What do you consider to be the weak link on the 2026 Steelers?

true. i agree.
I think that was the idea when coaches made his average throw 36 inches per pass.

 

I would say on offense it is cohesion and development of offensive line. They are young.

On defense I would say Ilb’s and Safeties. I’m not sure if it was players or scheme under Austin and Tomlin. I’m thinking the scheme was not great to allow for ilb success so I’m hopeful these guys will be better under Graham. They already are working to protect them better with more size upfront to protect the, regarding the safeties it’s a little concerning because we lack speed back there. We have no true free safety, but a bunch of strong safeties. I wish we would have addressed the position sooner in the draft. However we more than likely will play a two high safety so not having a free safety won’t matter as much.

 

I think Brisker and Dashon Elliot will be just fine.

 

Assuming they both stay healthy. That’s a big if. We don’t have a lot of speed at S.

 

If you recall just 2 short years ago Dashon Elliot should have been Steelers MVP, Brisker can play well also and has playing experience with JPJ at PSU,
You could bring up the injury card for any football player. Jaylen Ramsey could also fill in at safety spot if needed.

 

It’s obviously our weakest point right now on the team. The injury concern is valid with Elliot coming off a season ending injury last year. There is a reason we keep bringing in safeties. McArthy voiced it as a concern already.
