Shobert to be released

I predicted Trubisky...I must be butter, I'm on a roll

 

there goes another 112 tackles. we went from one jacksonville LB to the other. we seem like the browns with qb's for year's with changing LB'ers.

 

There goes another 112 tackles ten yards down the field .

 

i'm sure myles will make them all behind the LOS.

 

Myles who?? What Steeler are you talking about?? There's a separate NFL forum, here....

 

you don’t remember the days of losing our top players to free agency year after year?

 

Jack>Schobert

 

Schobert>Bush

 

you better go back and check their stats if you think that. both have been in the league for 6 years and schobert stats are much better.

That's messed up. He's doing his best.

 

In the Three Rivers stadium days sure. But in the Heinz Field/Kordell/Maddox days I don't recall us being big on free agency.

 

Jack is better in coverage

 

I think it is more a matter of this being Colbert's last six weeks as GM and he actually has cap room to work with for once.

 

Schobert was a hell of a player three years ago. The last two seasons, he has not been good at all.

 

again you better go back and look at the stats. joe scobert 30 passes defended, 10 interceptions. jack 15 passes defended, 3 interceptions. wrong again 6.

 

The Steelers disagree

 

253 tackles, 4 interceptions, 10 passes defended, 2.5 sacks, 8 tackles for loss. not as bad as many think. jack has 226 tackles, 1 interception, 5 passes defended, 1 sack, 9 tackles for loss. thats both guys the last two years and schobert had to change teams.

 

no not really, they just save some money and it's not that much. the numbers are right in front of you and them. bush isn't even in the same catagory as jack and schobert. every year the steelers have changed LB'ers.

 

I like Myles chances of succeeding in the Steelers defense more than Schobert did.

 

i would have liked both here.

 

Schoberts fate was driven by that ridiculous contract. And really he wasn't a shining star for that money. Myles Jack will have the same if not more tackles and should provide an upgrade hopefully.

Its Bush that needs to be gone as well but they will trot him out there, Hopefully they draft an ILB in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd round. So when the fashion plate struggles with mind madness we have a replacement.

 

He’s not going home with money in his pocket

 

Funny. I would think a Steelers fans would have actually watched the games and noticed just how badly Schobert played most of last season. I guess not.

 

Many of Schobert's tackles were far from the LoS. Some of it could have been a function of the interior line. But he seemed to have trouble shedding blocks at times and it appeared he was chasing the play much more than attacking. Bush being ass most of the season didn't help, either. Still, with the salary Joe was making, he was obviously going to be the odd man out once they signed Jack. He might be better off in a different situation. Nothing against him at all as I think he was a good team-mate and a good dude. Just didn't work out here.

 

Not at that price for Schobert though.
