It came as a bit of a surprise Tuesday morning when an updated depth chart for the Pittsburgh Steelers was released, showing nose tackle Montravious Adams elevated into the starting lineup over veteran Tyson Alualu after just three games.
The film hasn’t lied though, as Adams has played better football than Alualu at this point in the season, earning his spot in the Steelers’ base starting lineup at nose guard. In the end, it wasn’t that difficult of a decision for Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and the defensive coaching staff to elevate Adams into the starting lineup.
