Over the course of this offseason, we have gotten several glimpses of the idea that the Pittsburgh Steelers defense under Keith Butler will be doing away with some of the two-gapping mentality traditionally employed by their defensive line in the base 3-4 alignment, which has become a staple of some of the great defenses of the past generation.
One of the biggest glimpses into this increased focus on one-gap, penetrating tendencies for the front line was highlighted yesterday by Alex Kozora in honing in on a conversation that defensive end Cameron Heyward had with Robert Klemko recently with The MMQB.
