Good Tuesday to you Steelers’ Fans!
Steelers’ Outside Linebackers’ Coach Joey Porter turned some heads yesterday when he told the Post-Gazette’s Ed Bouchette Bud Dupree and T.J. Watt were the starters. “We have two guys who are first-rounders, we drafted them for this,” Porter offered, per Bouchette. “Now you have to turn them loose and let them play.” (quote courtesy NFL.com) Porter went on to compare James Harrison to a “relief pitcher” who will come in when Watt doesn’t have anything left.
If you look at the way the Steelers and Keith Butler handled Ryan Shazier then this is consistent with that.
