During his press conference today, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin talked about the team limiting the snaps of some of their defensive lineman and linebackers. Austin said it’s not because of age injury, but rather a byproduct of the depth that the Steelers have this year.
“I don’t think it’s age, I think it’s just that we have really good depth. We were thinking that all through camp, coming out in this state and coming out healthy that we had a really good, deep D-line, and that we would be able to give guys breaks so that we’re fresh and healthy down the end.
