The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was sub-standard last season, but in the early portions of training camp, the defensive line seems to be responding to the new philosophies of defensive coordinator Keith Butler.
Dick LeBeau is now the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, and as awkward and strange as it is to see "Coach Dad" wearing the powder blue gear of the Titans, it is equally weird to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers defense without mentioning LeBeau and his legendary 3-4 zone blitzing scheme.
After all, LeBeau's tenure had been as equally congruent with that of other Steelers coaches since he returned to the team following a short stint as the Cincinnati Bengals head coach.
