The Pittsburgh Steelers’ run defense was much better in Week 3, but it’s not where it needs to be yet. At least, not where it should be with the talent the Steelers have across the board.
Much criticism of the run defense focuses on the defensive line. Outside of Cameron Heyward, the play has been subpar. Specifically, third-year nose tackle Keeanu Benton has been pushed around repeatedly through the first three weeks.
But it’s not just Benton. Former Steelers nose tackle Chris Hoke appeared on the 93.7 The Fan Pomp and Joe Show with fill-in host Donny Chedrick on Thursday.
