Analyst bezweifelt Potenzial der Steelers-Offensive trotz Receiver-Upgrades

Derrik Klassen äußerte sich skeptisch gegenüber der Offensive der Pittsburgh Steelers, selbst nach den Neuverpflichtungen der Receiver Michael Pittman Jr. und Germie Bernard. Er deutete an, dass sich die Einheit möglicherweise kaum verbessern werde, sollte Aaron Rodgers als Quarterback zurückkehren. Klassen äußerte diese Ansichten am Dienstag in der Sendung The Athletic Football Show.

Klassen merkte an, dass Pittman und Bernard gut in eine Offensive im Stil von Aaron Rodgers passen könnten, die auf schnelle Ballabgaben und kurze Pässe ausgerichtet ist. Er sagte, beide Receiver seien intelligent genug, um mit Zonenverteidigungen umzugehen und nach dem Catch Raumgewinn zu erzielen, was hilfreich sein könnte, falls Rodgers erneut die Rolle des Spielmachers übernimmt. Der Analyst lobte die Neuzugänge dafür, dem erfahrenen Quarterback das Spiel im Vergleich zu den Problemen mit der Receiver-Gruppe in der letzten Saison möglicherweise zu erleichtern.
