This may be the most frustrating Steelers team I can remember. They have talent on both sides of the ball in abundance. The offensive line isn't great, but they aren't as bad as they have been the last few games. Watching games yesterday and on nearly every run play by every team the offensive line is moving people, pulling guys, trapping, misdirection, fullbacks, QB under center. hell, one team, the Lions I think, pulled the TE who picked up a block that sprang the runner.
The Steelers do none of that. The short passing game leaves the defense crowded around the line, makes it hard to run the ball> I think the drops are so abundant because the catch is made short of the sticks and they know they have to haul *** to get the marker. I think a well orchestrated intermediate passing game with some play action, some different formations, and an offensive line that attacks the LOS would help. A lot. Just hope they change the offense up a bit and are successful, because right now the offense stinks like depressed couch farts.
