LB Bud Dupree Files Grievance

[SteelerFan448]

Mmmkay, so his first three years when he was presumably dropping back more he had a grand total of 1 INT according to Cope's numbers.
Which does match Hall of Famer Joe Greene's career total BTW.

Presumably? He was dropping into coverage more.

This article (https://www.steelcityunderground.co...e-changed-in-keith-butlers-defensive-schemes/) compared Dupree and Watt to their peers (2017) as it related to time in coverage and sacks. I will note he used PFF data where I would assume Kozora used his own video review. Both Watt and Dupree improved after the coaches flipped sides, both playing at a more natural position for their skill sets.

tj is the better olb in dropping and with the addition of bush and barron you could drop them and just have tj and watt mostly rush

To be fair, Ike was great CB and he had how many? I won't judge to harshly on that stat alone.
