Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler said yesterday that he expects their game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday to look like a 7-on-7 drill much of the time. The Bills scored more than 30 points per game last season, and generated that through their passing game. That means a lot of defensive backs on the field.
Meanwhile, reporters have continued to ask players and coaches about rookie seventh-round pick Tre Norwood. Is this an indication that he is going to be on the field for the defense in some sub-packages? Is that why the coaching staff keeps talking about keeping things vague, so as not to reveal this (among other things)?
