    Steelers may use more 4-3 looks to improve run defense in 2018

    The Steelers are not happy with the way their defense played down the stretch in 2017. Here’s one way they may look to address it in 2018.

    By 58Steel and cliff harris is still a punk! Jun 4, 2018

    The mandate this offseason has been made clear. Sean Davis said the defense can’t be “out-physicaled.” T.J. Watt called the run defense “unacceptable.” Art Rooney II said they were “soft.”

    Although they finished the 2017 season ranked 10th in rushing yards allowed, the Steelers were 28th in yards per carry. What truly is concerning is how the run defense performed over the last six games (including the playoff loss to Jacksonville), after losing Ryan Shazier to injury. The 133.5 yards per game allowed during that stretch would have the Steelers ranked 31st in the NFL, while their 5.1 yards per carry would rank dead last.
