When was the last time the defense or special teams won a game for the Steelers?
Not one of the starting give Offensive lineman is doing better this season. They are all underachieving. Alejandro Villanueva has been particularly poor. I have not*seen many pulling plays, wasn't that a strength? Too often Conner is meet by a defender at the line of scrimmage.
The Defensive line has been even worse. Heyward's play has really tailed off. Tuitt, is vastly overpaid. Hargrave an interchangeable piece at best.
It might be time to bench Edmunds. He has a lot to learn. Out of position, and not the most reliable tackler. I'm starting to worry a little about this draft pick. Start Morgan Burnett.
This rush three and drop off for coverage does not work, as the three-man line seldom generates a pass rush, and most of the guy can not cover. Take this out of the playbook.
Our team speed on defense sucks. None of our DB's are 4.40 or better guys and it shows. Matt Thomas needs to play. His speed and coverage is badly needed on a terrible underneath coverage. Bench either Williams or Bostic. Speaking of team speed, we don't have that guy at receiver anymore either.
If we lose the next game to Atlanta, and either the Ravens ( who play the Browns ) or the Bengals ( who play the Dolphins ) win it's going to be very difficult to catch them. 1-3-1...that team doesn't make the playoffs very often..
No need to comment on the coaching, we all know. It comes down the this, the Defense is poor, special teams average, the coaching won't give us an edge and is slow to change things up on game day. If Ben doesn't play well, we are dead in the water.
