Steelers Defense - Is it Coaching, Scheme or Players?

Dude. Lebeaus whole philosophy was make them March down the field, and see if they can actually do it, and it was also Cowhers philosophy, they have both stated this many many times, but now because it's Tomlins philosophy, it's stupid??
Also You can't do things You don't have the horses for. We blitzed more than any team in 2020, or 2021, I can't remember which.

 

Makes no difference. You’re saying it doesn’t happen when in fact it does

 

Flores got a promotion and you expected him to stay with the Steelers? Even people in the media knew Flores wasn't going to stick around for the long term.

 

Yes it makes a difference. We were running the ball down their throat, and they couldn't stop it, is way different than a team saying they know what we are doing every play, and yet they can't stop it, and then bragging they know what we are doing every play. Think about that, and if You don't see the difference...well

 

I said the Steelers shouldn't have let him get out the door. Whatever it took, money, title....

 

I hope we see more aggressive defensive play calling. Attack, let the cards fall where they may.

 

He would stay if the steelers would gave him a promotion as DC....We all knew that Flores was a much better DC that Austin at that time

 

Yep, they were too stale on defense last year ending up with only 40 sacks.

 

And everybody knew Austin was still under contract and the Steelers weren't going to fire him just to promote Flores. It would've been a good move football wise, but they don't operate that way.

 

That is the only statement that really makes sense about his situation. He was given a lifeline by MT (things in Miami and his lawsuit), but his talent was far above he was doing here. They could have and probably should have let Austin go and give the job to Flores, anything less and the first good opportunity he was going to go.

 

This is dumb
