The Steelers ranked 10th in rushing yards allowed for the 2017-2018, not great but also not that bad when you see it on paper.* Dive a little deeper however and you’ll find over the last six games, they allowed*133.5 yards per game. During that stretch, the Steelers were ranked second to last in the NFL […]

A 4 /3 would help the pass rush too.

It would be a hell of a lot better than that ****** UP 2DL set thingy, UNLESS that 2DL stands for 2 Designated Ladies and they happen to be a of age but young Meghan Fox and CHRISTINA APPLEGATE FROM HER "Marrid with Children" days............. Then I'd go with the 2DL set all day everyday.

They will play so much sub package football it doesnt really matter too much. The real problem is that they havent been able to get Tuitt and Heyward playing healthy together in a long time.
 
Tuitt playing hurt and Dupree not able to contain killed our run defense. I guess I could throw in Hargrave not being able to clog up the middle. Not a big fan of Hargrave's last season. I felt like he was our weak link up front. DT is a need going forward.
 
. Dive a little deeper however and you’ll find over the last six games they allowed*133.5 yards per game. During that stretch, the Steelers were ranked second to last in the NFL while taking the crown for the worst team in yards per carry, allowing just over five yards. Granted, this all came without Ryan Shazier, but we have a long season(s) without him on the field, and that changes everything.

Yes we are soft at NT and ILB. So why in the world did we not draft ILB at all and wait for round seven to draft a DT/NT?

This has been a weakness, even with Shazier. The truth is our offense often put pressure on the other teams to score quickly, meaning in the first 12 games teams many teams had to abandon their running game early.

the final problem is coaching. That bear game. DUH. You know they can't pass it worth a darn, so why not commit more men closer to the LOS and stop the run? That was a coaching issue.
