‘We Don’t Just Move Them To Move Them:’ Teryl Austin Explains Why Steelers Shift Pass Rushers Around

This week the Pittsburgh Steelers will finally have a chance to deploy all of their top pass rushers in the same game. They’ve been dealing with several different injuries at edge rusher over the course of the year. Alex Highsmith has missed significant time due to multiple injuries, but he’s expected to return this week. It will be interesting how the Steelers deploy all of them, and if they flip any to opposite sides. Teryl Austin went into detail Thursday on why the Steelers choose to do that sometimes.

“I think they’re all game plan specific in terms of what we feel we can get done,” Austin said via team-provided transcripts.
