2 years. nice run stuffer.

 

Interesting move. It's a good one, I'm just wondering how they want to use him and how the scheme is going to be for the new DC.

 

Nose tackle

 

Still waiting for us to sign someone like " Big Snack"

 

Good rotational piece for Heyward. I mean, he has to decline some year right?

 

We have to be able to stop the run, teams have run roughshod over the Steelers in recent years.
Here is hoping YA and Benton can pick up their game. It appears Steelers think so too with this signing.

 

I am not seeing this as for Heyward maybe Benton but this new signing has NT written all over it.

 

SD notes he's played mostly 3 tech in his career.

 

Yes I saw that.

 

This is how I think black will turn out to be. Rotational, and can do 3 downs if needed.

However I have no idea what our scheme will be.

 

I promoted this about 5 years ago and got banged on the head with shovels by people telling me nose tackles aren’t used anymore

 

Good depth but give me that massive 340 lb immovable object in the middle.

 

Must be able to stop the run, Wilson and Queen are not able to stop runners,
hopefully the Steelers will be able to find a NT that would be able to eat up blockers?

 

In watching his highlights one thing jumps out early that could be a plus for him as a Steeler is that playing alongside Donald he made good use of Donald getting dbl teamed and got home with pressure/sacks/tackles. We have seen the rest of the defense struggle when teams game plan to take Watt out of the equation and the can't take advantage of that focus.
