@Down Comes the Hammer No, he's not kidding. We Steeler fans take it for granted. It almost seems like we take our head coach from cradle to grave. Noll in 1969-93. Cowher 94-2006. And Tomlin now from 2007 to today.
remember when 2 or 3 years ago we were considered a terrible defense? And now still with the same coordinator we turned it around. I just hope that Devin Bush's injury won't disturb it too much
Yep sure do.. What I noticed changed alot is that in recent years we would try to change from week to week depending on the team.. And I believe it was to confusing and too much for the players and led to communication break downs.. Now they have found a system that works interchangeable with any team and instead of making drastic changes, they just tweak few things here and there.. So from week to week the plan stays for the most part the same and the execution gets polished week in week out. Also we have gotten alot better at disguising what we are doing which puts QBs under pressure even before the ball is snapped.
I got so frustrated during Lebeaus last few years in Pit. He never could get his defense to stop the Zone Blocking scheme running attacks. At least Keith Butler doesnt make draft picks wait years to start, and Butler, unlike Lebeau, gets his Dline to pass rush more frequently rather than just always use them as decoys
I think people were referring to the secondary giving up the deep ball. Still very much a point of concern. Minkah was a great get to lean them out of that conversation for the most part but there are still concerns in that secondary.
if you get drafted to Pittsburgh you can expect to be there for a while. I think that helps them more than anything. The ability to truly trust your teammates with your whole heart is something that a lot of teams don’t have because of their roster inconsistency.
That's why they played so good in the 80's. They worked together & knew what the other team mate was doing. Read into it. When we started losing guys & some retired, the Steelers started falling apart. Hoping we keep all these guys for a long time.
Tampa gives away fewer yards per carry than them. The only reason their totals are so low is cos they've been rushed on way less than any other defence
@@zachlee7945 They're rushed less because opposing teams are playing from behind. That has it's own issues for run defense. You'll notice that most of the rush yards the Steelers have given up have come off long runs (Alex alluded to it in the video). A lot of those long run yards have come from draw plays on passing downs trying to catch up in the game against the Steelers nickel defense. That's not to say long runs are not important to run defense, but when the Steelers are expecting run they are very good at stopping it. It's why Alex mentioned adjusted line yards which puts less value on yards gained from long runs. It puts more emphasis on how much the front seven can dominate the line of scrimmage.
@@ggg21201 Absolutely. We end up going to Tampa 2 or the prevent and it screws the pooch. We need to stay 5 on the line. Tomlin's got the Tampa 2 on the brain since he was a coach with Tampa in their last Superbowl win. We need to get that crummy defense out of his head with an exorcist.
The DB record for sacks in a season is 6, Hilton has 3 through 5 games. I wonder if he has a shot at 7. If he gets at least one more in the next three games, he might do it.
I used to play nickel in high school, and I almost always was blitzing. Usually lined up against a WR who didn't/couldn't stop block or nobody at all, that was a really fun season lol
@@AlexRollinsNFL We got Alualu for practically nothing as a disappointment out of Jacksonville I think, where he was a first round pick. We've had him for several years. I was a little dubious, based upon his being just a rest D lineman for Tuitt and Heyward, when our Nose Tackle went free agent, cause our nose played those sub packages. But this is beyond our expectations. He's playing lights out on sub and run packages. He's the ultimate late bloomer.
Their depth at every position is insane. And that “depth” can play. That’s from building the people you have in your building, Steelers are a class act organization.
As a steelers fan, This really shows how great Carson Wentz is. In pitsburgh he dropped 29 on our head. Everyone else averaging 18 points a game. I’m telling y’all Carson Wentz is boutta be dangerous as hell when he get his weapons back.
they barely beat the giants and that was without barkley in the giants lineup. the problem with wentz is he shows signs of being a great qb at times, but then he goes back to looking like some backup qb other times when he throws ill advised throws that turns into int's. he's too inconsistent.
You do realize miles sanders busted off a 75 yard td run and had another td run later in the game too? I’m not arguing you but I think you’re giving Wentz a little too much praise lol he only accounted for 14 of those 29 points
@@JM-md4ri I’m just saying from the standpoint. He shredded our corners. He made us not want to be blitzburg which made us give up that long ass run. And ok and you want him to score every touchdown lol. I get the long sanders run but the other rushing touchdown from the two was a little nitpicky.
This video can also be viewed as an explanation for why the Patriots have had the Steelers number for the last two decades. Brady knows exactly what they are trying to do, knows how to defeat it, and like Belichick says, "it hasn't changed".
I know this is really old but most of the time Brady played the Steelers is when they had a trash defense a matter fact when he play the Steelers with the good defense he wasn’t doing as well so......
I’m so happy this video popped into my recommended. I watched a ton of your videos last season and could not think of the name of your channel for the life of me.
This was the best video of my life I felt like a kid again 🥺watchin Steelers 🏈handle business thanks for this now I can show it to my haters god bless stay safe out here ppl
Another important aspect of the Steelers' D is that the D-line handles double teams almost every down. Their strength in the double-team blocking scheme opens up the gaps for those corner and linebacker blitzes. Great video! Thanks!
The way they play defense is really quite beautiful to watch live and also on film. Not a Steelers fan by any stretch but some of my favorite players are big parts of that defense
Bush, Watt, Dupree, Burns (bust), Edmunds, Hayward, Minkah (traded for a 1st round pick), and both Haden and Alualu were first round picks for other teams. So basically, 75% of the starting defense is former 1st round picks...
Awesome presentation. As a former South Sider having lived in Australia for a long time now, it's great to get these nuanced facts and tidbits to keep me better informed. Thanks much.
Hey Robert, we just re-signed Jordan Berry as our punter because Colquitt is even worse. Can you please kidnap and take Berry the Aussie back to Australia with you? And convince him to stay home? Please? We really need a decent punter. My dead grandma is better than either Colquitt or Berry. if you kidnap him, then we can put in anyone off the street and be happy.
Well, the inability to stop big plays is kind of the deal you get when you get Minkah Fitzpatrick. He's so aggressive in jumping routes he thinks he sees coming that this kind of happens sometimes. But this is just a problem in the first few weeks, until he figured out what the other teams will do in which situation. He'll crush offenses in the second half of the season.
This. I agree whole heartedly he is great when it comes to those random ints but other teams can sometimes get very consistent gains from him being so aggressive
Tomlin is brilliant. Remember he was a architect if that 02 Bucs defense that won a title. Tomlin is using a 3-4 front and 3-4 looks but USING TAMPA 2 PRINCIPALS. He is using the 2002 Bucs playbook but keeping THE STEELERS 90'S 3-4 LOOK... This is a cover 2 defense... The 02 Bucs blitzed their nickel back RONDE BARBER all the time and then they would famously drop him back into a zone dog to take a away crossing routes and check downs. This IS THE TAMPA 2 DEFENSE...
It seems like the defense fixed their coverage issues last week against the browns but we'll have to see for sure this week. They locked up baker but that could also just be baker sucking against pressure.
Man watching this Steelers defense has been so much fun the last 2 years. Cannot wait to match up against Derrick Henry and the Titans today. Here we go⚠️
Communication in the secondary/ minor details and getting Minkah Fitzpatrick to actually tackle are our major weaknesses on defense. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve seen minkah just throw a shoulder. I know he’s a playmaker but someone on our team needs to get in his ass and stress the importance of WRAPPING UP!
the impact of minkah fitzpatrick absolutely can’t be understated though. He basically enables their defensive scheme because they can drop him back in a single high safety a lot more than most teams
It’s going to be tough this week vs the titans without Bush and now Hilton 2 KEY parts of that defense which I hate to say it might give the titans the advantage... go figure 🤦♂️🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛
Tomlin already said Hilton wouldn’t of been used that much this week anyway. In terms of the run. And they seem confident is Spillane so I’m not worried
It is going to depend on how Vince Williams plays, if we shuts Derek Henry down it's an easy win. All our offense has to do is score early and get a lead on the Titans
@@hughesiv6515 I'd be more worried about losing Hilton than losing Bush. Spillane looked like a stud last week, but our secondary is suspect if minkah isn't raking in interceptions, and tannehill has been lighting it up.
I was a huge fan of the 49ers defense in 2011-2013. It reminded me of the 2000s steelers D. Justin Smith was a key cog to that Defense, he needed 2 linemen to block him. Aldon smith beside him was a wrecking ball, and they had Bowman and Patrick Willis in the middle. That was a nasty front 7.
And if I recall, the 49ers demolished teams back in the 80's using the 3-4 alignment. Everyone talks about Bill Walsh's innovative offense, and rightfully so. But George Seifert's defensive units were very underrated.
The Bucs run a very similar style. The same 3-4 base with 5 men on the line. I am genuinely not sure which of us has the better D right now. We lost Vea and the Steelers lost Bush, both defenses are lesser without them. It's going to be interesting to see the rankings at the end of the year. There is an outside chance we will meet in the Super Bowl.
I love my Steelers but can't count where this season ends up yet. They have been beatable at home in the playoffs. I've also seen a number of times where the team that looks like the best through the regular season does not make it to the big dance.
Committing so many hats to rushing the QB puts pressure on the DBs to not blow assignments. Minkah is All-Pro but he can't coverup all the blown assignments by Nelson, Sutton and Davis. The need more speed from their corners and I expect them to try address this in the off-season.
@@craftthemoon The defense is the same defense(for the most part) that has played together for years. The O has new skill guys in Claypool, Ebron, and Washington is now coming around. No pre season for Ben to get better acclimated to the new guys, that's why they appear about average..when they blow up it's going to be something.
@@ifurmomasteelersfanillsmas9582 I'm a Steelers fan. I was just commenting on that because the sports talking heads are back to calling Ben a game manager. They don't get that he just hasn't jelled with these new guys just yet, though Claypool is coming along nicely as well as Washington. Like I said when they all are on the same page this O is going to explode on some unfortunate team.
The way to beat Blitzburgh is with 2 TE sets. If your 2 TEs are very capable pass catchers, the LBs on the edge are forced to respect them and slow down or the Steeler defense will get eaten alive. This is why Bill Belichick has been bananas about finding great TEs in New England. Belichick knows the super bowl probably goes thru the Steelers every year, so he is always trying to upgrade at TE. This is why Belichick had Gronk and Aaron Hernandez. That's how to beat Pittsburgh. The Titans are actually building to beat the Steelers as they have 2 up and coming TEs in Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firkser. I would bet the Titans beat the Steelers this week because the Titans have the personnel to stop the Blitzburgh defense. The Steelers cannot go after Tannehill because it would mean Smith and Firkser are gonna run free all day and eat them alive.
Not sure what defense the colts ran as well but in the early 2000s it was mostly colts and Steelers I think not too sure though so might depend on that for the two tight ends
Here we go Steelers here we go the Steelers are phenomenal this season show the rest of the NFL why we run the north and get that 7th Vince Lombardi Trophy and show the haters why Pittsburgh is the city of champions
The Jets would fire Adam Gase, and hire Alex Rollins for head coach but they're tanking for Lawrence. When Alex goes to the NFL he better keep making these youtube videos! Who else can explain the Steel curtain, Tampa 2, etc. For people like us that just see's a 3 - 4 , and doesn't pay attention to where the linebackers lineup. Heck who here started paying more attention to where defenders lineup because of these videos!!
...And everyone said we were insane for letting Brown & Bell walk. They all said that we’d never win the division or make the playoffs afterwards. Obviously last year was a wash because 3/4 of the team was injured, but look how they’ve jelled without two primadonnas destroying the chemistry and wanting it to be all about them.
It's so annoying hearing other fan bases think they actually have a chance of winning when they play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just give up hope and bow down to the greatest thing to happen to the universe since it was created
This is similar to how Pittsburgh destroyed Houston's Run & Shoot offense & basically ended that trend - Rod Woodson would like up over one of the slot receivers and pound Warren Moon into dust over the course of a game.
Losing Mike Hilton was a huge hit to this team this year... Devin bush not being the same after injury has hurt! Stephon tuitt blowing his knee out and his brother getting killed in a hit and run has taken him out for the season.. Add that with a few other injuries here and there with normal roster turnover, coupled with a bad offense that keeps them on the field too long and you get a rough year! All that being said, they still lead the league in sacks for the 5th year in a row! Blitzburgh! Baby!

The Titans are actually building to beat the Steelers as they have 2 up and coming TEs in Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firkser. I would bet the Titans beat the Steelers this week because the Titans have the personnel to stop the Blitzburgh defense. The Steelers cannot go after Tannehill because it would mean Smith and Firkser are gonna run free all day and eat them alive.
Not sure what defense the colts ran as well but in the early 2000s it was mostly colts and Steelers I think not too sure though so might depend on that for the two tight ends
Here we go Steelers here we go the Steelers are phenomenal this season show the rest of the NFL why we run the north and get that 7th Vince Lombardi Trophy and show the haters why Pittsburgh is the city of champions
Where is our Justin Herbert update video XD
The only thing that worries me is life after Big Ben
Same. Last season was a possible scenario of what life in Pittsburgh could be after he retires.
That's what I said when Terry retired. I thought, we're done for...
@@mariebock8016 And they were until they drafted Ben. No Superbowl wins in the period between the 2
Before the season started I went on playoff predictors and had Steelers undefeated until week 12
Spelled wrong you mean shitzburgh
Can u do wide9 defense Robert sal defense again
Can you clarify what you're looking for please?
“Oh same as usual, good.”
-Tom
1:25... Don't want to lay down, let me help you.... Heh, heh
a vid on the Tampa defence?
Definitely on the list. I want to do a video on Tom as well
I love the information. Why are you talking like we have trouble understanding English tho? Lol
The Jets would fire Adam Gase, and hire Alex Rollins for head coach but they're tanking for Lawrence. When Alex goes to the NFL he better keep making these youtube videos! Who else can explain the Steel curtain, Tampa 2, etc. For people like us that just see's a 3 - 4 , and doesn't pay attention to where the linebackers lineup. Heck who here started paying more attention to where defenders lineup because of these videos!!
Thanks brother! Glad we're both learning more
THANK YOU
Terrell is slowly becoming a key piece on d
TJ has the highest pressure rate
How about all of them 1st rounders on that line
Aye bruh we need a Herbert apology video pronto
Can they sign gilmore?
...And everyone said we were insane for letting Brown & Bell walk. They all said that we’d never win the division or make the playoffs afterwards. Obviously last year was a wash because 3/4 of the team was injured, but look how they’ve jelled without two primadonnas destroying the chemistry and wanting it to be all about them.
Do a video about Herbert
Steelers Football is back!
That looks like Kyle Van Noy in the thumbnail.
Do a video on Seahawks and Russel Wilson
That's 100% gonna happen this season
can you make an update video for Justin Herbert plz and thank you ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I'll wait until he's shown continued success for a while longer. So far I'm wrong, but RG3 and Baker won ROY, this stuff takes time
Fuck yeah thats what im talking about. Its all about that smash mouth football!
STEELERS ALL THE WAY BABY, GIVE THEM HELL!!! 31-27
35 24 titans ⚔️⚔️
@@alexsmith2014 they don't look like the Titans going to get past 7!! Henry ain't going to get 35rushing yards.
Lets go, im a die-hard steelers fan and day one sub, and im first!
Appreciate you for rocking with me Weston!
It's so annoying hearing other fan bases think they actually have a chance of winning when they play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just give up hope and bow down to the greatest thing to happen to the universe since it was created
That was a stupendous wave cadence
Dolphins do this too on 3rd downs.
As a Steelers fan, the only thing that really concerns me is Bush being out and our tackling. Other than that, we can’t be beat
We'll still find a way to lose to the patriots.
This is similar to how Pittsburgh destroyed Houston's Run & Shoot offense & basically ended that trend - Rod Woodson would like up over one of the slot receivers and pound Warren Moon into dust over the course of a game.
As a Steelers Fan, this feels good to hear.
Now if they could modernize the secondary they could have an all time great defense
Yeah, I agree. I'm worried about Steven Nelson
Still planning for Rams defense?? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That J Cole type beat though 😏
I've used it in every video, I got it from Yondo Beats on YT. You're right, it's called Morning Sun.
@@AlexRollinsNFL exquisite taste my man
Noti gang
Losing Mike Hilton was a huge hit to this team this year... Devin bush not being the same after injury has hurt! Stephon tuitt blowing his knee out and his brother getting killed in a hit and run has taken him out for the season.. Add that with a few other injuries here and there with normal roster turnover, coupled with a bad offense that keeps them on the field too long and you get a rough year! All that being said, they still lead the league in sacks for the 5th year in a row! Blitzburgh! Baby!
Honest Opinion:
If Mike Tomlin retired today, is he a first Ballot HOF?
Yes. Next question
