The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is not in a good way. They gave up 45 points in their playoff loss back in January and now just got done giving up 51 to the Packers in a preseason game. Something is seriously off with that unit. Part of it is their continued lack of honed leadership in the middle. People don’t understand how big the loss of Ryan Shazier was. He covered up a lot of the rougher areas. Now he’s gone. They have nobody even close to replacing him. That may have to wait until 2019. Anfernee Jennings would be the safest pick. He’s tough, disciplined and athletic. Plus he comes from Alabama, the linebacker factory of college football.
