Steelers Defense in 2016

Anyone.

Solid? Where do you get solid from? Solid like how fans would say Kordell was solid?

Yes solid. He's a great run defender and is good in coverage, solid.

The coaching staff seem to agree.

It all starts in the trenches and with an improved defensive line it will arguably upgrade the entire defense.

Yes, brother. Yes!!! The game of football is won (& lost) in the trenches.

Re: Jarvis Jones

I fully expect him to have a breakout/contract year: 8 sacks, 15 pressures, 2 forced fumbles, and 48 tackles (5 for a loss). Then, he will go elsewhere. I'm fine with "only" one good season from him, since it would help the Steelers win a championship.

I wouldn't call him a great run defender.

Yet his main goal is to sack and get pressures. On a scale from 1 to 10 he is a 1 in that category.

The coaching also thought Kordell should be the starting QB for 5+ seasons.

But as always I hope for the best.

In the first half against the Saints.....The pass rush was very good,but the secondary struggle.....

I hate preseason,it can give you false hope,players will look good in preseason but come regular season they are up against the first string team not the 3rd and 4th,I am a wait and see guy 3 games in will tell us what we really have,,,,
