Davis missed two tackles that lead to big plays and did not help out our corners. Bad game by #21

Every player on D had a bad game

I actually liked him as a press corner coming out of college and never scouted him as a good fit as a box safety.

I think he fits well as free safety. Good speed. Good tackler. I think the coaches didn't trust him as the last line of defense when he was so young, but now that his head has caught up to his physical talents, that's his best spot.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the Edmunds pick (thought it was a reach), but he fits what we like and he fits the modern roll of a strong safety/linebacker hybrid. And I think the coaches knew Mitchell was more of a liability than we all realized and that was a big position of need to upgrade our safety spots and how we use them.

This defense is loaded with high round Steeler draft choices everywhere (Heyward, Tuitt, Hargrove, Watt, Dupree, Burns, Davis, Edmunds) and we stole another 1st round talent getting Haden. There really is no reason for it not to start producing on the field. They have to start doing better, consistently. They have to start making impact plays, generating turnovers and winning a game or two for us when the offense sputters.

I'm starting to think this is the year we see a jump in the defense and the offense is the part that starts to show its age and weaknesses. Hopefully the bad Roethlisberger ran its course last week and if we can play smart, solid offense we can lean on this up-and-coming defense to do more and protect leads and not play like we have to score 30 every week to win.

I'm kind of boomish on the defense when you look at it on paper.

Disregard this entire post. We suck on defense and with so many high round draft choices all I can think to blame it on is coaching and scheme. Something isn't working.

Not sure you could judge Davis on this game, seemed like too many receivers were constantly open from the initial defenders.
