Ward says Dixon be Dixon: Arians says no runnning in my Offense

Arians has been critical of Dixon’s penchant for running. Arians would like to see more crispness out of Dixon reading routes, but he doesn’t frown upon his quarterback for trying to make plays.

If you replace “running” with holding onto the ball… this could describe someone else as well.

I have not yet begun to procrastinate.

Only Arians hasn’t been critical of Ben for holding onto the ball. He’s defended him on multiple occasions. It’s like he has no interesting in helping Ben improve. Or he knows that his offense sucks ass and needs Ben to bail him out with backyard ball.

True that...

I agree all the way. I don’t see a lot of pushing Ben to get better at his shortcomings, but of course, I don’t see a lot of practice either, so… yeah.

Do you think, if Dixon wins, Arians would just sit and watch Dixon be Dixon (in the same sense as he’s watched Ben be Ben)?

Does it matter?

If you have to play Dixon then you use his strengths.

One of Arians biggest flaws is his stubbornness. Which I think also plays out in his play calling, which leads to predictability. He is reluctant to give up on his philosophy or try different things. He has gotten a little better over time but seriously if you just need to win a game, who cares how it gets done. Win the game! Develop the QB in practice and as he gets better and the game slows down for him more he will trust his arm more.

I love the Steelers.
