Isn't that what coaches/players and media said about Noll too?
Randy needed that strong right hand, needed someone to concentrate on the QBs and also give him insights, fresh eyes, perspective and knowledge on developing a new offense.
Something has got to give in this case. Can not agree more. I believe Fichtner was already a bit overwhelmed from the get go. Having Roethlisberger helped cover that up.
And make no mistake, this offense has to change. We don't have veterans at the skill positions, they are all young and getting younger. What if we draft a RB, WR and TE?? Even more young players. Also, Ben coming off injury to his throwing arm, I can't see him throwing 675 pass attempts like he did in 2018.
Fresh perspective and experience from a strong coaching staff can make their transition to the Pro's faster.
No, this offense has to change, Ben has to be throw the ball some 200 times fewer in 2020. The running game has to get better, has to be an equal part in this offense.
HAS TO!
The days of Ben using his big time arm and forcing/throwing into tight windows, or running around buying time waiting for players to get open are over. They have to be smarter, actually design an offense around him instead of relying on him to be the offense.
Bolded, Italicized and Underlined for Truth!
Side Note: ‘optimistic’ about Steelers GM Kevin Colbert
