Rudolph admits he needs to get Smith-Schuster, Washington involved

Mason Rudolph has gone from the Mad Bomber at Oklahoma State to the Dynamic Dink and Dunker with the Steelers.

At least that's what many are saying following Rudolph's first two starts with the Steelers in which he's made. In fact, his critics are quick to point out Rudolph's average pass went just 3.2 yards past the line of scrimmage in Monday night's 27-3 win over the Bengals.

There is a little more to it than that, however.

"It just happened that way that we took the underneath stuff. And then they come up and we throw it out there to Diontae (Johnson) and it's a touchdown," Rudolph said Thursday as the Steelers (1-3) prepared to play the Ravens (2-2) Sunday at Heinz Field.
