The Pittsburgh Steelers have always been a team known for defense. Whether that is the Steel Curtain days of the 1970s, the Blitzburgh group in the 1990s, or the suffocating units in the 2000s, the Steelers have fielded some of the top defenses in the history of the league. One of the most important parts of the 2000s iteration of the defense was the secondary. Players like Troy Polamalu, Ryan Clark, Ike Taylor, and others would not only limit the opposition but also create game-changing splash plays to fuel the success of the whole team. Polamalu appeared on an episode of Bussin’ With The Boys on Barstool Sports Tuesday morning and discussed how the unit was able to be so successful.
