"I don't know," said Roethlisberger. "We can all look at the film. Coaches will look at it. We tried to run it in the red zone and when we got down there, we just couldn't quite get it all the way in. We'll look at it and figure out what the execution, figure out what it is."<br>

CRUISE CENTRAL, GULFPORT Sunday morning brought the Cruisin' The Coast finale and closing ceremonies at Centennial Plaza, but enthusiasm was still high for the classic and classy rides.

The Steelers lost 31-10 to the Browns and many are asking in the wake of this shellacking whether the gameplans of offensive coordinator Todd Haley are to blame.<br>

I spotted a couple of young lady cruisers, who I suspected were first-timers -- Hailey McQuaid of Pensacola and Jade Walls of Flomaton, Ala. Jade has a '58 Chevy Bel Air four-door and has plans to bring it and some friends to Cruisin' The Coast next year.

They both cheered on the exiting Cruisers: "Come on back, Cruisers! We are so excited towards next year."

Haley has been the offensive coordinator in 38 games since the "retirement" of Bruce Arians, much reviled in the same role in the previous five seasons. The Steelers are 19-19 in those 38.<br>

Although we hate to see the party end, a cursory view of the numbers testifies to the overall success of the 18th Cruisin'. I went to the registration tent and sought out Christopher Smilek, volunteer staffer and number cruncher for Cruisin' The Coast.

"Cruisin' The Coast couldn't happen without the 13 car clubs and hundreds of volunteers, so please say 'thank you' to all the people in yellow shirts at all the venues."

In the 38 games before Arians departed, the Steelers were 27-11. In his five seasons with Tomlin, the Steelers were 55-25, winning 12 games three times.<br>

It would be appropriate to point out here that Cruisin' The Coast Inc. has two employees. All the rest of the work is done by volunteers, from the board of directors on down the line.

The Masked Cruiser says thanks to one and all for putting on the premier Cruisin' event in the entire country.

Now? The offense is averaging a paltry one to two touchdowns per game and they're doing it against some of the league's worst defenses.<br>

So what about some other numbers? This year's registered Cruisers set a new Cruisin' The Coast record -- 7,293 cars from throughout the nation and Canada participated, with one overseas military participant.

Add in the very welcome "late-model Cruisers" and the thousands of spectators (no one was willing to even speculate on that number) and the combined Cruisers had an estimated $22 million economic impact, according to Smilek.

They managed only one touchdown against Cleveland and one the week prior against Jacksonville.<br>

One final number to consider -- a very important number, as it speaks to the character and generosity of all who bought tickets for the Make-A-Wish 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster raffle car. Woody Bailey, vice chairman and executive director of Cruisin' The Coast, said the raffle made $25,500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

@@@ "I don't know," said Roethlisberger. "We can all look at the film. Coaches will look at it. We tried to run it in the red zone and when we got down there, we just couldn't quite get it all the way in. We'll look at it and figure out what the execution, figure out what it is."

The Steelers lost 31-10 to the Browns and many are asking in the wake of this shellacking whether the gameplans of offensive coordinator Todd Haley are to blame.

Haley has been the offensive coordinator in 38 games since the "retirement" of Bruce Arians, much reviled in the same role in the previous five seasons. The Steelers are 19-19 in those 38.

In the 38 games before Arians departed, the Steelers were 27-11. In his five seasons with Tomlin, the Steelers were 55-25, winning 12 games three times.

Now? The offense is averaging a paltry one to two touchdowns per game and they're doing it against some of the league's worst defenses.

They managed only one touchdown against Cleveland and one the week prior against Jacksonville.

For his part, head coach Mike Tomlin is certain the scheme isn't to blame.

The culprit? Execution.

"I am sure of it," said Tomlin. "But we are not executing. We've got to look at all areas. We missed some throws. We had people in position to make plays who didn't. The bottom line is that we came up short in that area and we can't."

Even if execution is to blame, that still falls on Haley's shoulders. It's his job to get the offense ready for work week in and week out. Their failures - whatever name you want to call them by - are his failures.

With a Pro Bowl quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger and a dynamic young running back in Le'Veon Bell, the Steelers offense should be much more productive than they've recently been.

The only question is - where does the fault for their anemic output truly lie?
