NFL Football Players Draft Injuries Rookies Season SuperbowlPublished: December 10, 2009
Many in Steeler Nation have questioned exactly what is wrong with the 2009 Steelers. They are basically the same team as last year’s Super Bowl team, although injuries to Troy Polamalu and Aaron Smith have had a tremendous impact on their defense, both run and pass.
These injuries would explain some of the degradation in the defense, but not to the degree that we’ve seen.
The offense hasn’t had such injuries. The problems there seem to be very poor play calling and untimely mental mistakes.
On special teams, the kickoff, and to a lesser degree punt, coverage teams have been horrible, to say the least.
