If there’s one thing a defense must do against mobile quarterbacks, it’s plaster. They gotta be a sticky defense. Because there will be times where the ball is supposed to come out in 2.5 seconds but becomes a six-second scramble drill. In training camp, that’s magnified. Quarterbacks can’t be hit (at least, they’re not supposed to be and teammates get very mad when they are). They can run around for seconds and seconds waiting for an opener receiver. For the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, that means staying tight on your assignment in man or flowing to the ball in zone all the way through.
