“When you got guys like Jalen Ramsey and [Darius] Slay, and JPJ [Joey Porter Jr.], man, we can match up and play man-to-man versus anyone.”
That’s what Mike Tomlin touted in July. On paper, his confidence was understandable. Pittsburgh bought big on the secondary, hoping to complete the defense and match up in a pass-happy world, especially in the division.
That plan has failed. Pittsburgh is not manning up against anyone. They are getting beaten by everyone.
The numbers show it.
Our Clayton Eckert supplied Pittsburgh’s data against man coverage this season, including the unit and individual results.
