The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports the Steelers plan to use CB Cortez Allen in the slot on nickel downs, and bring in William Gay to man the outside opposite Ike Taylor.
Per reporter Mark Kaboly, the Steelers believe Allen has the speed to cover receivers, and the size to cover tight ends. A 2011 fourth-rounder, Allen stands in at 6-foot-1, 196 pounds with 4.51 wheels. He's taking Keenan Lewis' spot in the starting lineup. Allen played 563 snaps last season, grading out positively in Pro Football Focus' ratings. May 22 - 1:33 PM
