Steelers brough back Dick Lebeau as Defensive Coordinator. That's the best move they made all season. This signals a return to Blitzburgh. A return to offenses being afraid of our defense. A blitzing defense will hide and assist what is still a weak secondary. Still, we have several prospects in the secondary. Long shot CB Terry Fair (1st round Lions pick, devestating injury, trying to make a comeback), Ike Taylor, and Polamalu is expected to break out this year.
Defense will be our strong point.
Our problem last year really stemmed from offensive line depth. We had none. That destroyed our running game and took Plax out of the equation. I think we have some this year though.
Our renewed defense alone will take us to the playoffs. If our Offense follows, if the O-line is repaired we will be a playoff threat.
