Remember when Adams was scapgoated just a few weeks ago by Pete for this mess?

Yeah, they're now worse.

I just.checked if there was a definition change since 35 years ago. There isn't.

https://footballadvantage.com/what-is-the-box-in-football/

"In the box" is the width of the OL including inline TEs and extends 3-5 yards from the LOS.

What definition are you using that counts DBs 10 yards deep and/or lined up across from slots and wides?
If your not counting people outside of the tackles then Your 5 would be my 7. I would consider a DE or 3-4 OLB to be in the box eventhough they line up outside the tackle.

The funny thing is, the defense is objectively bad. It's not a narrative, but reality.

That's why I provided.you the definition. We were talking past each other because of different perspectives.

On the last Stealer drive they did go mostly 7 but some 6 in the box under the technical definition. I did not see even one 8.

The 2nd drive was almost all 5 with a little 6. The 3rd drive was mostly 6 with some 5. I did not notice even one 7 until the 4th drive.

When it takes 3 possessions of getting gashed to slowly ease from a 5 to a 7 and never use 8? You're doing it wrong.

I did. Check my Did Geno Eat some Meat thread.
That's just funny AF

This "defense" gave up 145 yards in the first half. The Steelers are on pace to gain 300 yards ?

The offense can at least hold their own for the most part.

The defense IS the narrative.
