Steelers' Russell Wilson Shows Impact of Effective Play Action Passing in Arthur Smith's Offense

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have used play action among the most of any team in the NFL. But Russell Wilson's play in his first start showed the impact of what an effective play action passing attack could be in Arthur Smith's offense. Christopher Carter breaks down the numbers and the film on how Wilson played during play action passes, and how Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth and several others thrived off it. Also, it's time for Stars and Skulls grades, with several high marks after the win over the Jets.

The Beanie Bishop gets his highest marks of the season, as does Goerge Pickens, while the Steelers' offensive line and secondary also shine bright.
