    People should just start to assume this

    It would save a lot of confusion

    "(Yahya) Black can be one of the best noses in the game if he just keeps on doing what he's been doing, and is working his butt off," Peko said. "Really good on his technique and his details. I just want to sharpen him up and get him really going, and try to bring out the best in him."

    - Steelers defensive line coach Domata Peko

    Ok one positive vote from someone knowledgeable

    And one negative vote from someone not so knowledgeable

    You’re sleeping on Rubio. Watch the tape. I hope they both do well. We need it.

    Look around

    I stated long ago they needed to find a roster spot for him

    But I won’t know if I was right until he takes a snap or two in the NFL

    I don't know if he really is capable of being a nose, but perhaps a DT like Heyward.

    Oddly enough, Rubio is the only defensive lineman the Steelers list as an end on their roster. They have Black as a DL and the rest as DT.

    Coaches talk up their players, and the old man laps it up. That's funny stuff.

    I am very pleased to have both in the rotation. I think black is a better pass rusher vs Rubio against the run.
