The Pittsburgh Steelers have extended running backs coach and former interim offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner.
Transcript
00:00 Eddie Faulkner is a dude that has been around for five years now who's, I mean, this guy
00:04 makes headlines all training camp and OTAs because all you're doing is filming the wild
00:11 things that he's putting his running backs through.
00:12 He's had production in Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
00:15 Are you surprised that he's coming back?
00:17 You think there's any form of awkwardness that the Steelers have to worry about?
00:22 I don't think so, really.
00:23 I don't think that's a problem at all.
00:25 I really don't think you have to worry about Eddie Faulkner being, like looking over Arthur
00:31 Smith's shoulder.
00:32 I just don't.
00:33 I think this is a professional environment.
00:34 That's not something that you really need to worry about at all.
00:40 I think it's a well-deserved extension and I think it could work out for Eddie Faulkner
00:44 as well.
00:45 He's shown a little bit of something as an offensive coordinator.
00:49 He's developed two really superstar, not superstar, but star running backs in Pittsburgh.
00:55 When you think about what the Steelers were able to do towards the end of the year last
00:58 year with him as the offensive coordinator, it was the running game that really stood
01:01 out the most in their improvements and their gains in that way.
01:06 Well-deserved and I think this will end up working out for Eddie Faulkner too because
01:10 he can be comfortable in this job, but he's shown what he can do as an offensive coordinator
01:16 and so he can use that as kind of a resume builder moving forward, I think.
