So players play and coaches coach?

[Coryea]

So I'm guessing it has nothing to do with scheme, it's just the player is playing better since Minkah has more TFL, QB Hits, Fumble recoveries, sacks, and the same number of passes defenses, INT's, and forced fumbles in 13 games with Miami than he did in his last 28 games as a Steeler.

Terrell Austin has been with the team for 7 season iirc

He spent the first few as DB coach

After last week he claimed the steelers used the zone blitz strategy of dropping DL into coverage to disrupt the short passing game for the first time since he got here


The past couple seasons the short, quick pass has destroyed us. By my estimate, one trillion fans suggested disguised coverages and dropping rushers into passing lanes to combat this... yet it wasnt done till now...

Our issues are 95% scheme and philosophy

While there are some older players on this defense, there are way too many individually talented players for the defense to be this bad.

Minkah was outspoken, too, made the coaches look bad a couple of times. Instead of fixing the real problem, they got rid of the guy who called it out.

Does the scheme get credit for the years he had from 2019-2022?

Keith Butler was the DC most of that time.

Minkah got progressively worse once Austin became DC. Probably not a coincidence.

Here let me clarify:

Of course Teryl Austin sucks, he's running Tomlin's ****** scheme on top of sucking individually as a D.C....double suckage.

Trade looked plenty good tonight.
