Film Room: The Evolution of the 2019 Steelers secondary, Part 1: A tale of three safeties

The Steelers hired Teryl Austin after the disappointing 2018 season, giving him the title of senior defensive assistant as well as secondary coach. The coach wasn’t all that would change, as the Steelers brought in Steven Nelson to start across from Joe Haden and would later trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick.

This film series is going to look at the season and the evolution of the secondary in both talent and scheme over the course of the season, starting with the first three games, with each contest having a different starting free safety.
