Watt, Queen, Roberts, Highsmith, Herbig, Wilson, Holcomb, Robinson. Back in the day it would be blitzburgh. It will be cover and hunt. And to be fair to shades the secondary probably can't play much zero or cover 1.
I have to agree ......... I like the return to prominence of a past tradition .....Watt, Queen, Roberts, Highsmith, Herbig, Wilson, Holcomb, Robinson. Back in the day it would be blitzburgh. It will be cover and hunt. And to be fair to shades the secondary probably can't play much zero or cover 1.
I understand. But to me Watt is maybe the best defender I've ever seen. And I thought the world of Polamalu. And outside of Watt you have a boat load of starting and backup talent.View attachment 12499
not really...........lol
It is nice to have a stable of guys through the years that allow us such discussions of greatness.I understand. But to me Watt is maybe the best defender I've ever seen. And I thought the world of Polamalu. And outside of Watt you have a boat load of starting and backup talent.

I am hoping Wilson is a Luke Keuchly 2.0 type of guy ............ excited to see some Olineman opening holes for our backs on OFF and a DEF that hunts in packs
Agree 100%. we cannot rely on having a crazy amount of 1t round picks od D. Other teams know what they are trying to doI agree about the players, but our defensive scheme needs tweaked.
Our BLITZBURGH packages have been gone since the days of Dick L. left.
The 2DL seems to be the more popular set when in short yardage situations or goal line.
Play not to lose, instead ofr forcing them to adjust to us.
Salute the nation
I don't think you could find a team who's had more badass linebackers than the Steelers.If any one city should have a sports bar named The Linebacker it should be absolutely, positively be Pittsburgh dammit!!!
Some aspiring businessmen should take note, because others have missed the boat!

Watt is great, but has one major flaw. He over runs the play alot He runs wide or gets pushed wide and then loses the edge. I think the Steelers record w/o Watt speaks for itself i just wish he wouldnt run out wide so muchI understand. But to me Watt is maybe the best defender I've ever seen.

It feels like the entire Steelers defense does this to generate pressure and as a result the run defense suffers. To me it feels more of a scheme/philosophy as the defense will risk making a mistake on a run play for the reward of getting a sack or a TFL.Watt is great, but has one major flaw. He over runs the play alot He runs wide or gets pushed wide and then loses the edge. I think the Steelers record w/o Watt speaks for itself i just wish he wouldnt run out wide so much
But it's all a piece of the puzzle. He takes that wide speed rush to force the over set and then comes inside and either scores or is held.Watt is great, but has one major flaw. He over runs the play alot He runs wide or gets pushed wide and then loses the edge. I think the Steelers record w/o Watt speaks for itself i just wish he wouldnt run out wide so much
So is that why he didn't win DPOY?Watt is great, but has one major flaw. He over runs the play alot He runs wide or gets pushed wide and then loses the edge. I think the Steelers record w/o Watt speaks for itself i just wish he wouldnt run out wide so much
Yea, and let's not forget the great tradition of Lloyd, Greene, Kirkland, Brown. That group was no chopped liver either.I have to agree ......... I like the return to prominence of a past tradition .....
Kirkland very underrated. Huge man who ran fastYea, and let's not forget the great tradition of Lloyd, Greene, Kirkland, Brown. That group was no chopped liver either.
Guy wanted no part of Deebo.One of my favorites.
Harrison wasn't playing dirty, he was pissed at the Cardinal because he went straight for Harrisons knees.
Those were great days to be a Steeler fan
I'd like to see some defensive adjustments too, but Payton Wilson is the kind of player who can help any defensive coordinator look smart. That guy is going to be all over the field -- can't wait to watch him play for the Steelers.I agree about the players, but our defensive scheme needs tweaked.
