With T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Nick Herbig, the Steelers were ready to hit the ground running with a three-headed pass-rush monster. Unfortunately, that plan hit the skids early in the season. First Highsmith went down, then Herbig, and then Highsmith again.
But with Herbig already back and balling and Highsmith ready to return, the hunt is on again. And as HC Mike Tomlin says, sometimes the strength of the pack is the pack. At times, the Steelers unleashed a pack of three edge rushers at the start of the season.
And Highsmith basically told reporters yesterday that they plan to get back to that.
