LeBeau Talks About Up-Temp Offenses
When Dick LeBeau talks defense, people listen. This season he's preparing Steelers defense for read-option, up-tempo games (Say: "Chip Kelly').
"You're going to see these up-tempo offenses more and more across the league, " said LeBeau. "You need to practice that, because the up-tempo is another tool offenses have now to pressure defenses," added LeBeau.
Steelers are confident in LeBeau considering there's nothing he hasn't seen in many decades of coaching.
