The Steelers’ tackling last season was an absolute disaster

There were moments last season when viewers watching the Pittsburgh Steelers defense had to feel the same way I did. As the ball carrier approached a player donning black-and-gold, you knew the first would-be tackler was not going to do the job.

Sure, there were times when the team surprised us all with a solo tackle, or even one for a loss, but so many big plays were a product of poor tackling. After all, there is a reason Mike Tomlin and Keith Butler have already stressed how tackling will be a huge factor in the upcoming training camp this year.
