Mike Tomlin was pretty happy with Sean Davis following the Pittsburgh Steelers defender’s first start as the free safety, having previously spent the previous year and a half at strong safety. Overall, I was as well. His tackling technique and angles were solid overall, and served well as the last line of defense against the run.
The main point of interest for everyone though, I’m sure, is how he looked as the deep safety, so that is what I plan on exploring in this film session.
I’m going to start off with what I saw as one of the bigger negative plays from him, on which he was fortunate because Tyrod Taylor never threw the ball.
