The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t just content to see whether or not their rookie inside linebacker Devin Bush, is capable of calling the defense. They are literally forcing the task upon him with every opportunity, according to his teammates, among them outside linebacker Bud Dupree.
He told Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that “we’re kind of like making him make the calls so he won’t get lackadaisical with it because he is that guy”. Bush got the full slate of first-team reps yesterday for the first padded practice with Mark Barron being given a veteran’s day off, so that suggests he was calling the defense all day.
