Damontae Kazee Says DB Group Needs To Create Turnovers: ‘If It Hit Our Hands, We Gotta Make Plays’

When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran safety Damontae Kazee this offseason, they were bringing in a guy with a penchant for forcing turnovers, as evidenced by his 12 career interceptions, including a league-leading seven in 2018 as a member of the Atlanta Falcons. After Week 1, when the Steelers racked up five takeaways in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals, it didn’t seem as if Pittsburgh would miss that part of his game after he went down in the preseason finale with a fractured forearm. But the rest of the season has not been the same story, with the team totaling just 10 takeaways at this point in the year and a -4 turnover ratio.
