When Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II spoke to the media this past Monday, one topic he talked about was the possibility of addressing the offensive line. While Rooney did not guarantee that changes would be made, he did say the organization would be evaluating the linemen because better play was needed. One day later, the Steelers hired their new offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith.
With the offensive coordinator in place, we have the opportunity to look back on his time as OC of the Tennessee Titans and as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons (where he called the plays) to get an idea of what he likes in his linemen.
