STACKED’s take
Steelers OC plans to expand Freiermuth's usage with more one-on-one isolation opportunities.
Steelers OC Brian Angelichio said the team will continue to 'push the envelope' with Freiermuth's usage, especially when the coaching staff recognizes opportunities to isolate him one-on-one against opposing defenders. Angelichio noted that 'Pat's done a great job of controlling the middle of the field.' The Steelers appear intent on taking advantage of his combination of size, hands, and route-running ability; his presence in the middle can create matchup problems against linebackers while also forcing safeties to account for him, potentially opening opportunities elsewhere in the passing game. Angelichio's comments suggest the Steelers aren't satisfied with simply maintaining Freiermuth's existing role and want to keep expanding it.
