The Steelers New Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley knows what the Steelers Bras and Lead Man Tomlin what to do. Get back to Steelers Football and put the Pigskin on the Ground and occasionally put some sauce on it via Air. I think for the most part the Steelers, with the yet to be seen but should be improved Offensive Line, can accomplish that. With Weapons at his Disposal Big Ben has never had you would think we might throw a little Air Coryell or should I say Air Haley in the Mix. Draw them plays up in the grass and go deep because Mom is calling us for Dinner.....it's the last Play before we go in for the night.

The Steelers have arguably the best All-Around Tight End on Sunday in Heeeeeeath Miller and the fastest player on Sunday in Wideout "Da Kid" Mike Wallace. Yes the Steelers need balance but you can't expect Big Ben to sit in the Pocket and be something he is not. The Steelers must play to their strengths on Offense and that is Big Ben improvising and a 60/40 Pass to Run Offense that could be lights out with Air Haley.

Let's take a look at Big Ben's Arsenal at Tight End and at Wideout:

UFA =Unrestricted Free Agent
R =Rookie
S=Projected Starter
SPS=Steeelers Practice Squad
UD=UnDrafted out of College

Steelers Depth Chart TE

Heath Miller #83 S
Leonard Pope #45 UFA 2012
Weslye Saunders #82
David Paulson #48 R
Jamie McCoy #80 SPS

Steelers Depth Chart WR

Mike Wallace #17 S
Antonio Brown #88 S
Jerricho Cotchery #89
Emmanuel Sanders #88
Chris Rainey #22 R
Toney Clemons #11 R
Jimmy Young #14 Bears Practice Squad 2011
David Gilreath #18 Bills Practice Squad 2011
Derrick Williams #15 waived by Lions  2011
Marquis Maze #3 UD 2012

The Tight End Breakdown has Heath penciled in as the Starter and 2nd on the Depth Chart is Former Cardinal and Chief Pope who followed Haley when Haley left the Desert.

Weslye Saunders should get plenty of playing time as he is the fastest of all 3 Tight Ends and had some flashes last season when he played.

The Wideout Breakdown is pretty clear cut and dry from the 1st 4 WR's in Da Kid (when he signs his $2.7 Million Tender...and he will), Tone 2.0, J.C., and Go Go Sanders. JC and Go GO will battle it out or even switch every other series as the 3rd WR or when they go to 4-Wide you will see all Four.

Rookie Round #5 Pick Chris Rainey will be in a Hybrid Role (Special Package..RB/WR) like Haley used Mississippi State RB Dexter McCluster in KC. Toney Clemons might have a shot at least you could probably say practice Squad for him. The most surprising player is former Parade All-American and Penn State Standout Derrick Williams who was waived by the Lions (who he spent 5 seasons with) in September 2011 and he has to make major noise on the Depth Chart to stay in Uniform.

Big Ben has the best Collection of TE's and WR's he has had since he was drafted by the Steelers. Now it all has to come together for the Players, Depth Chart, Mike Wallace getting into camp, and the New Playbook.

Whatever happens the Steelers will be in the running at the end regardless because Lead Man Tomlin will find a Way for it to Work like he always has in his Steelers Tenure.
