Ask Alex: Steelers Mailbag

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Steelers

Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind ahead of tonight’s NFL kickoff and Sunday’s opener between the Steelers and San Francisco 49ers.

To your questions!

srdan:

Do you see the Steelers using 3 safety looks this weekend to help tackle the catch?

Do you think the Stillers will use more nickle this year than last?

Alex: I do. It’s matchup based, usually against 12 personnel with teams who have athletic threats at TE/FB like the 49ers have, so it’s as much about that as it is them tackling the catch.
