While toying with big personnel, the Steelers can’t forget about TEs Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith, Mark Kaboly says. Last game, they deployed 300-pounder Darnell Washington and called Spencer Anderson into service as an extra offensive lineman. HC Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith both hinted at continued usage of that package this week. But you’re paying two tight ends eight-figure salaries, and not without reason.
Tomlin “made it known that this is the personnel he likes with four down linemen. You can’t really have smaller guys in there as a 250-pounder like Freiermuth and be successful”, Kaboly said on 93.
