Darius Slay critica la defensa de los Steelers por considerarla un esquema anticuado

El ex esquinero de los Pittsburgh Steelers, Darius Slay, expresó su fuerte frustración con el enfoque defensivo del equipo durante la temporada 2025. En su podcast, Slay describió las tácticas de cobertura exterior como inusuales e ineficaces para los esquineros.

Slay apareció el jueves en su podcast Press Coverage, donde afirmó que el esquema no se alineaba con lo que el ex coordinador defensivo Teryl Austin enseñaba en Detroit. Señaló que se indicaba a los jugadores que mantuvieran una cobertura exterior en todas las jugadas, particularmente en la zona roja, lo que dejaba a los esquineros persiguiendo a los receptores en los pases hacia el interior. Slay añadió que la estrategia dependía de que los linieros defensivos desviaran los pases, una habilidad en la que prefería no confiar durante los partidos.
