Bruce Arians Says the Team Can Get to the Bowl Without Running Much


From: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

The Steelers have become so associated with a dominant running game, it has created the perception that they cannot succeed offensively without one. That is not reality, said offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who pointed to the Super Bowl run the Steelers made during the 2005 season as evidence. In winning three games to get to the Super Bowl, Arians said, the Steelers used the pass to set up the run. “It’s different in Pittsburgh because people believe if you run it 30 times (a game) you automatically win, but when I was here we didn’t win any Super Bowls that way,” Arians said Wednesday. “I know how we won them, and No. 7 (quarterback Ben Roethlisberger) won them for us offensively.”

    Fine, then throw short passes, you jackass! Everything you (Arians) run seems to be intermediate to deep and we all know that anything that takes even a fraction too long to develop is way too much for our fine offensive line as well as Big Ben holdiong the ball too much…So yes, by all means, throw it…Short!!!!
