with so much talk the last year or two concerning drafting of players who fit a particular scheme (defensive tackle), why cant Jauron and his staff be more like this guy. Newly hired Steelers head coach recently discussed drafting players based on whether or not they fit a scheme.
The Steelers are unlikely to draft certain styles of players based on whether they continue to run the 3-4 defense or move toward a 4-3.
"The elite players defy scheme," Tomlin said. "Troy Polamalu's going to be an excellent safety, regardless of what defensive scheme he's in. Casey Hampton's going to be a dominant interior defensive lineman, regardless of what scheme he's in. So the elite players defy scheme. We're not going to get enamored with that. What we're going to do is we're going to continue to shape our package to do what our players do and do well. It'll be a constant evolution, just like the players are constantly evolving."
