Even while the defensive coordinator has changed, some things will remain the same within the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense. One aspect that they like to emphasize up front is executing twists and stunts as part of their numerous pressure and blitz packages, which is something all teams dabble in to one extent or another.
So every time a new player is brought in, be it a draft pick or a free agent, the question is whether or not they are going to fit the Steelers’ system and the manner in which they like to run things on defense. Cameron Heyward was asked, for example, about Melvin Ingram’s fit in their twist-heavy front.
