Work continues on stopping the run

Spillane and Edmunds both preached the importance of gang tackling, of everyone getting to the ball, being there to help each other out.

“It’s all about gang tackling, everybody running to the ball, wrapping up,” said Edmunds. “We knew that about Chubb. We know that he is a dynamic back. We had to try our best to limit him. He got a lot of yards after contact. We just have to gang tackle everybody right to the ball.”

After ranking last in the NFL against the run in 2021, a big focus this offseason was stopping the run. Edmunds said that focus won’t stop.

“It’s everybody just flying to the ball,” said Edmunds. “Missed tackles happen during the game, but you have to have your other friends, other teammates right there having your back on the field. We have to all go out there and make plays together.”

While the loss to the Browns leaves the Steelers at 1-2, the one thing to keep in mind is there are still 14 games to play, and a lot can happen.

“We have a lot of games left to play,” said Edmunds. “A lot of get better to do. That is our whole mindset. We are watching film to see what we can do to get better and go week to week and take those steps in the right direction.”
