Steelers Coach Gets Honest on Struggling Offense
The Steelers will also be looking for a little more out of their offense this week against the Browns. Despite the win, they failed to get into the endzone against Baltimore and had to rely on their kicker Chris Boswell, who went 6/6 on field goals.
Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith says that Pittsburgh's offense has to be prepared to adapt on a week-to-week basis.
"They are going to game plan," Smith said of opponents. "You can watch whatever it was, the game before, or whatever the numbers were trending, but they weren't going to stay the same. And so every team is going to adapt. Whether they throw something different at you, if it's a set read or show your man or back off, play off, or play some junk (Cover-2) that are trending, show pressure to different guys at spots, That goes into it, as well. And they did a good job, and we didn't make enough plays. But that will be a challenge every week."
