I'm not one of those people who believe that everything about a defense can be measured in sacks.

But I'm also not about to downplay, much less dismiss their importance. Good morning to you. Good.

Monday morning. I'm Dan Kovachievich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Steelers,

presented by the Fan Duels Sportsbook. It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into hockey and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates in the same place

that you found this. Continuing my 10-part preview leading into training camp, now only Aaron

Rogers days away from the official reporting date to St. Vincent College.

I'm counting down from 10 to 1 on what I see is the most compelling questions or issues

that I'll be looking at out in La Trobe.

Last week, of course, brought the first five of those, and for anybody who might have missed

them, I'll count those down rapidly here.

Number 10 was Roman Wilson's place in all of this.

Number nine is the defensive line, aside from Cam Hayward.

Number eight was the special teams maybe getting a jolt from Caden Weechin as an actual returner.

Number seven was the running backs.

Who's number one between Jalen Warren and Rico Dowdell?

Number six was who, if anyone, is going to actually tackle the football this year

with a focus on the inside linebackers, Patrick Queen and Peyton Wilson. Today, I'm going

at number five, and that would be the new look, I presume, for the edge rushers and what that could

mean. Well, let's start by setting the stage based on where we left things off in 2025.

The Steelers had 48 sacks, and that was the sixth most in the NFL.

It was, however, 20 fewer than the league-leading Broncos had.
