Steelers fans should be more concerned that the Steelers have always been a team to field a great defense and smash-mouth running game, not so much anymore. Now they play air ball like every other team.

Steelers have 3 playoff wins in the last 10 years.
Mason Rudolph not the problem

**Now they play air ball like every other team.**

The 70s steelers had Lynn Swan and John Stallworth along with Franco and Rocky. A balanced attack. No shotgun iirc.

Blame Tom Landry. He brought back the shotgun formation. The Qb is already in dropback position, instead of trying to get back there, set up AND look for the open receiver.

I probably haven’t watched a combined hour of nfl in the last 40+ years. But I know the players are faster.

Only have seen more college football because I am ocassionally at my son’s home on saturdays.

Frankly, I find it all waaay overhyped.
