Heitritter: Steelers Mimicking Philadelphia Eagles In Regard To Prioritizing Depth Along The Defensive Front

The last couple of seasons, the depth at defensive line for the Pittsburgh Steelers was pushed to the max. The depth was tested back in 2021 after veteran DL Tyson Alualu went down in Week 2 due to injury, causing Pittsburgh to have to acquire Montravius Adams during the season to take over the starting nose tackle job while names like Daniel Archibong and Henry Mondeaux saw notable time and snaps along the interior. The same was the case with the EDGE position behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith as guys like Derrick Tuszka, Delontae Scott, and former first round pick Taco Charlton all factored as rotational edge rushers.
