Merril Hoge Torches Steelers’ Lazy Route Running, Says Tight Ends Block Like ‘Two Turtles Humping’

They said I’d never get to use the phrase “two turtles humping” in a post about football. And today, they’ve been proven wrong. Merril Hodge shared his blunt and colorful thoughts on the state of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. A unit that, to him, has talent but no heart. All bark, no bite.

Appearing on 102.5 DVE with Randy Baumann Wednesday morning, Hoge chastised the Steelers’ effort he’s seeing on tape from the receivers and blockers.

“It might be the worst group of route runners in the NFL, okay?” he told the show.
