Great rep here by Witherspoon to shuffle laterally and maintain contain, close space to the LOS, and knife inside, leaving his feet to make a physical tackle behind the LOS. Excited to see his progression year 2 in this defense‼️
Joey Porter Jr. plays the upfield shoulder as well as an CB in this years class.
Off-hand jam➡️cut off upfield shoulder to protect against fade➡️close chest to chest to prevent back shoulder➡️turn into receiver to locate the football➡️extend off-arm for PBU.
Textbook‼️✅
Joey Porter Jr.'s trigger when defending screen game is phenomenal.
Identify screen➡️trigger downhill➡️attack the blockers outside half➡️knife inside to slip the block➡️come to balance➡️snap hips through on contact➡️TFL.
Gotta love physical CB play‼️✅
Teryl Austin brings the Steelers defense back into the top 10 in points allowed, produces a league leading unit in interceptions, all while missing the units best player for significant time.
I have a tough time seeing why the team would make a change at DC‼️✅
I was a massive fan of Ahkello Witherspoon’s game coming out of Colorado. Check out my latest piece reviewing the tape from his first two stats in Pittsburgh!
Minkah Fitzpatrick’s 14 tackle performance this past weekend set a new career high, and is an outlier even in the modern era. Check out my latest film breakdown of the safety tandem’s performance in Week 15!
Nothing's better than watching Minkah Fitzpatrick as the Robber/Lurk defender just destroy crossing routes. The read, anticipation, angle, and finish. Big third down breakup here.
Best safety in the league. #Steelers
