 | PITTSBURGH: Offensive line coach Mike Munchak, formerly the Titans' head man, seemed to make an enormous difference with the Steelers' relatively new zone blocking scheme last season'though having a relatively healthy offensive line certainly helped. Le'Veon Bell is the workhorse, as his unique, patient running style has meshed perfectly with the big boys up front. He's facing a two-game suspension to start the season, during which the Steelers are likely looking at a committee approach led by DeAngelo Williams. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley emphasizes quicker timing routes in order to keep quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from absorbing too many hits. Antonio Brown is obviously the No. 1, showing excellent chemistry with Roethlisberger on option routes and moving all over the field to find mismatches. Martavis Bryant is in for a bigger role after breaking out in the second half of 2014. With Dick LeBeau having departed for Tennessee, the Steelers have a new defensive coordinator for the first time since 2004. The retirements of SS Troy Polamalu and CB Ike Taylor leave an inexperienced
secondary for new coordinator Keith Butler, who had been Pittsburgh's linebackers coach since 2003.
| | BUFFALO: At its heart, new offensive coordinator Greg Roman's running game is old-school physical. However, he showed a willingness to be creative when Colin Kaepernick took over as the starting QB in San Francisco, and he figures to make a similar adjustment with LeSean McCoy now his top back. Roman's receiving corps is stronger than the one he had in San Francisco, but this unit figures to be more of a horizontal, catch-and-run attack. For Matt Cassel or Tyrod Taylor, it's a simplified system with a lot of pre-determined reads, especially when they go spread. Defensive-minded head coach Rex Ryan inherits a unit that led the league in sacks in 2014 and is the only NFL team to rack up more than 100 sacks over the past two seasons'DEs Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes are the stars. The Bills traded ILB Kiko Alonso, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. |
