“In Week 9, the Steelers defense showed a significant shift in coverage tendencies, using split-safety coverage on a season-high 46.4% of dropbacks after entering the week with the second-lowest split-safety usage rate in the NFL (28.2%).
Jalen Ramsey aligned at safety on 83.6% of his snaps, the first time in his career he positioned at safety on over 30% of his snaps. Recently acquired Kyle Dugger, traded from the Patriots, played 72 of 76 defensive snaps (97.3%) in his Steelers debut. per

My two and a half cents:
I have said this every time in my support of blowing up the coaches associated with defensive game planning and or adjustments of said X and Os during the heat of battle.
Our eyes have seen this defensive
show finally evolve against the Colts.
So will they stay the course or go back to what wasn’t working? Will they adjust when that time comes to adjust or will it take 8 games to recognize and adjust yet again?
Also there are still concerns about the defensive line schematics. Very curious to see the tape what worked with shutting down one of the leagues hottest running backs.
Coming off one of the best victories is a perfect time to discuss this for those who might have minute inner struggles about the state of this team moving forward. I still do not harbor any changed feelings of what needs to ultimately take place. A coaching change. I am still in the firm belief that a brief stimulating victory shouldn’t create a lack of vision of the trees within the forest.
Do I love the win you bet I did. I also want more and have a desire to see this team react quicker to adversity to where we don’t have to see players frustrations escalate before they can carve out a needed victory.
This upcoming road matchup is against a team that lost two of their running backs, two of their tackles. So you disguise your blitzes and pressure their main way of beating you with a capable QB.
As always I would love to be proven wrong. I couldn’t be more happier if that comes to pass. If I can miraculously see a playoff win on the heels of timely adjustments not seen in over a decade.
One of my points revolves around a tiring delusional stance that the players simply need to play better. 8 games in and those said players miraculously played better because they simply stepped up or did something change to put them in a better position for success? (See supporting leadoff statistic) Never-mind that a coach should be able to identify what players aren’t living up to snuff and also not take an extended amount of time to evoke change. Now matter how you slice it….
I so hope the song they are singing isn’t I did my best but I guess my best wasn’t good enough.
Wanna hear it? Here it go…
