In part one of this film room we looked at Mark Barron in run defense, today we are going to look at Mark Barron on passing plays.
Mark Barron was signed in free agency to address a major issue on the Steelers 2018 defense, speed (lack of it specifically) at the ILB position. In 2018 the Steelers frequently had T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree covering TE’s and even WRs because both Jon Bostic and Vince Williams were inadequate in coverage. Barron’s speed and cover ability were valued highly by the Steelers for that reason.
