ppl here make no sense when was the last time our dline was a threat on pass d? since when has our zone blitz d, you know, the d we've been running for the last 20 years, not been focused on our LBs blitzing? this is why I be frustrated. I feel like the only ppl who know anything about football are ravens fans, sadly |

lol
U don't dare see me bragging about the Skins defense, or anyone in my division for that matter... at one time a couple seasons ago the Giants D was feared immensely. The only thing my team has going for them on defense is our front 7.. they're above average & might prove to be dominant. Our back end is near pathetic, if not pathetic... I'll see tonight which. But yeah.. ur squad USED to have an elite defense.. I think ur just giving a maybe above average group of guys alot more credit than they deserve because ur stuck in the past. But hey, u got ur coordinator still.. he's HOF. That always will play a key role. Dude can coach & put the right personnel out there in the right situations. But elite bro? Come on. |

Word, the steelers run a 3-4. Line isn't there to get sacks.
I still think the d drops off a little. They're good, but if the drop even just a notch? With that offense? Not good. |

our D was #1 giving up yards, and #6 giving up points last yr, and after yesterday they still seem sharp but idk.. if you didn't/don't watch the steelers games then its hard to understand that the d is elite but it is. our D still is elite. and will be for years looking at the current youth and depth we have I was wondering who we would be able to get to replace troy and now I see that it will be jarvis jones dude will be the superstar of the team in two years all we will need is a speed guy to play zone behind him once troy leaves |

That's mostly a product of having no weapons. Losing Leveon was huge. And Brown is perfect as a number two but is not a threat as a 1. Roethlisberger isn't the level of qb to make those type of weapons work

I say throw gilreath out there with sanders in the slot
if they don't respect gilreath which they won't let him burn whoever is guarding him dude got speed idk bout his hands tho lol but lets see what he got. sanders ain't fast enough nor confident enough to be out there tryna catch them 40 yards bombs it looks retarded let him do his underneath routes like he always does. feed brown dwyer is back he can fumble with redman now again we tryna do zone running with pure power backs, let felix jones get 10 carries in the middle of good drives. he will gash for 6-7 yards with felix in the lineup it can be a real game changer as far as the pace goes. they need me on the sidelines, I can't wait to work dudes on madden |

steelers d will end up middle of the pack.
you once was elite....now your defense is barely laughable. your defense is setup to stop the run? 112 yards last game...yeah bro plus. your offense is horrible you have absoluted no way of extending your time on the field..thus making your Elite D tired by the start of the second half. you clinging on to last years stats like yall did something with it. lol |

please, continue to tell me why the d is trash we gave up 112, on the ground they rushed 42 times chris johnson rushed 25 times for 70 yards, under 3 yards a carry if you gonna be a fair weather fan and use the stat lines as an argument, which is what most ppl do when they don't know what they talking about, at least know what stats to look at |

u also lost to the titans.
never said I was an expert. but you seem o clinge on to shit that is irrelevant to fact that your DEFENSE is not ELITE anymore buddy... with confidence I can say the dolphins will have a better D than the steelers. and uhmm...they played yesterday...I saw the game..i watched those 42 carries...I didn't know it was wrong to use what I SAW ON TV to back me up. u gave up 112 yard to the fucking titans. plz. come back to me when your elite defense goes up against a team forth a fuck. |

I'm with Eddie.
That defense is still elite. If elite means top 5 D the Steelers are, have been, and continue to be that. |

i stopped reading the thread halfway through
all i know is the D the steelers run is like the ravens base defense. (although the ravens run everything from 3-4 to 4-3 to the 46 and every type of nickle dime etc, their base d is still the 3-4) the steelers like the ravens want huge linemen who do nothing but take up blockers, so that the linebackers can run free to the ball. but yo like i said i didnt watch this game so i dunno, i seen a short like 2 minute highlight thing and it had jarvis jones smacking cj2k in the backfield pretty nice, and polamalu being polamalu they only gave up 16 points, but the titans are terrible. but i dunno how many turnovers the steelers offense had or what the time of possession is looking like the steelers D is always solid tho. probably finish top 10. i just scrolled up and read some more posts the dolphins D looks nasty, but they played the browns lol. too early to tell about either team. also the browns didnt run much, and were behind so they were passing alot showcasing the dolphins pass rush. but word i can see both D's finishing top 10. i didnt watch the steelers game tho so im just going off the strength of how they usually are |
