I remember the name. dont remember any plays. hope he works out
Yes. Steadily horrendous in stopping the run.
The Steelers were last in the league in 2021 versus the run, when Wormley was getting 70% of the snaps. He's one of the worst run defenders I've ever seen, this side of Devin Bush. I look for continued improvement in 2023 with hopefully both of those clowns gone.

2021 was a train wreck for run defense. Vikings game still makes me sick. but Wormley was not the biggest issue. once again he was steady. he filled a role.
Yes it certainly was, and Wormley was one of THE biggest issues. Here's some more statistical proof for you:
2021, with Wormley playing 71% of the defensive snaps: 146.1 yards per game allowed (#32 of 32 NFL teams) and 5.0 YPC (#32)
2022, with Wormley playing 40% of the defensive snaps: 108.1 yards per game allowed (#9) and 4.2 YPC (#8)
2022, with Wormley not playing at all for four games: 83.2 yards per game allowed (prorated #3) and 3.9 YPC (prorated #4)
Steady indeed. Less Wormley = better run defense.

Hopefully with all those Watts on D the Steelers can light up the opposition O.
Just a depth piece. I don't think this changes the need to get a top DL in our first 3 or 4 picks. I still think our 1st 3 picks should be CB, OT, and DL (preferably a real NT to take on double teams). ILB, OLB, and WR are the next needs.

His name is Armon WattS, That is with an ”S”.
Nothing near our super-man TJ WATT.
I truly hope Armon can bring some rotational help. He is camp competition to see who can stick.
Salute the nation

PS
Thanks Coolie, I’d missed this ground breaking news.
I hope he can muster above the line play.

He actually had a decent to pretty year in 2021 with the Vikings. Hard to gauge what he was on the Bears - not in training camp with them at all, and the Bears are garbage - so we'll see. Looks like a good choice to spell the great guys we have when needed.
2021 was also bush's first year back after his injury.
I disagree. Big Worm was not a liability...
Watts not to like about this signing?
Watt to Watts.
I based my opinion on statistical evidence which backed up my eye test. What are you basing yours on?

Mine is mostly eye test, but when the worm wasn’t in, the yards were harder to come by.
I hope just the spelling of his last name helps in the WATT tradition……….
Armon Watts, I’m hoping is an upgrade from the Wormely LAB experiment.

“Watts” is Pittsburghese for “Watt”.
Harvin needs the competition.

He may be marginally better, but Jets fans are glad he's gone.
Surprising pick up because Corliss Waitman is back on the market.
