We are still celebrating the Pittsburgh Steelers thrilling 34-32 win over the New York Jets last week. Pittsburgh was far from perfect but good enough to win. This week, the Steelers have their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, and looking back at last week’s game, here are four things we want to see this week.
More Yahya Black
Last week, rookie defensive tackle Yahya Black only played 38 percent of the defensive snaps but Isaiahh Loudermilk played 48 percent of the snaps. This week, at the bare minimum, we want to see these numbers flipped with Black lining up inside with Keeanu Benton sliding outside. It could be a great move for both players.

How about some Roman Wilson?
With Seahawks slot cornerback Devon Witherspoon doubtful, there will be opportunities to take advantage of that matchup. We would love to see Wilson get a big bump from the 10 snaps Wilson saw last week.
T.J. Watt moving around the formation
In the offseaosn, we heard T.J. Watt say he was willing to change up his game including moving him around the formation to help spark the pass rush. Against the Jets, Watt lined up in his usualy left side on every snap but two.
Just a little bit of Kaleb Johnson
No one is asking for rookie running back Kaleb Johnson to take over the rushing duties but after how poorly Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell played, could it really be worse to give Johnson a few touches early to see what he’s got?
