Making a case For T.J. Hockenson and a return of power football for the Steelers

As a football fan, I have great appreciation for the various styles of play employed throughout the game today. I love the innovation of the spread offense and how it forces defenses to play sideline-to-sideline. I love the multiplicity of the RPO game and how it can make a defense wrong no matter what they do. I love the frantic pace of the up-tempo no-huddle.

I love great defense, too. The 4-2-5 and its use of versatile safeties. The schematic cat-and-mouse game of the zone blitz. The 3-4 with its emphasis on great linebacker play.

My favorite thing to watch in all of football, however, is a great power run game.
