The Pittsburgh Steelers are keeping their fingers crossed concerning this year’s defense

Player arrivals at this year’s training camp signal the beginning of the Steelers’ continuing pursuit of a seventh Lombardi Trophy.

The Steelers’ defense played short-handed last season, even before the devastating injury to Ryan Shazier.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ league leadership in sacks last season was impressive, but it’s even more remarkable when you consider they accomplished it without an NFL-caliber starting safety on the roster.

Mike Mitchell tried his best, and Steelers Nation will always value his efforts, but the hard truth is that Mitchell was the worst starting safety in the league last season.
