How many tight ends can Arthur Smith put on the field? All of them. Yesterday was Smith’s dream turned into action, putting four tight ends on the field during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ goal line drill. A wrinkle that showed the reason why Pittsburgh yearns to be deep at the position and the matchup headaches it creates.
With the ball on the defense’s 2-yard-line and an offense deploying all its tight ends, it might seem like a run. All the big people on the field to pound the rock. Instead, Smith flipped the script. He spread the field.
