The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of questions to answer as they enter a new season. Pittsburgh heads to Atlanta for Week 1 with a completely revamped offense. The Steelers have two new quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, a new offensive coordinator in Arthur Smith and new faces along the offensive line and at wide receiver too.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson looks downfield during the first half of an NFL preseason football game against the Detroit Lions, Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Detroit. Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith looks on before a preseason NFL football game against the Houston Texans, Aug. 9, 2024, in Pittsburgh.
No wonder there’s a lot of “angst” ahead of Week 1, as Tomlin put it. There’s been more turnover than usual for a franchise that prides itself on its stability. The reality is, no one is quite sure how this is going to go. That’s part of the thrill, and part of the anxiety too. The process requires a fair amount of give-and-take and more than a dash of honesty, which can prove elusive during the early days of a relationship with a player.
Pittsburgh somehow made the playoffs last season despite an offense that finished 25th in yards and 28th in points. If the Steelers want to end a postseason playoff win drought that goes back to 2016, they need to be more productive when they have the ball. By the middle of training camp, Tomlin had seen enough that his concern eased. He took the uncommon step of stopping by the wide receivers room one day to let them know he believed they were heading in the right direction.
