With the additions of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, the franchise hopes that one of these players will provide stability and be the answer to the post-Ben Roethlisberger era. Arthur Smith is the offensive coordinator tasked with arguably the most important job of all this season: building an offense around Russell Wilson or Justin Fields’ strengths while minimizing their weaknesses in hopes of contending for an AFC North crown.
