And obviously, you can't develop long-term relationships like that with them.

They're there and then they're gone.

So maybe it won't be an issue, but I definitely, and that was the big complaint about him in Atlanta too, is that people would say, well, you know, Bijan doesn't get the ball enough and Greg Lennon doesn't get the ball enough and Kyle Pitts doesn't get the ball enough.

And then you get guys like Matt Collins or whatever, you know, like I think there's definitely this tendency to try to do a little bit too much in terms of the distribution of the touches.

And I know that can be frustrating.

I don't know.

I think he would have gotten more than

the guys in Pittsburgh did I don't think you would ever see Arthur Smith really like force touches to a guy the way that I think you see other offensive coordinators do I just don't think that's how he's wired except maybe at running back I do think like when you look at like Derrick Henry like his Derrick Henry usage was an outlier like he was yes we will give this guy the ball as many times as he can physically do it like are you standing on two feet okay the ball's going to 22

And so I think in terms of running the ball, I would have no concerns about that.

In terms of Jeremiah Smith, maybe.

Although, I mean, DK Metcalf and George Pickens in two seasons in Pittsburgh dominated the target share among wide receivers.

The Steelers just didn't throw the ball that often.

But also, they had bad quarterback play and an offensive line that wasn't very good at pass protection.

So there was other stuff that went into that.

I don't think it was just him not wanting to throw the ball.

So...

I think he'll feed a star to an appropriate level.

I don't think he's going to give up on the rest of the team to do that though.

I would say like from a personality standpoint, he's definitely not for everyone, but people that get him really get him.

I mean, we saw, I think, five or six guys that had played for him before that were not making anything, just want to come follow him to Pittsburgh because that was like their guy.
