The Steelers secondary is a source of extreme concern so far this preseason. Let's take a look back at one of the moments that helped transform the Steelers defense into a terrifying force in the NFL
In 2003, the Steelers knew what they wanted and whom they needed to propel to transform their struggling defense. That player was a safety and the specific person was USC's Troy Polamalu.
In 2002 the Steelers defense was a unit in decline, allowing a steadily increasing number of points culminating in 2001 with 376 points allowed, nearly as many as the Steelers defense allowed during their dismal 2014 season.
