In the NFL, sometimes EDGE rushers will switch sides to take advantage of matchups. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, that isn’t the case as Alex Highsmith told Ben Roethlisberger on his Footbahlin’ podcast that he’s more comfortable on the right side and T.J. Watt is more comfortable on the left side, so the two won’t switch.
“Right’s my more comfortable side,” Highsmith said via Channel Seven’sYouTube channel. “I think it’s just where we’re pretty much comfortable. He’s comfortable there, on the left. I played the right side in college, as well, throughout my last two years of college, and honestly I think it works out the best, because it’s a feeling we’re both comfortable with.
