“I stayed here an extra with Mason Cole and looked at some film,” Harris said. “You know, we looked at some things we need to change and looked at some things we need to change as an offense. You know, some things like what tendencies need to change and take that to the coaches. This year, I wanted to bring in a lineman so I could talk to him about what I’m seeing and what they’re seeing so we can talk about what we need to work on to help out the team and the offense. We need to figure out what is going to be successful in these game plans. The stuff we talked about is what is happening now. There’s better looks and stuff.”
The change that Harris is likely talking about is running into lighter boxes. Pittsburgh has run out of overwhelmingly stacked boxes in the first half of the season. However, when they run out of spread looks, they find a lot of success. Box counts are a key issue for this team in the running game, and if they can solve that, not everything will be solved, but a lot of it figures to rectify itself.
