Throw it all at the wall and see what sticks. That was Omar Khan’s approach to the inside linebacker position this offseason.
What if everything sticks?
Of course, I’m being a little over the top. It won’t. But so far, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ inside linebacker battle has been competitive. Through six practices, nearly everyone in that room has appeared positively in my notes at one time or another. Today, it was Nick Kwiatkoski, who had a breakup on rookie RB Darius Hagans in 1v1 coverage drills, one where the defense is at a heavy disadvantage, before blowing up Hagans in run session, forcing a fumble.
