I'm told Mike Sullivan will be back as QB coach unless he gets an OC job elsewhere. And that's a smart move. The QBs love Sullivan and he would be a great buffer for them while they transition to a new style of offense.
However, when it comes to the quarterbacks, one of the biggest differences will be the amount of play-action passes called. Smith has consistently utilized play-action at an above-league-average rate. In fact, his lowest ranking during his two years with the Tennesee Titans and three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons was 16th in his first season as Falcons head coach. By comparison, the Steelers were dead last in the number of play-action passes attempted in 2023.
