    I'm thinking KC fans are a bit happy to see this. If any defense can stop that punk kid they have at QB it is (was) ours.

    Hate is a strong statement. I have been quite the critic of Dupree. If it took every player 4 years to finally turn the corner could you imagine that?

    Dupree has been a force the last 2 seasons and is a big part of this defense. A fire was lit by Butler it seems. Money helps as well. It doesn't hurt to have the best OLB in the NFL on the other side.

    Injuries happen unfortunately. I wish the best for Dupree and hope that possibly the injury is not that severe.

    Highsmith in his limited time has shown he can play the position. Guess we will find out Monday as a full time starter.

    And then in the AFCCG he will intercept a Mahomes pass in the endzone and run it all the way back for a TD. Only this time it will take him double the time due to age.

    Whatever happened to Cameron Wake...Always thought he was a better than average OLB...Worth a tryout, right?

    I was trying to think of older guys they could bring in, but if they can't play SP they probably won't consider it.

    I'm guessing they will just go with the guys they have.

    I’d give Clay Matthews or even Terrell Suggs a call. Having Adenyi and Elliot as backups in the playoffs just aren’t good enough. Both of those guys are veterans, have won Super Bowls and have playoff experience. I’d definitely would give them both strong consideration.

    I have faith in Highsmith I think he has a lot of upside, he isn't at a Dupree level. Ola also does a decent job.

    I remember Jayrone Elliot making a few plays in the 2019 pre-season, he has a shot at getting a helmet and showing something.

    Don't see the Steelers trying to grab anyone.

    Terrell Suggs in a Steelers uniform could you only imagine, I think the universe would stand still.

    Highsmith is a 3rd round pick, he can do it!

    Losing Bud Dupree is really bad for this defense. This will put a lot of stress on the secondary that already looks suspect.

    Thanks Harbaugh. Probably wouldn't have happened on Thanksgiving where we would have spanked your team into next season!

    Were they masked up and socially distanced though? Don't forget different pens must be used as well.;)

    There is a video online a little bit ago of James Harrison getting examined by Dr Bradley seeing if his leg is okay. I wonder if they made a call to Harrison that has to be what this is about. What else could it be??

    Harrison looks pretty good in that commercial where he chases a nerdy guy out of the house and tackles him on the front lawn. Maybe the Steelers will sign him, what could go wrong?(sarcasm alert)
