Well, I think the big thing first was schematically.

It needed a refreshing, and I think Patrick Graham will see what he can do there, but I think that's part of it.

Mike McDonald is a master schematic innovator, what he does with his blitzes.

I think there's two things that I look at that say, here's what the Steelers can utilize right now.

One is I think they need some help in the secondary.

They need someone at safety, I think, still.

I think Jalen Ramsey's best spot right now is actually in the slot.

I still have thought that the way he's aggressive, the way he tackles, his size, he's unique as a slot corner because of his size.

He's much bigger than Devin Witherspoon, for example, who is awesome with the Seahawks.

But he's a big bully.

And when he was in the slot early in the year, I thought we saw a lot of promising things before he had to bump to safety.

And they had to do it because that was out of necessity.

In order to get Brandon Echols on the field, which was their best configuration of five defensive backs, it required Jalen Ramsey to play free safety.

Jalen Ramsey can do a lot of things in the nickel, though, from his size, his physicality standpoint, his instincts that are really fun.

Because nowadays, nickel is basically a linebacker and a DB rolled into one.

And there's a lot of things that Jalen Ramsey can do there.

So they need, I think, a game changing slot corner and a safety that is versatile.

A guy with range, a guy with ball skills.

Now, whether that slot corner is going to be Ramsey or not, that's up to them.

This is a good class of slot corners.
