I’m not sorry to be so blunt in the headline but let’s face it; most of you are asking the same question. The Pittsburgh Steelers just aren’t a good tackling football team and there are plenty of excuses but I’m tired of them.
There was a lot of excitement when the Steelers signed veteran defenders Morgan Burnett and Jon Bostic in the offseason. These guys both came in with resumes that were glowing with tales of their tackling prowess. Then they actually showed up and lost this ability as if Pittsburgh were the holder of the tackling kryptonite.
