Theres not much to rebuild upon. The defense is still pretty solid with the exception of the secondary and some depth. With Troy were the best D in the game…without, well we all saw what happens. The trick is that we cant depend on Troy as much as we do. The Steelers desparately need to improve the secondary or its going to be another long year
