Former Pittsburgh Steelers NT Chris Hoke wasn’t a happy camper watching the Pittsburgh Steelers get blown out at home, 30-7 to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday afternoon. Not only did the 49ers’ faithful overshadow Steelers’ Nation, Pittsburgh’s defense didn’t play like the defensive units Hoke was part of. QB Brock Purdy could do no wrong through the air, picking about the Steelers’ soft zone defense. And RB Christian McCaffrey ran at will, ending the day with 152 yards on the ground, highlighted by a 65-yard touchdown.
Appearing on 93.7 The Fan with Ron Cook and Joe Starkey, Thursday, Hoke torched the Steelers’ defense, notably their run defense, and accused them of not caring about playing fundamental football.
