss every offseason: Will the Steelers attack the MOF more? Russell Wilson did not do this often last year, but when he did, he was successful. Rodgers achieved this at the seventh-highest rate in the NFL, but he did not throw it very far and did not have as much success as Wilson when he did. Quantity or quality, what will the Steelers do this year, especially when you have a coach who is hesitant to throw it there?
The Steelers extended a critical piece to their backend in DeShon Elliott on a two-year extension. I love the Steelers getting out ahead of this signing, and it is a bigger signing than people think. Elliott is a fast, physical tone setter for this defense, and this could solidify the Steelers' having a solid safety duo for years to come. What does this signing mean for the locker room and the team going forward this year?
Lastly, it’s time to take a look at the minicamp winners from last week. Hint: Kaleb Johnson is on there. We won’t get too excited, but we’ll look at a WR who already has an established role, a young tackle looking for a breakout year switching sides, and a feel-good story for one linebacker who missed 1.5 years of football but is looking to rebound.
