The Steelers defense continues the pattern of living and dying by the blitz

Since the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dick LeBeau parted ways, defensive coordinator Keith Butler has been saying the same thing since Day 1. This would be how he doesn’t like to rely on the blitz to get pressure on the quarterback. He would rather be able to do so by just sending four players, leaving seven back in coverage in the back end.

What fans have found out throughout Butler’s tenure are this talk is more often just lip service.

The Steelers are a team who loves to blitz, and does it with a high level of frequency.
