The Pittsburgh Steelers’ run defense, while improved from 2021, is still a bit shaky. This was especially costly in the fourth quarter of their last two losses, as the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns ran the clock out late en route to their victories. As a result, head coach Mike Tomlin made a change at the nose tackle position, demoting starter Tyson Alualu in favor of second-year Steeler Montravius Adams. When asked, Alualu commented on the decision Wednesday, and appears ready to get back to work.
“It’s more about getting back to playing like I know how I can and doing that consistently,” Alualu said on being demoted to the second team according to the Trib’s Joe Rutter.
