Steelers Quietly Became the Team to Beat After the 2018 NFL Draft

I understand your concern about Bostic's health however I think you are going to be surprised with what you see on the field:

After signing with the Colts in 2017, Bostic started in 14 games for Indianapolis, recording 97 tackles with a sack and a fumble recovery. He sprained his knee against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 14, and was then placed on injured reserve for the second straight year.

“Before that, I haven’t missed a game since my ninth grade year,” Bostic said of his injury history. “I missed no games in college, then obviously I broke my foot, and then I got [my knee] rolled up on last year. I would’ve missed one game and came back, but I really think all that stuff is behind me.”

Two of Bostic’s primary responsibilities with the Steelers would be calling the defensive plays and playing in coverage, both of which he says he’s comfortable with.

“I was a three-down player there,” he said about last season in Indianapolis. “I never came off the field. I did call all of the plays. I covered as well. A lot of people don’t really know I can do that much, but that is something I definitely can do. I just really haven’t had a chance to show that off as well.”

Having played with so many teams has given him experience in different defensive alignments, which Bostic says plays into his strengths.

Let's not forget just letting Mitchell go improves this defense. Also we are moving to a whole new style of defense with more dime which means less LB's. This draft really showed that just with the picks of Edmunds and Allen.

Also to all the people who keep saying how much we have to improve well I have to say this. Considering we were one bad call away from beating the Cheats and only 3 points away from the Jagoffs I would dare say as bad as this defense was we were still right there and now we improved the D were should be considered one of the top teams. jmo

I believe the Steelers are definitely one of the top teams too, but not "the team to beat" like the article said.

I can agree with that, I feel like there is trouble in Cheatland with Marsha/Bill/Kraft and I am not a believer in the Jagoffs but they did beat us twice. I also feel like the Texans and Raiders are gonna be good as well. I will settle for us being a good team and not the team to beat as we play better when we aren't the favorite.

Am I the only one who thinks the Raiders will be a disaster this year?

I do not feel like that. Carr is a year removed from injury and they added some vet help for him and I always like Gruden as a coach.

I do not think it will happen at the beginning of the season but I do believe that their season may become one by mid season for certain.

I do like Gruden as a coach but those characters inside that lockeroom combined with his own charismatic nature definitley equates to some volatile meltdowns within the team for certain.
