Make no mistake about it, the Pittsburgh Steelers will struggle on defense in 2015, but if all goes to plan, they are in the process of building something special.
That may be hard to believe with the losses they suffered during the offseason. Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau moved on to Tennessee, three starters—future Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu, sack leader Jason Worilds and cornerback Ike Taylor—retired and defensive leader Brett Keisel was not re-signed.
Although the outlook may look grim, the defense is loaded with young talent poised to make an impact.
