Rookie DT Alameda Ta'amu on the differences between the scheme he was in at the University of Washington and the 3-4 the Steelers use: "At UW, as a defensive lineman you want to shoot and get deep in your gaps; here you just want to stay with your man and play gap defense.
You get out of your gap, you mess up the whole defense. It's hard, but you've got to learn it."
