There’s no relationship that matters more than quarterback and offensive coordinator. Two people who must be in alignment and agreement with a healthy working relationship. The Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled to find that in recent years. Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Canada weren’t a strong pairing while Arthur Smith and Russell Wilson were cordial but, by most accounts, had a strained relationship. For Mason Rudolph and Arthur Smith, so far, so good.
Speaking with the reporters following the team’s first OTA practice Tuesday, Rudolph is buying into Smith’s offensive ideals.
“He’s very detail-oriented,” Rudolph said via the Pittsburgh DSEN YouTube channel.
