DO THE STEELERS REPLY?

    No

    LOL. No

Frodo Watt

I see a video on pass rushers….

I click

Highsmith is ahead of where Bud was at this point in their careers but these are handpicked highlights. I can pick just as many plays where he struggled badly to set the edge in the run game. We’ll see how he continues to develop.

    @Jock James OMG the homer, yinzer comments are always strong on youtube. Ahead of any first year player we’ve ever drafted? LMAO

    Jock James

    @jw1 with the exception of roethlisberger who was good as a rookie but The playbook was whittled down for him that year. Name a player. It definitely wasn’t Troy polamalu. He had a bad rookie year. Heath Miller was solid as a rookie but I would put Highsmith slightly above him. If you want to go back a ways Kendrick Bell had a good rookie year but he fell off after that.

    @Jock James We’ve had at least 3 defensive rookies of the year that I can think of off the top of my head

    He has a high floor. If he never improves he will still be solid. His ceiling is the question mark. He has shown things on tape that can lead one to believe his ceiling is pro bowl if not all pro. But he has to do it consistently, not in flashes.

    Jock James

    @Stolen Beard he looks fundamentally sound to me. Playmakers are great but someone that can be in the right position on most every play is what wins championships.

Tristan Stone

I love 56 but 17 Games is a loooooonnnnnnggggggg season. Wear some knee braces we need at least two or three more OLB’s.

    Robert Rohde

    We have some good young talent Roche and Watson! Our Steelers will be just fine!

Thomas Arbuckle

Let’s go Steelers

Steelers Sideline

I think Highsmith will Blossom this year. I’m excited for 2021

I’m sorry, ain’t no one in the world convincing me he could fill Bud’s shoes until he (Alex) actually does. It was night and day when Bud went down, the pressure was never the same getting after the QB!

Eskeetit Litty

Go look at our season highlights last year! We were 11-0 because of the phenomenal Force Bud and TJ were bringing on the edge. The proof is there. Then go rewatch film after Bud went down. You ppl live in fantasy land fr
