The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to understand how they must approach this season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have admitted that, whether it’s Mason Rudolph or someone else, they need competition at quarterback. Why? Since they are aware of the potential this team has when they have “quality play” at the position.
The Steelers learned all of their doubts about other players weren’t genuine when Mason Rudolph took the field as their starter. A star, George Pickens was. Diontae Johnson was every bit as talented as everyone thought. They could make use of Pat Freiermuth however they pleased. Both the defense and the running game were excellent.
They therefore intend not to squander that as we enter a new year. They’ve had enough of losing postseason games and have accepted that the quarterback position is what’s preventing them from moving forward.
They made a major acquisition when they hired an offensive coordinator, and it’s likely that they will continue to bolster their offense in the off-season.
They made the big-time hire at offensive coordinator, and chances are they continue to beef up their offense throughout the offseason.
Kenny Pickett is going to be their QB1 on the first day of OTAs and probably training camp. But he doesn’t have time to showcase the growth he’s hoping to have made.
This summer, his leash is short. Or at least that’s what it sounds like.
