When you're giving up a kick return for a touchdown every week, sitting still and hoping everything will get better isn't really an option.So for the second consecutive week, the Steelers are shuffling the last couple of spots on the roster in an attempt to improve their coverage teams. Linebacker Donovan Woods, the guy the Steelers added last week to try to fix the problem, was cut along with cornerback Keiwan Ratliff. In their place the Steelers signed ex-Raven defensive back Corey Ivy and well-traveled linebacker Rocky Boiman. Both have plenty of experience on special teams, which is the only place they will be expected to play in the short-term.
Pittsburgh's kick coverage amazingly has gotten worse and worse the more the coaching staff has tried to fix the problem. Last week Football Outsiders mentioned that Pittsburgh was getting close to the record for the worst kick coverage unit since 1994 -- the first year FO has the play-by-play data they need for their extensive stats. This week, Pittsburgh has passed the 1995 Bills. The Steelers are so bad that the difference between them and the 31st kick coverage team (the Lions) is the same as the difference from the Lions to the ninth-best unit in the league.
While Pittsburgh keeps trying out new coverage specialists, it's worth asking why they haven't tried out some kickoff specialists. Jeff Reed is last in the league in average kickoff distance (according to Football Outsiders) and what his kickoffs lack for in distance they compliment with poor hang time. Signing an inaccurate kicker with a cannon of a leg would do more than any one coverage specialist.
