Bringing you guys a film room today. Tons of Pittsburgh Steelers’ players made their debut in Saturday’s preseason opener. Veteran DB Damontae Kazee was part of that group and he flashed, finishing the game with four tackles. Today, we’ll break down those four tackles and sum up Kazee’s value and potential role this season.
First example comes late in the first quarter. Defense loses the running back in the flat off playaction and Travis Homer has daylight down the left sideline. Robert Spillane lacks the foot speed to track him and Kazee has to finish things off. Homer is squeezed by the sideline but watch Kazee cut the back down with a forceful tackle where some defenders would rather push the back out of bounds.
