Improvement Of Defense Starts With Tackling For Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been accumulating talent on offense for some years now, and that talent at long last emerged in a big way during the 2014 season, producing one of the most successful offenses, both in terms of yardage and scoring, in the league, as well as one of the two best offensive teams in franchise history.

Much of that success, one could say, is at least partly attributable to the Steelers’ ability to stockpile talent that has the capability of making their own plays. One of the chief ways of doing this is to break a tackle, and as Lucas Campbell pointed out yesterday, Pittsburgh is well-represented on the positional leaderboards in that category.
