Former Steelers legend blasts lack of effort by receivers and tight ends
We have questioned the heart and desire of the Pittsburgh Steelers all season long, particularly on offense. We have criticized the effort of the offensive line as well as the skill-position players on multiple occasions. Now former Steelers fullback Merill Hoge is putting his two cents in and he isn’t holding back about the Steelers wide receiver and tight ends.
Hoge was on WDVE and offered up some hard truth about the receivers quitting on routes and going even harder on the tight ends.
“It might be the worst group of route runners in the NFL…the only term I can think of but our tight ends look like two turtles humping when you’re blocking.”
Hoge is an exceptional analyst and can break down plays as well as anyone but you don’t need his level of football acumen to see just how poorly these two positional units have played. This lack of effort is a direct reflection on the Steelers coaching staff and their unwillingness to hold any players accountable for what they do.
