No. The run defense looks better because he has Myles Jack next to him instead of Shoebert who I believe us out of football or not starting. If you had two Devin Bush's standing there it would be just as bad. Also the inside Dline is better.
you know how to play linebacker forthe Steelers? that is amazing! when did you play?
who? I would want an Edmunds like signing. good for the Steelers. Hopefully nhis play proves me wrong and he gets alot more
You can't minimize what a LBer does. Not just pass defenses but solid coverage. And it isn't like the guy hasn't made run stops. He is what he is. But what he is, is arguably better than what Spillane is. Not even saying the guy can't be upgraded. Just saying he is playing better than last years atrocious play, more important the effort is better. Maybe he continues to improve maybe he doesn't. I think that is more an unknown at this point.
I’m not even sure he’s worth an Edmonds signing but we’ll see by the end of the year.
I don't need to play linebacker for the Steelers. I can watch film with more than a fan eye. There are 6 gaps and 6 guys in their box. I've watched every game on replay with an open mind on his play. He still refuses to attack his gap. Fans say the run defense is improved so everyone is better. No the play around him specifically Jack and the interior defensive line is better.
His play is no where near Edmunds last year. Not even close. Edmunds will get 7 per next year minimum after this season. Bush will be lucky if he isn't done.
I get what you are saying but like many here, who do you replace him with at this stage. He is better than he was last year and currently I don't see them resigning him in the off-season. If they do it will be a low dollar prove it type scenario.
A linebacker who doesn't take his gap is worthless. I'd live with ups and downs of Robinson. Rookie mistakes can be corrected. That **** cannot.
Problem with those unknowns is that coaches see them day in and day out. With Flores getting close up looks I have to believe he feels Robinson is a project who would not be an upgrade at this point. I have faith in that coach. Not so many others, but that coach definitely.
Jarvis was a different set of circumstances. He wasn't coming off an injury and he didn't have a well thought of head coach standing over him. (Flores)
This is where I get frustrated with your stuff. I was saying earlier in the year to give Bush a chance, granted. But I don't necessarily disagree with you now. However, it is always some motive or damn conspiracy. The staff and the owner are sitting around trying to lose football games to aggravate the fan base. Maybe it is as simple as the fact that they don't have anyone better.
I did not say they were trying to lose.When you move up in the first round for substantial capital you can put on blinders. And if we are going to pretend that Tomlin does not favor pedigree let's just choose to disagree. I'm not talking about some conspiracy. I'm saying he gives high draft picks too long a rope.
You used the term ulterior motive. To me that implies some sort of conspiracy. I don't think it is that at all. I just think they don't feel they have someone better. Robinson was a 7th for a reason, I would assume mostly due to his lack of LB experience. The pros will exploit that very quickly. This isn't preseason. I just don't see them having a better option. Now, they probably should have a better option, but that is a different discussion. But even with that, you can't address every position in the draft or FA. You gotta take a chance that at some positions the guys you have will improve.
