The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense hasn’t been as strong as the team hoped for entering year. Without T.J. Watt, they’ve regressed weekly. One common theme throughout their struggles have been allowing passes between the numbers. While that doesn’t always fall on an outside cornerback like Levi Wallace, he knows it’s a problem his unit must overcome.
“Limit those middle of the field plays,” he said via the team’s YouTube channel when asked how the defense can get better.
It’s been a problem throughout the first quarter of the season, including Sunday’s loss against the New York Jets.
