If Minkah's contract would permit I'd cut him

I have defended Minkah alot and i feel the team is badly misusing him. When he first came over he was a ball hawk, then one year he was basically our best "LB" because our MLBs were terrible. . I feel like he made more plays today because he was closer to the line. The steelers need to let him use his instincts and be more pro-active vs reactive. We could pay anyone to play centerfield so im not sure why they would pay him then use him like any old scrub. People were bashing him for the one TD today and I was as well on first look, but the replay showed different. Henry was wide open in the flat. If Minkah went with Likely, Lamar would have dumped it to Henry which would have probably been a TD as well. Minkah covered the flat which left Likely open. Seems like someone else should have been over there one guy can not cover 2 guys / areas.
 
get someone else as a centerfielder so you can deploy an asset correctly

It’s not rocket surgery

Has he performed well when given other roles? Hell yeah he has.

He is likely NOT the problem

Maybe it’s a coach living in his fears that thinks one of his best defenders is necessary to be placed that far off the ball???
