The Pittsburgh Steelers brought the boom with the selection of Penn State safety Marcus Allen in the fifth round. The former Penn State safety is a tough, hard hitting player and will bring a type of physicality that many thought the Steelers lacked in the secondary last season. Just how bad did the Steelers lack consistent tackling in the last two thirds of the field last season? Our very own Josh Carney provided an answer in his final missed tackles report (http://www.steelersdepot.com/2018/01/steelers-vs-jaguars-missed-tackles-report-2/) and its not pretty.
Ryan Shazier (26) and Sean Davis (24) led the team in missed tackles with 50 combined. Add in another eight tackles missed by former safety Mike Mitchell, and the three combined for 30.5 percent of the team’s total missed tackles. It was obvious heading into the offseason that the sloppy tackling had to change and the winds of change already began to blow Thursday night with the first-round selection of Terrell Edmunds. And with Allen, the Steelers are bringing in one of the best tacklers in Penn State’s history........
