Can Keith Butler Do What Dick Lebeau Never Could on Thursday Night?

Steelers’ new defensive coordinator Keith Butler likely knows he has some huge shoes to fill in taking over the positions held by Dick Lebeau since 2004.

Butler is definitely not in an enviable position, taking over a very young squad, with some pretty glaring holes all over the roster. Making things worse, Butler’s first test comes against a team that has completely decimated the Steelers’ stop unit in recent history.

All of that being said, if Keith Butler would like to endear himself to Steeler Nation, he could do it pretty quickly if he can figure out a puzzle that Dick Lebeau just never seemed able to.
