When it comes to bringing in veteran defensive backs this year, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a pretty clear theme, at least with regards to the ones that they actually signed. Both of them—cornerback Coty Sensabaugh and safety Daimion Stafford—played in defenses similar to the Steelers’, coached by a former Steelers defensive coordinator or defensive backs coach.
Both Sensabaugh and Stafford played under Dick LeBeau in Tennessee, and before him, Ray Horton. I would hope that I don’t need to remind anybody here who Dick LeBeau is, as his style of defense remains the template, with adjustments and tweaks, that the Steelers continue to run.
