Steelers' Defense, T.J. Watt, Patrick Queen, Ready to Set Team Sack Record? | Young Defense Ready?

Спорт

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has both kept top-tier talent and added important pieces this season. Is this the year the team breaks their all-time sack record? Chris Carter thinks that not only the edge rushers, but also the other pieces on defense, but also the pressure that can come from the new offense that puts up points. Could the key be more about a balanced team that pushes offenses to score more?
Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including whether Payton Wilson will start at linebacker later in the season, and if Ryan Watts will be good enough to help the secondary this year.

    I would definitely start ERob v Derrick Henry & the Ravens, but it’s a short week after both games, I’d rest ERob and start Payton Wilson v Browns & Chiefs. Steelers need to practice Load Management in December.

    Also when talking about the Steelers offense scoring more points to give their defense more opportunities for sacks another important factor for the offense would be winning the time of possession to give the defense as much rest as possible.

    Great topics from your audience. Ryan Watt seems like an attempt at a Kyle Hamilton clone. Two inches shorter and 15lbs lighter but similar athletics and explosiveness. Really like the Steelers 2024 defense on paper. Your takes sum it up well Chris, put me down for a 60 sack prediction.

    Yeah it's a tuff back half of the schedule,but theses other teams have to play each other as well and Injuries can play a big part so I'm not so scared of the back half of the season that said it going to be the best football from Pittsburgh in years exciting for sure !

    ERob was really good, but Wilson is a stud and a human tackling machine. It will be obvious to anybody with half of a brain, that kid will be a superstar. Tomlin will be ERobs buddy as usual, but Wilsons ability will force them to play him. The other guy is Nick Herbig. He needs to start or at least get 50 percent of the snaps.

    Secondary will be best in 25 years Minkah can get back to being a rover and making splash Trice and Rush gonna be good Beanie will suprise everyone make roster and be starter by midseason DJ is super fast and Elliot’s gonna allow Minkah to do his thing then Cam Sutton can play where he’s needed! Then Queen and Wilson both run 4.4 have sideline to sideline speed been missing since Shazier! Need to start rookies on oline immediately and rotate all our depth from start so starters are healthy and fresh for tough second half in my 54 years as a fan this is most talented depth ever! I have WVU season passes and Zach is another pouncey fast get off great hands gets under guys pads and will push his guy back 5-10 yards like pouncey dis Beanie isn’t tall but is long from waist up and can jump was handsy but got much better on it in second half of season gets turned around facing qb makes pbus and doesn’t get PI calls he’s gonna suprise us very coachable Need offense to have some nice 8 minute drives and think they will I think defense will avg 13-17 points a game lead league in takeaways and sacks! I think both rbs have career years Nahjee gets his 5 yrd avg 1400 rushing yards JWar gets 1100 plus 400-500 receiving don’t go trade for 30 mill receiver several of our guys will step up for #2 guy spend that money to ext Cam. Resign both backs for 3 years and also Pat F then ad what Patterson does get Connor and Washington more targets Gonna need that 100 mill next year to sign one of Qbs and hopefully Gp is number #1 guy so that’s gonna be a big bag I feel Russ is super focused rejuvinated wants 1 or 2 more rings and Fields has great attitude to learn from Russ get him into.some red zone packages I think team is forming brotherhood and both team and coach are excited confident and feel sense of urgency that Art Rooney has laid down love Art smith as OC and really love Azzani as Wr coach This is a rebuild guys are all in and gonna bring it may need to break our rule if Russ brings it ext him for 30 mill for 2 years and fields will be our future ext him 15 mill per year for two years in third yr he gets his bag and become our starters Russ can retire with - 1 or 2 rings he will be happy and Justin will learn all he needs to reading off defenses and receivers and ball security will have cap space to pull this off and have our next dynasty Justin needs too look at Jordan’s love learning from Arod Steve young from Montana Arod learning from Farve and etc! To me this is our Destiny Let me know if you all see it the way I do! And it’s important to pay Nahjee on ext now cause he’s gonna have great year so price way up! One of most important things I forgot is to bring some vets for oline into Latrobe that’s position group that takes longest to Jell Bring in In the great ones Faneca Ramon Foster Dicastro StArk’s Big Al these guys were great at pulling guards and running trap blocks also Gilly and Bring in Big Ben and Hines or Santonio and the Bus time to got it all now

    It's wild how for decades sacks were the end-all-be-all of NFL defensive dominance. Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Lawerence Taylor, all praised for them. Even recent stars like Terrell Suggs, Von Miller, etc. Now when the Steelers are the pinnacle of pass rushing in the NFL over the past several years, sacks don't matter!
