Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers made a switch at defensive coordinator with Teryl Austin. But how did he do? The defense finished in the NFL's top ten despite changes to how they relied on different groups. Studies showed the Steelers significantly increased their usage of man coverage in 2022 vs how much they relied upon zone coverage under Keith Butler. But how did that help the Steelers' the numbers show for players like Minkah Fitzpatrick, Cameron Sutton, Levi Wallace and more. Also, final grades for Fitzpatrick, Terrell Edmunds and Damontae Kazee for the Steelers' safeties and signs that Austin's plan might make Mike Tomlin's defense a premiere unit if T.J. Watt's healthy and the Steelers make a couple right moves in the NFL Draft and in free agency.
