‘Play Power Football:’ Jerome Bettis Thinks Adding Fullback Will Aid Steelers Offense

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis has a solution to fix the team’s offense. Bettis, who ran for over 10,000 yards and was a two-time All-Pro during his tenure with the Steelers, told Heavy that he thinks adding a fullback will make the difference for the offense.

“My focus would be to add a full back, play power football and force teams to commit that eighth guy in the box,” Bettis told Heavy’s Dave Holcomb . “Now, the landscape looks so much easier for my wide receivers,” Bettis said.

He thinks that adding a fullback will give the Steelers more opportunities to utilize play-action.
