PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Keith Butler didn't exactly dumb things down when he took over for Dick LeBeau Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator last winter.
Maybe streamlined is the better word.
LeBeau's intricate 3-4 scheme was notorious for its ability to flummox young players even as the Hall of Famer spent a decade overseeing the ''Steel Curtain 2.0.'' In a perfect world, Butler admits he'd love to give his young players a couple of years to learn before sending them into the fray.
The Steelers don't have that kind of time. And maybe they don't need it.
