Ask Alex: Steelers Mailbag

Welcome back to the mailbag. Two weeks away from camp! Almost here. Definitely starting to gear up for Latrobe.

As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind.

To your questions!

srdan: Do you think Nix will have more offensive snaps this year than last?

Alex: Maybe a little but I think it’s negligible either way. It’s gameplan specific, situation specific. How many games are the Steelers leading? How many short-yardage situations do they have? Steelers were tied for 17th place in 3rd/4th and 1 situations last year,

But I think it’s true Todd Haley was a little more FB friendly than Randy Fichtner. So I don’t expect Nix to have 150 snaps this year. Maybe 100, tops.…
