Mike Tomlin: "Make no mistake, those top three corners that I mentioned - Jalen Ramsey, Slay and Joey Porter Jr. - they're going to be on the field. I don't care what (personnel grouping) offenses come out in."

The Steelers put their faith in T.J. Watt to continue to play at a DPOY level into his mid 30s. Maybe more importantly: Watt is making a bet with the final years of his prime that GM Omar Khan & his new “aggressive” approach can get him a ring. nytimes.com/athletic/65118…

Mike Tomlin: "When you’ve got guys like Jalen Ramsey and (Darius) Slay and JPJ, we can matchup and play man-to-man versus anyone."

Do you agree with @FB_FilmAnalysis' picks for the most versatile players in the NFL?

T.J. Watt: "I think it's about getting back to being a really, really hard-nosed football team... "Teams need to know what's coming when they see the Pittsburgh Steelers defense."

Omar Khan on the "all in" narrative:

Patrick Queen on expectations for the NFL’s highest-paid defense: “It’s a lot of money on defense. The biggest thing is to go out there and prove it.” He acknowledges the Steelers D “sloped off” at the end of the season and “it’s supposed to be the other way.”

Patrick Queen on the Steelers’ busy offseason and the Minkah/Ramsey/Jonnu trade: “I definitely didn't expect it. I actually woke up and said, ‘Wow, they sent me.’ I thought I got traded for a second. It’s crazy.”

Haven’t felt this much hype about a football team in Latrobe since the 1984 Wildcats
