That is not exactly a sexy headline. But it shouldn’t surprise any level-headed fan in the least.
Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive coordinator Keith Butler made his first public comments to the media since being hired as the heir to Dick LeBeau. Dave Bryan has the details of almost everything Butler said, which you can check out here.

While Butler was tight-lipped about what changes could be brought to the 2015 unit, answering with a wryly grin to ask the New England Patriots, some of his answers may have hinted at what will – and won’t – change.
Of course, we’ll never know for sure until the regular season starts. The team isn’t going to tip their hand much if at all until the games count.
In the interest of speculation, we’ll try to read between the lines of his comments and at the least, give a couple general areas of interest to look out for come September.
We know the defense is not going to see a massive shift. He’s a 3-4 guy, like LeBeau. Played in it during his career with the Seattle Seahawks and spent 11 years under the zone blitz’s father. By his admission, we know he’ll have the same control over the defense that LeBeau was granted and though Butler was quick to point out he’ll always seek out the advice of Mike Tomlin, this is clearly Butler’s defense and no one elses.
