On the latest episode of the BTSC Pittsburgh Steelers podcast “The Standard is the Standard” (you can hear it in the player below) I asked my co-host Lance Williams how close he thought this defense was to becoming dominant. When I mentioned dominance, I referenced the feeling felt in those early-to-late 2000s when you always had the feeling the defense was going to step up and make a play.
To the contrary, most recently the Steelers’ defense has left fans with the “here we go again” feeling more than the “they got this” feeling. But how close are they to bringing a dominant defense back to Pittsburgh?
