add in KP, DJ, Pickens and Robinson. not a bad offense
And also the good teams if the QB play is above average.
But if QB play is below average, it probably doesn't really matter much what you do because you aren't going to beat the best teams anyway.
If you're at around average, I think it's probably better to try to beat the KC and Cincy's of the world by controlling the ball, limiting their opportunities to score, and hoping that your D can get you a turnover. If you don't have a very good QB, I think trying to out pass those teams isn't going to be successful.
Ball control probably won't work consistently either. But I think you probably have a better chance of winning with that strategy.
It might still be bad.
But hopefully it's not as bad as last year. And maybe even better than the year before (which was bad, but better than last year).
I like Andy Weidl. Yes-- the free agency and the draft picked may old school players, or if you prefer new modern type of non @()$$# type ( Non Millennial or Generation Z ) type of men that society is producing less and less of.
The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is 19-18-1 in last 38 games played and hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.
You are going to need to play good POWER Football. You are going to need good 4 man pass rush who can get the job done without 5, or 6, men rushing QB, You will need amount of back 7 players who can cover to realistically beat KC and Cincy. Ie, The ability to run the ball AND a good defense. This offseason took us in the direction.
But most importantly you can't have a " Game manager " type of quarterback unless of course the defense produces 4+ turnovers. We still need this piece of the puzzle and a head coach who can teach, coach, and put it all together. Shopping needs for 2024.

I think the Steelers want to have the ability to win games in a variety of ways.
We?re returning to being physical for sure but that?s not where it stops.
I love the potential we?ll have in 12 personnel. How are teams gonna stop us? If they go small they won?t stop the run. If the go big the can?t stop the pass.
Improving the OLine and adding a dual threat TE changes everything.
Some of y?all are looking at things upside down. Teams aren?t going to be able to keep up with our offense.
