So far this season the Pittsburgh Steelers pass rush has been much better than advertised, but the team may be running the risk of burning out their defensive line.
According to Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot, Stephon Tuitt has played 88% of the team’s defensive snaps so far, while Cameron Heyward is at 85%.
Those kinds of numbers will eventually come back to bite Pittsburgh later in the year if the trend continues, so they have to figure something out to add more depth up front on that side of the ball. What’s the solution?
