Some of you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the 3-4

[DeaconKnowledge]

You guys are underselling Hampton. There was a time when Hampton was THE strongest guy in the league. Nix is no Hampton.

 

[Steel Not A Player]

Yep, and Hageman is not a guy that gets pushed around with the double team either. Not sure what film they were watching.

Well, that's the end of that discussion. Atlanta took him...

At least they passed on Nix. Tuitt is a medical concern but obviously the Steelers aren't worried about it.

 

[Atlsteelers]

Tuitt it is.

And it's not a bad pick. Hell, Nix may still be available in round 3.

But the bottom line point is still that we don't have a proper nose tackle, and we'll need one with linebackers this small.

The Steelers have made it very clear that they think McLendon can handle it. Someone posted an article full of LeBeau quotes about it. So it isn't going to happen.

 

[SteelerAl]

The long runs that our defense allowed in 2013 had nothing to do with McClendon at all.

Steelers also signed Cam Thomas.
