    I want my best pass-rushers attacking the QB from his blind side. A right handed QB can see the pass rusher coming at him off right tackle and can try to get out of the way...he can't see the pass rusher coming at him off left tackle.
    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.

      New role? He was playing DE and now he is playing...DE?

      He will play a larger leadership role; let's not forget he was a 2-year captain at OSU. Hood was a bust, but this guy seems like the real deal.

        Why do we always seem to mess with what's working?

        Adams and Foster dominated on the right 2 years ago, so we move them left. Gilbert looked solid on the left, and then not so solid on the right. Next Heyward dominates on the left and we move him right. Worilds always has looked strong on the left, but we tried so many times to force him to the right without much success.

        Maybe it works out, but you never know. Seems like the Steelers sometimes over think things.

        I do think Heyward might be our most dominant defender and I'd actually like to see us move him around to create advantages as opposed to just sticking him on the right. While it's nice having your best pass rushers coming from a QB's blind side, it's just as good having a strong pass rush coming toward him making him feel the pressure to get rid of the ball which can also lead to mistakes.

          This explanation makes the most amount of sense to me.
          Trolls are people too.
