Defense needs to live up to their hype

Post by rooneytunes » Fri Dec 09, 2022 5:01 pm

It's time for a dominate game from them. 5 sacks 4 turnovers type game. Maybe even a score themselves

I'm tired of them giving momentum away at points in the game.

That's won't happen until TJ is nearing 100% and I'm not sure that he'll be near that the rest of this season.

Hope his health is improving though, because Highsmith has really played well. If TJ plays like he can, our defense will be dominant and Huntley just might die..

I have good news - the Steelers Defense has done very much that in their last 4 meetings with the Ravens.

Week 9 2020: 4 sacks, 4 turnovers, 1 Defensive TD
Week 12 2020: 3 sacks, 2 turnovers, 1 Defensive TD

Week 13 2021: 7 sacks, 1 turnover
Week 18 2021: 3 sacks, 3 turnovers


The Steelers have won 4 straight vs Baltimore. Yes, every game has been excruciatingly close, but you can't really blame the defense for that.

Jibbs defenses have been paper tigers from the get go.

Just so I know where we stand…

We’re not blaming the offense for the defenses failures anymore?

I’m assuming not for now. The offense has actually put together long drives (now they need TDs not FGs) the defense has gotten their rest but they still just about shit the bed getting gashed by the Falcons. I’d love to see a complete game in all three phases before this season is over.
