After overhauling the inside linebacker room during the offseason, bringing in veterans Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts and Kwon Alexander in free agency, the Pittsburgh Steelers are rather pleased with the production the group is giving them defensively.
It’s coming via a three-man rotation with Holcomb, Roberts and Alexander all sharing time in certain situations through the first three weeks of the season.
Holcomb, wearing the green dot, is playing a vast majority of the snaps at inside linebacker, seeing 81.06% of the snaps (184) through three weeks. Alexander, who plays mostly on passing downs, sits at 64.
