Whoever the quarterback ends up being for the Steelers next season, the offensive line, the wide receivers, and the running backs all need to be better to make things easier on the QB.

The Steelers have seen their blitz percentages decrease each of the last few years, and coincidentally the Steelers sack numbers have also decreased.
