What if the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Tush Push becomes more than a rugby scrum? Arthur Smith isn’t confirming it. But he’s not denying it, either. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Smith hinted at a possible “counterpunch” to the play to keep defenders on their toes.
“You always have counterpunches off of it, and if the situation comes up maybe this Sunday, maybe the next Sunday, we’ll see what happens,” Smith said via a team-issued transcript. “But it’s been a productive play for us.”
Like teams with older and less mobile quarterbacks, the Steelers haven’t used Aaron Rodgers in those situations.
