The Steelers D was something else last season. Early on, throughout training camp and heading into the first game, I was a big Keith Butler doubter. I was a Debbie Downer and a Nervous Nellie. I had little trust or confidence that this D can turn it around, after how badly they fell apart the year before, especially in that playoff loss.
But damn, looking back on this past season, our D came to play. I realized in hindsight something critically important when it comes to rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was fun watching our defense play again. Our defense making splash plays, big sacks, game changing picks & fumbles. TJ Watt is the face of this new Steel Curtain. We've got stud players up and down the depth chart, on all three levels.
That's all I used to care about, was how good our D was, back during the Kordell years. So impressed to see the work Colbert, Tomlin and yeah, Keith Butler have done with this unit.
Just wanted to get that off my chest.
