Minkah was supposed to be a do-it-all DB but there has to come a time when the staff finds your lone role. Miami used him at every position on defense and it started to take a toll when the rest of the defense wasn't matching his skillset.He was suppose to be a Swiss Army knife and be able to play multiple positions not just one(why he was selected with a top 15 pick). Pitts defense has been killing it because they have a great pass rush. They are one of the worst teams vs tight ends and a lot receivers which is a reflection in the FS/slot corner position. When minkah cried to mommy and complained about playing multiple positions on defense it showed he wasn’t worth the investment.
Pittsburgh recognized that his skillset was better used in the back-end (they have used him 80% of the time at deep safety as opposed to Miami using him 22%) and he has single-handedly transformed their defense and is one of the best Safeties in the league. The Steelers have a top 5 pass D as well
