The Steelers will soon debut OC Arthur Smith’s new all-tight end* offense, and unsurprisingly, Pat Freiermuth is excited about it. Speaking with Mike DeFabo and Jenna Harner on the Yinziders podcast, he talked about the vision behind the tight-end-heavy approach.
“We have four very dynamic tight ends in our room with all different skill sets, so that allows us to dictate what the defense is gonna be in personnel-wise”, Freiermuth said of the Steelers’ vision for the room.
“If they’re gonna play base against Darnell [Washington], we’re capable of splitting him out, and he’s capable of being a pretty good pass-catching tight end”, he added.
