YoloinOhio Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Says Andy Benoit... https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/20/pittsburgh-steelers-best-defense-afc The rumor was Whaley wanted to interview Keith Butler before hiring McD but Pegs wanted to move forward. Certainly not unhappy with McD myself, but just found it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 in the NFL these days you can get a 5-game string of horribly putrid opponent to cherry pick great stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 The Steelers know their true test comes the week they play NE. They have re-designed their defense to beat Brady, after years of being bent over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Says Andy Benoit... https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/20/pittsburgh-steelers-best-defense-afc The rumor was Whaley wanted to interview Keith Butler before hiring McD but Pegs wanted to move forward. Certainly not unhappy with McD myself, but just found it interesting. The Steelers D is decent but I wish people used perspective. They beat a young growing Browns team and Vikings team missing their QB. Beat some true competition and sure I will say they are that good, but the Steelers are one of those teams people want to anoint as great the moment they have any success.

SaviorPeterman Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think Denver is the best defense in the entire NFL but we'll find out this Sunday just how good they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The steelers have played the browns and the Vikings backup QB at home Exactly. We'll see how they do once they face better comp.......... Though we have played the Jets and Panthers. We'll see how we fare against better comp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not sure what this thread means. Should have hired Butler instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Not sure what this thread means. Should have hired Butler instead?no it was just an anecdote that I added, about Whaley wanting to interview Butler. He wasn't interviewed anywhere that I know of. Btw I'm not a Whaley fan and have no agenda. I do think the Steelers have finally built a SB- quality D to go with their Offense. That's really what it's about - all the great Ds in the AFC. And while we alll talk about the others, this is the one Benoit (film nut) thinks is the best. Edited September 20, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 What about Houston?they were #1 last year but after giving up 27 (not sure of that was all on the D or not) vs the Douggernaut week 1 and no test vs the crap Cincy offense week 2 we will see what they are made of this week vs the Brady Bunch.

TheElectricCompany Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Denver defense has been elite for a few years, don't be so quick to knock them off the pedestal. Denver - 1A, Seattle - 1B in the league. Then everyone else. Edited September 20, 2017 by TheElectricCompany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
