Bye Week Rethink: Taking Stock Of Keith Butler’s Defense

Today is Sunday, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are not playing. They are not playing tomorrow, either, nor did they already play on Thursday. The 6-4 franchise is entering its long awaited and much needed bye week after 10 straight games.

With not much else going on, it would figure to be a good time to reflect on what we have seen over the past three months. Specifically, I would like to explore a few topics this week that the team might want to use this time to reconsider.

Now that the Steelers have finally had their bye week—the last among a group of four teams to get their week off after 10 straight games—I’m sure that the coaching staff spend a good amount of time reflecting back on how the team has performed thus far in a variety of areas.
