Steelers Plan To \'Simplify\' Defensive Game Plan 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Sep 21, 2018 1:18 pm

The Pittsburgh Steelers plan to simplify their defensive game plan after giving up 42 points to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2.

The Steelers are 0-1-1 heading into Monday night\'s game against the red-hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Defensive coordinator Keith Butler admitted to trying to \"do too much\" with the Kansas City game plan, leading to breakdowns in communication.

\"It\'s not an excuse, but I think simplifying the game plan, letting us line up and make plays, line up to what we see [will help],\" Joe Haden said. \"We have to do a lot of film study, study the receivers and see where they line up at. And since they throw with timing, we\'ve got to get a feel for the concepts.\"
