Analyst Nate Tice voiced doubts about the upcoming reunion of Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tice highlighted concerns over the offense's quick timing approach. He noted the team's lack of playmakers last season.
Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers are set to reunite in Pittsburgh for the 2026 season. The pair previously achieved success together in Green Bay.
Last season the Steelers offense struggled with consistency under Arthur Smith. Aaron Rodgers showed some strong moments but faced limitations carrying the unit alone.
Speaking Friday on the Football America show, Tice said Rodgers tends to release the ball quickly under pressure. He added that McCarthy is likely to run a similar scheme and that the Steelers lacked the necessary weapons to make it effective.
Pittsburgh has added Michael Pittman Jr. at wide receiver and hopes younger players like Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard can contribute. Rodgers is expected to turn 43 during the season.
