The Austin plan is for the 4 studs at defensive line to get pressure if given adequate coverage.  The big hole in Austin's plan is the failure at backer to cover TE and post routes.  Then there are inexplicable down the middle plays.   The Defense gives up too many big plays.  

I just think the Personnel lacks talent outside of defense line.

My biggest problem with Austin is his lack of adjustments. The Steelers were stacking the line and playing 5 wide at receiver, looking to get quick passes to neutralize our pass rush. It worked and they were eating us up. Austin failed to make any kind of adjustment to counter this. 

The lack of pass rush on Sunday was due to scheming by Pitt, not a lack of talent on the offensive line. Its hard to pass rush when the ball is out of the QBs hand in less than 3 seconds.
