Keith Butler Confirms Defense Will Keep Using Over Front

I don’t know if Keith Butler is one of your favorite coaches on the Pittsburgh Steelers but I do think he is one of the most honest and willing to talk X’s and O’s of the big three (Tomlin, Haley, Butler). He had a lengthy Q&A session with the media during minicamps. Much of the discussion revolved around the secondary and coverage changes, stuff we already wrote about, but there was a moment that seemed to veer towards the team’s use of their over front.

“A lot of times in basic situations, meaning first or second down, we like to match up the tight end on Cam, on Tuitt, those guys,” he said, via the team site.
