Steelers' Passing Plan to Limit Middle of Field Flawed? Or Similar to Eagles' Plan for Jalen Hurts?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers threw to the middle part of the field among the fewest times of any teams in the NFL. But Christopher Carter thinks the Steelers have a passing plan similar to the Philadelphia Eagles' usage of Jalen Hurts, and shows several key metrics that show why it can work, and where the real problems for the Steelers' offense exist under Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith. Also, Chris takes your calls on the Locked on Steelers hotline, including what the potential of Justin Fields could be in the future, as well as how the Steelers could better use analytics to find answers on the field.
