What you explained in your post is a west-coast style. Using the pass to setup the run which also has high % of check downs. Look at the teams that had Sanders, would you call them smashmouthed? No you wouldn't because they use Sanders in the same scheme that you discribed above. Smashmouthed football is designed to break the D and control the clock while the style above is more of a score often and fast enough so you don't have to control anything. I don't want a Colt's O in the 'burgh. Last i checked true smashmouth has made the steelers what they are, why leave that? Plus i fear putting the ball into Ben's hands without the run setting up the pass. I still don’t agree with you. What you explained in your post is a west-coast style.
