The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense used to be a mover of men. Their identity was that of a road-grading unit that would churn out the hard-fought yards, and would get the yards that they needed when everybody knew that they were going to run the football.
It seems like awhile ago since that has been the case. You can trace a ‘softer’ approach to the line back to Mike Munchak, who focused more on technique and results than strength and physicality, allowing his linemen to run block from two-point stances. We see the ripple effects today when you don’t have the talent and coaching to work through that, something NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks recently talked about.
