Secondary Should Be Pittsburgh Steelers’ Biggest Concern Heading Into 2015 Season

For 11 seasons, Dick LeBeau had been the head of the once vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Led by future Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu, they had became an archetype for defense in today’s NFL. However, with the defense finishing 27th in passing out of 32 teams, it is clear that this is no longer the powerful Steelers defense of the past. Now, coming into the 2015 NFL season with the departure of LeBeau and retirements of Polamalu and veteran cornerback Ike Taylor, Pittsburgh’s secondary looks to perform a much-needed overhaul following last year’s disappointing results.
