have hired Teryl Austin as a senior defensive assistant coach.The team announced the move Friday James Conner Jersey , adding that Austin’s focus will be the secondary. Austin has coached in the NFL for the better part of two decades, including stops in Detroit and Cincinnati as defensive coordinator. Austin previously worked as a secondary coach for Seattle Artie Burns Jersey , Arizona and Baltimore.Pittsburgh finished a respectable 10th against the pass in 2018 but struggled to generate takeaways and couldn’t find any consistency at the spot opposite veteran Joe Haden. The Steelers finished with just eight interceptions, the fewest in the AFC.The 53-year-old Austin grew up in western Pennsylvania and played four seasons at defensive back for the University of Pittsburgh during the 1980s.The hiring is the latest in a series of staff adjustments made by Pittsburgh after finishing 9-6-1 and missing the playoffs. The team fired running backs coach James Saxon and outside linebackers coach Joey Porter last week. The Steelers kicked off their organized team activities on Tuesday and the day’s activities included a media session for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.Roethlisberger did a television interview on Monday that addressed the fracturing of his relationship with Antonio Brown and other topics related to last season.

So I lacked in leadership because that’s my job as the leader of this team is to get us to the playoffs.”As with all quarterbacks, wins and losses overshadow most other things for Roethlisberger. They offered no defense from this offseason’s drama Vince Williams Jersey , which makes it all the more important for him to find a way to land in a better spot in the standings this time around. |
