At this point, saying that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been disappointing might be an understatement. For the last two weeks, it’s been awful. That group has been carved up by the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers. The Steelers’ secondary has shown serious flaws, with Darius Slay in particular struggling. He’s had issues tackling and in coverage. Against the Packers, Slay saw his role shrink, and Mike Tomlin explained why.
“We were just playing, we were rolling guys,” Tomlin said Tuesday via the team’s Twitter. “[Brandin] Echols has been good for us and is deserving to play.
