Bill Belichick has ominous warning about the Steelers’ offense

While much of the conversation around the Steelers has centered around who will be the starting quarterback, Bill Belichick sounded the alarm about other personnel issues on their offense.

Belichick appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday and was asked about the debate centered on whether Russell Wilson or Justin Fields should be the team’s Week 1 starter.

He seemed to favor Wilson, who is less turnover-prone than Fields, but then talked about more glaring issues for the offense.

“I think they have bigger problems than at the quarterback position. The defense is, you know, a pretty solid unit,” Belichick said, as covered by Penn Live . “The offensive line had a hard time being consistent there. They lost the tackles … They have a rookie center, and the guards, they’ve had some issues too in the preseason games.”

Nevertheless, Belichick believes that offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, the former head coach of the Falcons, would be a “great fit” to run the offense desired by Mike Tomlin.

“They need to get the running game going, they have good backs, they need to get those backs started,” Belichick continued. “Russell’s good out of the pocket. But I think the problems are bigger than Russell Wilson. I think it’s really offensive line and the running game.”

The Steelers’ running back unit took a hit over the weekend with Jaylen Warren suffering a hamstring that is expected to sideline him for multiple weeks, according to NFL Network .
