For what the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has in talent, they lack in continuity and cohesion. Outside of a few of the core pieces like Cameron Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and T.J. Watt, there are a lot of young players and new faces on defense over the last year or two.
Right now, the sum of the parts is greater than the whole, when it needs to be the opposite. Minkah Fitzpatrick seems to have a solution in mind.
“I think we just gotta play simple defense,” Fitzpatrick said in a video posted by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on YouTube.
