Film Room: Butler Deserves Huge Credit For Sunday’s Sack Output

There are basically three reasons how a defense registers a sack.

1. Good coverage
2. Winning one-on-one matchups
3. Good blitz scheme

Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers had all three in their eight sack barrage. But we are most interested in that third one, the blitz scheme, of how Keith Butler’s looks created sacks.

And there was one look that created a lot of pressure Sunday.

Butler did a great job of creating pressure heavy looks with players lined up in almost every gap.
