This team needs a play maker on defense in the secondary!

I was listening to the Bumgals broadcast on radio. Commentators mentioned a couple of times the Steelers defenders were not even attempting to make a play on the balls, instead just trying to bat them down. This is just evidence of the league-low interception rate by DBs. We have no one besides Troy attacking the ball when it is in the air.
If teams don't have to fear an interception but only an incompletion, there is a lot less intimidation in the passing game. The odd thing is the Steelers have statistically one of the better pass defenses in the league. Still I think problems lurk below the surface.
