    Worilds was a DE in college and has never played ILB. Not a good idea to try to train him during the season.

        It's sad that, Spence would've been primed to fill this spot (even though he's probably not ideally the Buck), if not for his unfortunate injury.

        I went back to Kion's draft write-up, and he was considered a tough, team-oriented, blue-collar guy, lacking athletic ability. His college coach called him the toughest player he's ever coached.
        I wasn't hired for my disposition.

          I think Kion's probably holding down the fort for Williams or Spence to eventually take over. I was really excited about Spence since we drafted him andam even more excited about the potential for Williams now. If Spence didn't get hurt, I don't think Williams would have ever got a chance. But now that I've seen Williams this preseason, I can't believe how far he dropped in the draft. He's gonna be a stud.

            I noticed how well he was playing in the preseason and purposely went to the roster page when they cut to 53 players to see if he had made the team!

              This Foote injury could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

                I, too, was thinking of getting our best 4 backers out there regardless of position, but I was thinking about moving Jarvis inside with Timmons (a couple of big hitters who can also blitz from the interior) with Woodley and Worilds outside. I think Jarvis has a bit of Chad Brown in him...could possibly be equally effective inside or outside.
                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.

                    I don't think ILB is a good spot for a guy with spinal stenosis... Actually, a football field probably isn't, but the neck compression positions (ILB, FB) especially!
