Steeler Defense "ATROCIOUS"



Coty Sensabaugh gives up the inside release on a quick slant with no help over the top!



To compound the defensive issue on the same play, Morgan Burnett closes with a straight pursuit allowing the receiver "Open Range" to continue towards the left hash mark where there is no one near the receiver to stop a long catch and run.  Steelers have made a "bounty" of high draft picks for assistance in their secondary. None have become reliable and consistent play-makers as of yet.  Who is in charge back there?



Special coverage teams continue to play without discipline.  Look at the running lane provide the return team here. Fortunately,  the ball was stripped from the runner and Pittsburgh recovered.Tomlin seems to put little preparation into this phase of the game and often elects to make decisions like a "riverboat gambler" by electing to go for two point converssions



Defender risks going for the ball on a pass play allowing the receiver to turn up the field!



Coty Sensabaugh again takes a poor closing pursuit angle, gets turned around and allows the receiver to run for long touchdown completion. Steelers have yet to show consistency in tackling.


Here again, defender has runner in grasp and fails to bring down the runner allowing Green Bay to gain a first down.
