I'm not sure we have ever played a snap Dime defense since we drafted Luke. Doing so means taking one of Luke or TD off the field which is just something we literally never do and in the situation where one of them is out Shaq takes their place. It has always been 4-3 base and 4-2-5 nickel and that's it with the possible exception of some goal line stuff.

According to Jaworski we haven't played a bit of Dime defense this season. Ummm, Jaws, I'm not sure we have 6 actual DBs on the roster most games.

I am not sure we have seen a situation where we needed a dime defense on the field. Not many teams run dime defense period. This is a useless statistic. Great work Jaws.

We ran a 3 safety look but it was a joker style defense against the skins and giants. He probably isn't accounting for that though.

    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it. 
    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
