Pittsburgh Steelers: Getting a new defense, schemes and players

Secondary

Cleveland made some plays, granite, and nobody is confusing Tyrod with Tom what’s his name, but the secondary was in lockdown mode all day.

Mighty Mike Hilton (like mighty mouse, small in stature but always comes to save the day) was covering and smacking people around like they owed him money. Artie Burns is growing into a very good player and held down his side as if he is ready (dare I say) to put players in the “Burns unit.” Joe Haden has got to stay healthy because on a lot of plays he showed his pro bowl status which solidifies the secondary. But the most important move on the defensive side of the ball, was switching Sean Davis to free safety.

The dude was all over the field ballin out in coverage, run support and squawking at his teammates where to be on defense. Looks as though he can see the field better from the position while invoking his cornerback and strong safety skills to handle his spot respectfully.

Morgan Burnett and Terrell Edmunds owned the “box” and was thumping players with a lot of them very slow to get to their feet. Cleveland players heads were on a swivel because they didn’t know which one of the safeties was bringing the pain. Burnett stayed in the backfield and Edmunds was covering sideline to sideline.
