Week 2 in FA is money week for the Steelers. Pick fits exactly with their modus operandi. Get the high-priced bidding out of the way and find value with the second tier players that might be ready to take a step up. Based on highlights, the guy seems to know how to wrap-up and tackle. He might not be the fastest to the play, but if he's there he will make the tackle. That's a big plus for the Steelers defense that struggles in this area.

Last time WE did that it sure was a horrible mistake.
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
You may or may not like the move but it seems he's better than any healthy ILB the Steelers have on the roster, including Williams. A step in the right direction from what I can see.

Agree. This was not a depth signing. This was a talent upgrade.
Also creates some flexibility going into the draft since they don't have to reach for ILB
Yep. No depth signing here. He will start opposite of VW
Gotta love this Jon Bostic shot on Teddy Bridgewater from back in their college days...

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.
Daaaayumm. I remember that play. Didn’t even realize this was the same guy. He was a monster at Florida.Gotta love this Jon Bostic shot on Teddy Bridgewater from back in their college days...
I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
I know, I know.Last time WE did that it sure was a horrible mistake.
But guys like Troy are few and far between. LOL. I knew someone was going to bust on me for that.
When the pitch is low, slow and over the plate.....gotta swing my friend.
