Run it until they prove they can stop it!
You’ve probably heard a number of youth and high school football coaches push that mindset over the years when it comes to offenses and running the same plays over and over again. You don’t typically see that in the college or NFL level, though.
But Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith borrowed that mindset just a bit, particularly in and around the red zone against the New York Jets on Sunday.
It led to two touchdowns from Aaron Rodgers to wide receivers Ben Skowronek and Calvin Austin III.
