If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to right the ship and get back to their winning ways, they’ll have to contain the Cleveland Browns’ potent run game. Speaking to the media today, Cam Heyward explained how to stop the Browns favorite style of runs – their zone scheme.
“First, it’s everybody’s staying in their gap,” Heyward told reporters via Steelers.com. “A lot of times a guy can get reached and put everybody at risk because he’s not in his gap. The C and D areas like I mentioned before really become critical because as they get stretched, you can either get upfield and create a vertical seam or you can get pushed back and then they continue to run the edge and then they get upfield.
