It’s probably not the best feeling in the world after your team cuts you and then your former defensive coordinator talks about how important it is to have a strong and efficient tackling presence at your position. Sorry, Mike Mitchell. But the Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping to get exactly that out of new starting safety Morgan Burnett, a ninth-year veteran from the Green Bay Packers.
Keith Butler has been with the Steelers for a long time. He may have only been their defensive coordinator for the past few seasons, but he spent about a decade prior to that working as the linebackers coach under Dick LeBeau, from whom he learned a great deal.
