    I didnt think Sawyer played that good, he made a play or two but he didnt look fast and really not that strong. The reason he doesnt play ILB is because he doesnt have the change of direction or agility needed for the position. The problem with stopping the run is not a linebacker issue its our D-line, they cant keep the linebackers clean. Everyone wants to knock Queen but he was flying sideline to sideline and did a good job pressuring the QB up the middle.

    If they could accurately measure football smarts, instinct, and IQ, Sawyer would measure at the top of the list of athletes. If they could measure stamina , he would rate the same. He makes impact plays. Forced fumbles, sacks, tackles for losses and interceptions. A football player. He might not be a 4.6 40 yard dash guy, but he is mentally faster than most players. There are two types of speed. Metal processing speed and timed movement. Just a rookie, he will rapidly improve.

    i sort of agree. sawyer will get better. he is a good football player. i do agree about the D-Line's failures so far about keeping these LB'ers clean. in those videos wilson has 600+ lbs of offensive linemen on him. you have to watch from the beginning of the play where the d-linemen doesn't get enough of the guard and allows his release right out to wilson and sometimes queen. queen and wilson are getting a bad rap over this i think. they played pretty well i thought. there isn't a LB in the league that can fight off two huge linemen having him locked up in a double team that was allowed to get to him. :cool:

    I too look for the Steelers to move on from Highsmith if a trading partner
    can be found. Just can't stay healthy. May not take place this season but in offseason/draft.

    You may have missed it, but Highsmith has a high ankle spray and may miss multiple weeks. That is why Jack is being discussed as a starter.

    Hmm.... I have been in some important people's offices, and not one of them has a desk facing inwards. Also with my " detective skills " I notice a picture that is not his child and features a much slimmer and younger Tomlin with a full head of hair.

    Do not blow up this photo as it might reveal other things, such as a phone #

    No -- I am not a CIA guy. I am an IT specialist focusing on Cyber security that worked for a fortune 500 company . The Steelers are behind other NFL teams in this department

    I give 20-1 against that photo because it is not his office.

    Show me proof in the draft war room or of any photo using a smart device or pc. That will prove something.

    Exactly what does a laptop in a war room prove? That he is the one running draft? (because he isn't, it isn't his job).
