Over the course of the past couple of years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have undergone an uncommon amount of change, which could have been largely correlated with the fact that the team had finished 8-8 in consecutive seasons while failing to advance to the postseason.
In deference to general manager Kevin Colbert, the attitude used to approach the offseason in those years was that this was an 8-8 team and these were 8-8 players. It’s little surprise that a lot of things changed during those years.
Though former Steelers outside linebacker Jason Worilds may not be remembered particularly well in 20 years due to his limited impact upon the franchise, his departure from the team does represent a significant upheaval from 2014 to 2015 in terms of how it affects the weekly operation of the defense during the season.
