The Steelers confirmed in Friday night’s 27-14 preseason win at New Orleans that their offense is primed for the 2016 season.
The defense still could use a little work, but the good news is that the Steelers could be getting their biggest rookie contribution on that side of the ball in 15 years.
Third-round pick Javon Hargrave had a sack and a batted pass against the Saints and appears to be ahead of Daniel McCullers, who didn’t play, in the competition to start at nose tackle. The massive McCullers, who has shown little in two seasons, doesn’t have Hargraves’ playmaking ability.
