What scheme adjustments are you looking forward to?

Disguised coverages.. timing passes over the middle, more standard blocking techniques along the oline.

Using the TE in the pass game again

Maybe going back to greater than 25% snaps undrr center...
 
So much of the scheme will be QB dependent. If you have a limited QB then you have to scheme to that. The problem is there are only a few guys that take their QBs and make them better with their scheme. If we can find one of those then that's what I want.
The throwing over the middle etc is what we all want but you need a guy that can do it without consistently giving the ball away.
I wouldn't be surprised if we looked at some of the younger inexperienced guys: Klayton Adams, Adam Stenavich, Hank Fraley all fit the mould of what the Steelers have gone for in the past but none of them have significant (any!) experience as playcallers. But neither did Tomlin or Cowher.
Arthur Smith without Tomlin hovering over the top would be another obvious option, and a much lower risk one.
Should be a fascinating process.

I would look at a guy like Bobby Slowik for OC. From what I've seen, his scheme makes it easy on the QB. Not sure what happened in 2024 in Houston, but I thought he did pretty well there in 2023. Certainly embarrassed the Steelers Defense. It's a low bar, but still.
 
Back to a Todd Haley style offense where we go after what our opponents’ defenses do not do well. Instead of the same thing every game.
 
I would like to see more run oriented schemes where the oline run blocks and not always stepping back into a pass block.


More utilization of TE’s and more underneath routes. I like to see utilization of bootlegs and hitting the middle of the field to keep the chains moving.


On defense, less soft zone coverage.
There is good core group to work with ( Herbig, Wilson, Watt, Black, Harmon, Highsmith and JPJ)
 
I want to get rid of the 9 yard pitch back to the RB.
As soon as I see it, I know it's a TFL.
 
Finding an offensive coordinator is not going to be easy! I’ve watched Shanahan extensively, and if I was art, I’d call 4ers and ask to talk… 9ers not going the sb! They might just be stupid enough to trade head coaches! if tomlin was to still wanted to coach! Too be honest I think it would help both franchises… Shanahan in Pittsburgh Ya!!!

McVay and Shanahan are at the top right now and there is sizeable gap between 2 and 3.
