The Steelers will, as always, be very competitive in 2011. But there are always improvements that need to be made if a team wants to return to the Super Bowl for a second consecutive season.
For starters, the defense needs to start getting younger. Troy Polamalu and James Harrison are the cornerstones of this defense and both have been in the league for less than 10 years. Pittsburgh could use some youth in other areas of their defense, especially on the line of scrimmage, a place where more and more young players throughout the league have been making their presence felt over the past couple years.
A new wide receiver could be useful as well, specifically a taller one since all their current options are less than 6’ tall, other than Heath Miller at the tight end position.
Other than that, the only real concern is that the Steelers keep their front five healthy on the offensive end. They had to shift around players a lot during the season and rarely had a true sense of togetherness. Though they still did well, as shown by their Super Bowl appearance, a more consistent front line could really aid in getting this team back to the top.
