Found April 04, 2012 on Steelers Depot: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ben Roethlisberger,  David Johnson,  Todd Haley
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers,  Kansas City Chiefs

One of the biggest criticisms that former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians received from the fan base during his time in Pittsburgh was that he didn't use a true fullback and instead opted to use h-back David Johnson at times in a fullback type role as well as two and three tight end sets.
