Sure looks like a passing league to me.
    Numbers in a vacuum mean absolutely nothing. How do those numbers compare to historical data?

    Yeah, that confused me as well. You typically want your more stout OLB on the left vs. the offensive strong side. You need a guy who can set the edge against a mauling RT and often times a TE as well. You want your speed rusher on the right side to attack the QB from his blind side.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    AGAIN!!...This is with the idea of having Bernadrick McKinney inside. Sometimes you can under-compensate when you are over-compensated elsewhere.

    ....and also to utilize the speed of Shazier in the pass rush. He will do better versus the leagues RT than he will versus the leagues LT. But if you guys want to get hung up on what will happen to him versus the run go ahead. No matter who has been there on that side the past 10 years, they all have struggled versus the run.

    We have struggled against the run for 10 years?

    I *think* he said the ROLB struggled against the run... I'll give him Haggans... and Worilds... But, Deebo's been there... can't give him that one.

    No nobody said that. But whoever has played LOLB has had issues stopping the run for at least the past 10 years.

    Woodley did a pretty good job against the run.

    You do not know that. They will pick the best player available regardless of need when they draft but since they wont bring back Jason Worilds there could be a possibility that a LB could be drafted.
