Devin Bush leads all rookies in tackles so far through the first two games of the 2019 season. So what? That doesn’t mean the Pittsburgh Steelers starting inside linebacker has necessarily been playing well. In fact, he was responsible for surrendering two touchdowns on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, one against man coverage, one in zone. A deeper look at the tape shows a number of other negative snaps, as well.
That shouldn’t be overly alarming, at least relative to his long-term prospects. Some struggles in the first two meaningful games of his professional career are not exactly going to define him.
