It doesn’t take me to tell you communication was one of the biggest issues that loomed over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Thursday night’s loss. The Australians over on The Guardian live blog could have told you something was amiss.
Things will get better. And it isn’t just me looking through a black and gold covered glasses, optimistically hoping and guessing the communication problems will fix themselves. There is genuine reason to believe the defense will get on the same page Sunday afternoon versus the San Francisco 49ers.
The Steelers ran dime packages, using six defensive backs, about a third of the time Thursday.
