In a bumpy year for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, Teryl Austin is pulling out all the stops to get the team over the finish line. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Austin noted a new wrinkle he’s added to the defense that hadn’t existed in his time with the Steelers.
As shared by the Trib’s Chris Adamski, Austin acknowledging dropping defensive linemen into coverage as a way to keep offenses on their toes.
Teryl Austin says that dropping his big DTs into coverage the Steelers hadn't done in his 7 seasons he'd been here.
Cam Heyward had 2 coverage snaps and Keeanu Benton one in the win at Baltimore.
