    JJ is the only exception but has yet to prove it.

    Based on he actually has gotten sacks unlike "Mr. One Sack" opposite him. Worilds has never had an issue pressuring the QB.

    Worilds has twice as many sacks as a rookie compared to Jarvis. He had two!
    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.

    Youre right....never had an issue at getting the straight line, unblocked sack. Took him 4 years to start winning matchups on the field, literally...last year was the first time I saw him do anything but run in a straight line. He actually was able to show some pass rush moves and disengage blockers....not sure that makes him a "true OLB".

    I cant wait til his bum ass is off the roster. Hes a one year rental because of lack of other options right now. I am much more optimisitc about Jones finishing the year in a must win game with a sack and 9 tackles

    Jones had 30 tackles, 1 sack, 4 passes defended, in 14 games as a rookie... Worilds had 12 tackles, 2 sacks, 0 passes def, and played in 14 games.

    7 sacks in the final 8 games, ok thats not bad.....but lets pump the brakes on "hes never had a problem" because he had a major problem until the second half of his 4th year. Look back at his 5 sacks in 2012....every single one is unblocked otherwise he was a non factor. Some say "a sack is a sack", but its not.

    Not to pile on, but even of his sacks this year... it wasn't like he was straight whooping folks. IIRC, most came as a result of disguise/confusion.
