Fortunately, we don't have to speculate on this, since NextGenStats keeps track of everything you two are discussing.

 

First, no, Ben does not hold the ball long:

^ Tied for the fastest average snap-to-release time in football last year

 

Second, no, teams aren't backing away from the run against Pittsburgh, as James Conner faced 8+ in the box on almost 28% of his carries, which ranked 11th out of all qualifying backs in 2018:

Well as devils advocate the last time Gilbert played over 10 games was in 2016.

 

There Bell only faced an 8 man box 24.52%

 

Ben had a TT of 2.59 seconds and was sacked 17 times and was hit 56 times

They're not gonna bother with this. I'm convinced that they're putting on a full court press for Daryl Williams, which would be a fantastic pickup.

I hope they just make sure he's 100% healthy first. We don't want another Murphy situation.
