Defense looking to improve

Mike Prisuta explains that the theme from the Steelers locker room, at least on the defensive side, is that there has got to be some improvements made after the poor showing against Philadelphia. Now, obviously in preseason the only noteworthy performances are the ones at the opposite ends of the spectrum but as silly as it would be to assume the team is Super Bowl bound based on a really good performance it would be equally silly to throw the season in the dumpster before it even officially begins based on a loss. That being said, the defense particularly looked like crap on Thursday night and they certainly can’t let that happen again, preseason or not.
