Ask the men he coaches what makes Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner tick http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/phil-dawson-jersey-cheap , and you get a variation of the same response.He's a dude. A good dude. But just a dude."There's nothing special or outrageous or eccentric," guard David DeCastro said.And that might be exactly what the Steelers need after six highly productive if occasionally volatile seasons with Todd Haley calling the plays.On the surface Fichtner and his predecessor could not be more different. The sometimes combustible Haley wasn't one to hide his emotions and followed a personal mandate to wear shorts at every practice regardless of the weather.Fichtner, promoted from quarterbacks coach to coordinator in January after the team allowed Haley's contract to expire, takes a decidedly more even-keel approach.The most recent time he remembers truly losing it on the field came during the 2010 season opener against Atlanta.When Rashard Mendenhall crossed the goal line for a walk-off win, Fichtner leapt into the air and jokes he may have pulled his hamstring in the process.To be fair, the 54-year-old Fichtner can still move a little bit. He finished practice on Thursday by playfully dropping into coverage as a safety while the first-team offense went through a quick walkthrough after the defense left the field.Unlike Haley, Fichtner makes more conservative choices, at least sartorially.While Haley showed off his calves, Fichtner is usually in sweats, a long-sleeved undershirt and a pullover as he was on Wednesday even as temperatures soared into the 90s.The thing is, Fichtner didn't really look uncomfortable. Probably a good thing considering the stakes of his new gig.He takes over one of the league's most star-laden offenses, even with All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell out while waiting ... and waiting ... to sign his one-year franchise tender. All Fichtner has to do is design an attack that will produce a fifth consecutive playoff berth and — the team hopes — its first trip to the Super Bowl in eight years.Asked if he's ready to be second-guessed every Monday and Fichtner smiled."Sure, absolutely, comes with it," Fichtner said. "I get it."He's been there before, just not for a while. He's a football lifer. His father Ross was a quarterback at Purdue then spent eight seasons as a cornerback for the Cleveland Browns in the 1960s. Randy didn't wander far afield.He played briefly at Purdue then went immediately into coaching after graduation. His nomadic climb up the ladder included four years at Arkansas State from 1997-2000, where he crossed paths with a young defensive backs coach whose energy and edge Fichtner couldn't help but be drawn to.So when that young defensive backs coach called in 2006 and offered Fichtner a job in the NFL, Fichtner figured there was no way he could tell Mike Tomlin no.More than a decade later, the partnership is still going and is one of the main reasons Fichtner stayed in Pittsburgh rather than chase other opportunities."That's just http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/jamar-taylor-jersey-cheap , my relationship with Mike," Fichtner said. "I told him when I came, I told him 'I'm coming for you' and since I've been here, I'm all-in for the (owners) and the organization also. Makes it a couple of reasons. I've always felt I've been content with jobs that I've had and I'm content and just do the best I can."Having some of the most talented players at his disposal doesn't hurt either. Fichtner has developed a strong bond with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who figures to given plenty of leeway to run the no-huddle as he pleases when the Steelers open the season in Cleveland on Sunday."I'm sure he's quite capable of making the right decisions at the right time," Fichtner said. "He's done it in the past and I don't see it being any different in the future."Still, even Roethlisberger is a bit curious how different things will be with Fichtner's voice coming through his helmet instead of Haley's."I don't know," Roethlisberger said. "We'll see. That's the question everyone wants to find out. What's Randy's personality? What are his tendencies? We'll all find out on Sunday I guess."Josh Dobbs, who credited Fichtner's tutelage for helping him supplant Landry Jones as Roethlisberger's primary backup coming out of training camp, is curious to see how willing Fichtner will be to let the creativity he shows during meetings come to life on the field.Yet for all of Fichtner's "just one of the guys" persona, Dobbs allows there's a fire underneath even if it's imperceptible on the practice field. Just start watching film with Fichtner. The joking stops, at least briefly, replaced by Fichtner's inner perfectionist."When you get in the meeting room, he flips and he's the most passionate guy every single play," Dobbs said. "It's 'Do this and it's a touchdown. This is what we can do.'"The self-described "old dude" understands he's an unknown quantity outside the locker room. He's not inside the locker room. His role has changed. His approach has not."He's probably wanted to be an OC for a long time," Dobbs said. "So to get to that position where he's the guy calling plays and game-planning and to see him not change is really good. He's the same guy, bringing energy. ... I think that shows in how he attacks the field."NOTES: Tomlin said he does not plan to outline the team's plan for Bell with Bell's representative. Bell's agent Adisa Bakari said Wednesday they wanted to discuss Bell's usage before Bell reports. "I don't communicate with agents regarding how I utilize players," Tomlin said. "I communicate with players regarding how I utilize players." ... TE Vance McDonald (foot) did not practice on Thursday and is unlikely to play against the Browns. Offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is building the Arizona Cardinals' offense from scratch and, big surprise http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/antoine-bethea-jersey-cheap , David Johnson is figuring prominently in his plays."David's a special back," McCoy said after the Cardinals practiced in pads in muggy weather outdoors on Tuesday."You see how the offensive line worked together the first day in pads (on Monday)," McCoy said. "That was a positive, watching those guys and the way they all work together. We've got a long ways to go still but that's what training camp is for. But we're off to a good start."McCoy brings plenty of experience to work alongside first-year coach Steve Wilks. McCoy was head coach of the San Diego Chargers as well as two stints as offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.Johnson sat out minicamp in a contract dispute but came back for training camp and, as always, has impressed his coaches."I think everybody knows what kind of player he is," McCoy said. "The way he played in the '16 season. He can do it all."Johnson led the NFL in yards from scrimmage in 2016 but broke his left wrist in last year's opener and missed the remainder of the season. He's fully healthy now.McCoy said that most running backs are all right out of the backfield, "but he's special.""He can run every route in the route tree a receiver runs," McCoy said. "Are we going to do that with him? We'll find out come the season, and you just love the way he works all the day."At quarterback, Sam Bradford is working on chemistry with his receivers, particularly Larry Fitzgerald, who has caught at least one pass from 17 different quarterbacks in his 14-year NFL career.Bradford and Fitzgerald both were given a veteran's day off from practice on Tuesday."He's looked great," McCoy said of Bradford. "He's very intelligent. He goes through the progressions. You can watch thee veterans, different from a young player, when something's not there and it breaks down, there's no hesitation of where to go with the ball. Sam's done a great job of running the show when he's in there."Quarterback Josh Rosen, meanwhile, is going through a rookie learning curve."Josh is like every rookie http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/mike-iupati-jersey-cheap ," McCoy said. "There's the good days, there's the good plays and there's that one or two plays you look at and you say 'OK, I know this is the first time you saw blitz zero with this play or this protection scheme, but didn't we just go over it in the meeting?"The offense will be designed to take advantage of what the players do best, McCoy said.And it's clear that he and Wilks want a physical running game."That's what training camp's for, really, for the running game," McCoy said. "You try to become a physical football team in training camp."The Cardinals overhauled the offensive line. D.J. Humphries remains at left tackle, Mike Iupati is still the left guard and A.Q. Shipley is still the center. But the right side is occupied by a couple of free agent signees — Justin Pugh at right guard and Andre Smith at right tackle.Now they're strengths are being evaluated."Who is the best puller? Who are our best double-team guys? How do our tight ends block certain schemes?" McCoy said "So you find out a lot about your players. That's our job as coaches is to make sure to find out what they do best."That's especially true of quarterbacks.If a quarterback doesn't like a play that's on the call sheet, McCoy said, "Give me that red pen, we'll cross off those plays you don't like and we'll be OK if everyone believes in what we're doing."The biggest competition on offense might be at wide receiver, where a handful of players are vying for the spots behind Fitzgerald.That won't sort itself out, most likely, until the end of preseason.
