The Steelers spent a lot on their defense this offseason, as they have for years, but the results aren’t there. And their pricy additions—and mainstays—aren’t living up to their price tag, to Field Yates’ surprise. On paper, the Steelers should be great, but on the field, they haven’t been.
“The surprising part to me is, yes, they are integrating some new pieces into this defense. But guys like Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, who have been around forever in the NFL, those are the kind of guys that you don’t worry about what kind of role they’re going to have”, Yates on NFL Live said about the Steelers’ defense.
