Pretty happy with the overall play of the LB's & DB's so far. Vince Williams is making some rookie reads, but looks willing, and strong. The DL, however, is not doing their job consistently, and are hampering the rest of the Defense. Not enough push in pass rush to collapse a pocket & give the QB nowhere to escape the OLB rush, and not enough gap containment in run defense to let the ILB's make plays in the backfield. Too often we are seeing Timmons & Williams taking on an OG head on in the trash. And too often the QB simply has to step FORWARD toward the DL to avoid a sack from Wood or Jarvis Jones. McLendon & Hood are not holding up their end of the job & are holding the Steelers pass rush back. Troy is playing outstandingly. Clark is looking his age.
