Recently during the mini camps that the Steelers are holding this offseason, tight end Heath Miller and Mike Tomlin both mentioned about the increased role that the tight ends may see this season under new offensive coordinator Todd Haley. NFL.com had an article about just this such topic but time will tell and we’ll believe it when we see it.
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Heath Miller is expected to play a key role as a receiver in new offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s system, Ed Bouchette reports in Thursday’s edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“Haley is excited about what Heath Miller is capable of,” head coach Mike Tomlin said. “He’s been very clear about that, his excitement to work with Miller. I would imagine that the tight end is going to be a part of our plan.”
“I definitely see opportunities for that to happen,” said Miller. “That’s not to say there weren’t opportunities in the last offense. We (the tight ends) are going to be involved a lot.”

Prepare For Miller Time!
By Christopher DiMarino
A lot of the pieces I write have involved tight ends as the subject. I believe it’s an important position on the field and on the Steelers depth chart. Many figured Heath Miller would get more involved in the new offense and it appears to be heading in that direction. With the increased focus on the run game, this was to be expected. Also, let’s not forget...

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette speculated on Wednesday of last week that rookie tackle Mike Adams might be able to attend the Pittsburgh Steelers third and final OTA session that gets underway this week after being told last Tuesday that players can attend once their course work ends, not necessarily when the semester ends. Unfortunately that will not be the case as...

On the Steelers; More run? More pass? Who knows?
If you’ve been reading anything into the comments by members of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense recently then you’d be excused for thinking we may be running the wing-t or full house offense in 2012.
