The Pittsburgh Steelers like to play a lot of Cover 3. That’s nothing new, and it’s been a staple of their defense for years. But it isn’t the most foolproof scheme, and the Steelers have had more than a few issues running it this year, including in last Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. Speaking Thursday, DC Teryl Austin talked about some adjustments the Steelers need to make in that regard.
“Every defense you call, every coverage you call has some weak points, some places that can be exploited. And I just thought they [Bears] did a good job of catching us and getting some things on us,” Austin said via team-provided audio.
