Even coming off of an 8-8 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers actually have among the most stable starting lineups in the NFL. They lost only three starters from last season, two of which are likely to have in-house replacements, while the third starter…really isn’t even technically a starter, by position.
The latter would be the nose tackle role vacated by Javon Hargrave, and at least based on current evidence, this position should be manned by platoon, between Daniel McCullers and unnamed others, including potentially Tyson Alualu and rookie seventh-round pick Carlos Davis.
Mark Barron was a starter at inside linebacker this year, but the Steelers will simply revert to Vince Williams, who started the previous two seasons, while also potentially breaking in Ulysees Gilbert III, and/or adopting more dime snaps.
