Through two preseason games the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has left much to be desired, at least from a run defense perspective. While the Steelers won’t make many excuses for that regardless of who is on the field, the fact of the matter remains that some of the big names aren’t playing many snaps at all right now, which has led to some below-standard play.
Still, new Steelers linebacker Myles Jack believes that when the ball is kicked off on Sept. 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati, the Steelers’ defense will be “ready to rock” with its new parts all gelling.
