While the Pittsburgh Steelers are getting back safety Will Allen today, it is not certain if he will resume his place in the starting lineup after his backup, Robert Golden, has performed capably over the span of the past four games.
What is certain is that the Steelers can now feel comfortable in the level of performance of three of their safeties when it comes to the defensive side of the ball—that is, from the team’s perspective, and not from the fan base.
The coaches all believe in the ability of Mike Mitchell, Allen, and Golden to be in the right place and on the right page within the defense, and each safety brings something a bit different to the table.
