    I hear this every year...Then we get in the playoffs and lose because we score 40, and the other team scores 50...Because our D sucks#

    I am worried after watching Jaguars and Vikings D's. Those teams have damn good Ds. I watch them and think to myself... "Why can't the Steelers be that good?"

    Like I said before, this defense is 2 or 3 drafts away, along with some FA pickups, from being championship caliber.

    I watched that preseason game and didn't see a lot of missed tackles even in the open field. Boone broke a tackle and busted off a big run but that was the most glaring one.

    Granted Cousins and Bortles are not exactly juggernaut QBs... but I was impressed with both D's ability to stop the run on a regular basis. Jags and Vikes both have good RBs and OLs.

    Steelers have wasted too many 1st round draft picks on average players. Our best picks (on the D side) have been Heyward (7 years ago) and Shazier who most likely may be done.
