So on one hand, I've had wide receivers and other members of the offense, insisting is going to, quote, unquote, open up.

It's a phrase I've heard repeatedly past couple weeks on the south side. But really? Good morning to you. Good. Monday morning. I'm Dan Kovachvich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Steelers, presented by the Fandual Sportsbook. It comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into hockey and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates, same place that you found this. Mandatory

mini camp begins tomorrow. In fact, the next couple of days will be available for full media

access. I'm looking forward to both of those, and maybe even more answers to

more questions that I've got related specifically to this offense, which will have a four-time

MVP at quarterback, albeit 42 years old, three legit talents at wide receiver, but also a couple of experienced

tight ends, a high pedigree and deep offensive line, and maybe more to the point than anything,

not one but two feature running backs, and Jalen Warren and Rico Dowdell.

So when I ask people, what do they mean by opening up?

What I get back is that there's going to be a lot more options.

There's going to be a lot more different players involved.

There's going to be a lot more different parts of the field involved.

And then, generally speaking, I'll say back, okay, so open up means throw the ball more.

Well, no, we're still going to be a power offense.

We're still going to be based on being able to move the ball the way we want to.

So finally, this was at OTAs just a couple of days ago, I put the question directly to

Mike McCarthy, even with everything that you've got at hand, even with the quarterback, the

wide receivers that you have.

Will you see your offense as a power offense?

This was the man's reply.

Definitely.
