The never-ending Aaron Rodgers soap opera will keep the football world glued to TVs and phones as the four-time MVP decides whether to play, retire or demand a trade this offseason. At the end of the day, it seems like RB Najee Harris will again have to handle much of the heavy lifting until the rest of the unit is ready to take on more of the offensive load. Not to mention, the Steelers need more firepower on the perimeter, particularly with wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington set to hit the open market.
THE MOST UNKNOWN UPGRADE
That said, Pittsburgh has to upgrade an offensive line that disappointed last season and could lose Trai Turner and Chukwuma Okorafor in free agency. Whether the Steelers' QB1 ends up being Mason Rudolph, Dwayne Haskins, a draft addition or a veteran acquisition, the offense will likely aim to be more balanced, with second-year coordinator Matt Canada utilizing more of the "smoke and mirror" designs that were staples of his high-powered collegiate offenses. Watt, Pittsburgh's D can compensate for an offense that's forced to break in a new starting quarterback - quite possibly one with limited experience. If the Steelers are able to mesh these creative, exotic schemes with a stout personnel group headlined by Defensive Player of the Year T.J. With a smaller menu of plays at their disposal, quarterbacks had difficulty attacking Flores' defense down the stretch last season, allowing Miami to win eight of its final nine games. In addition, the blitz-and-bluff tactics kept offensive coordinators from utilizing their entire playbook. (Remember the Dolphins' Thursday night drubbing of Lamar Jackson and the Ravens back in November?) A barrage of blitzes from safeties and slot corners in sub-packages made life miserable for opponents attempting to run the ball to the edges or throw it from the pocket against Flores' Fins. At times in Miami, he employed a Cover 0-based scheme that mixed blitzing and bluffing to keep quarterbacks dazed and confused in the pocket. As a defensive play-caller, Flores' units toggled between man-heavy concepts and static zone coverages, based on matchups and how he wanted to neutralize key personnel. One can now go inside, and occasionally The Museum of Flight opens up the spiral staircase for guests to look inside the upper deck.Flores, meanwhile, brings the experience of a former head coach/defensive coordinator who is well-versed in "snowflake" game plans that change from week to week. The Museum of Flight has kept the Boeing prototype which was a testbed for not just Boeing 747 but also new engines for the Boeing 777. It's hard to pick only five of the best aircraft in the collection from the Aeronca C-2 to the Yakovlev Yak-9U Frank but here goes.Īny list of the top five airplanes for Simple Flying must start with the Boeing 747-121 – the first “Jumbo Jet”.

There are also spacecraft in the collection, alongside many notable artifacts too. The Museum of Flight is an avgeek's paradise, housing a collection of more than 120 aircraft of all ages and sizes. The landing gear was kept down the whole flight. Photo: Joe A.
