Brian Flores to Aaron Curry to Scott McCurley???
Three straight years with a new inside linebackers coach (Yet PAT MEYER is STILL here. Lucky us).
Glass half full…who’s to say this McCurley fella won’t be Tomlin’s first ever coaching branch (He won’t)
Perhaps last year’s prize free agent signing, Pat Queen, can benefit from Scott’s expert tutelage (Ok I laughed just typing that).
Anyway
The Steelers lone thumper in the front 7 has apparently been replaced by another LB poach from the Ravens, Malik Harrison.
Yawn
Hopefully Payton Wilson ate a sandwich over the offseason
With Elandon Roberts signing with the Raiders, looks like he’s a starter along with the wildly overrated, Pat Queen.
The shit-off stupid legal tampering period kicked off free agency before I could write about this year’s linebackers, but I’ll (speed) write about it anyway for my own amusement.
Free Agents (Steelers signed theirs yesterday):
• Zach Baun- Still an Eagle. Howie Roseman is the best GM in football
• Dre Greenlaw- He took his torn achilles to Denver
• Nick Bolton- Speedy fella resigned with the Chiefs
• Robert Spillane- Who has the bigger neck? Spillane or Scott Frost? Pats and Mike Vrabel signed Bob with the quickness. Culture counts y’all.
• Jamien Sherwood- Jets paid out the ass to keep their team MVP
• Ernest Jones- Well traveled Cock of late stayed in Seattle
• Kyzir White- Cardinals DC Nick Rallis gave his newborn son the middle name “Kyzir.” File that one under stuff only interesting to me.
• Malik Harrison- worth noting he took over for Trenton Simpson as Ravens starter and didn’t suck. Still, I liked Elandon Roberts.
Draft:
• Jalon Walker- Georgia 5 star an explosive chess piece for a creative DC to…oh wait…never mind
• Jihaad Campbell- Roll Damn Tide. Similar to Walker, can play off ball and rush the passer.
• Carson Schwesinger- “Captain America” a one-year wonder, but what a year.
• Barrett Carter- Suwanee, GA resident. Proud North Gwinnett Alum. Was one of my son’s coaches at a summer football camp way back when. Another tidbit to file under stuff only interesting to me.
• Demetrius Knight- Explosive Cock. Another former Yellow Jacket? Damn, that engineering school down 85 had some players.
• Chris Paul- “Pooh” (as opposed to poo) will smack ya. Monte rolling over in his grave after watching his son Lane squander all that defensive talent.
• Smael Mondon- Yet another Georgia 5 star. Fragile dude but he’s got elite coverage skills.
• Cody Simon- National champion and stat sheet filler. Dig him.
• Danny Stutsman- The Sooners haven’t had a personality like this since “The Boz.”
• Kobe King- Penn Stater brings that mamba mentality to run defense.
• Jeffery Bassa- Fast Duck a converted safety.
• Jack Kiser- This Captain Jack played more games than any player in glorious history of Notre Dame football. His grandmother was an administrative assistant for Ara Parseghian. Another tidbit interesting only to me.
• Jackson Woodard- Hell no I've never seen a UNLV game, but I do read. I read this Runnin’ Rebel is a tackling machine.
• Eugene Asante- Small but explosive Auburn Tiger. Special teams demon for Danny Smiff
• Nick Martin- Chasing down Xavier Worthy from behind is his claim to fame. Helluva claim
• Shemar James- I want the Steelers to draft all 3 Shemar’s in this draft. They all can play and R-O-N’s head will explode.
• Carson Breuner- Mark’s kid. Nepotism rules the roost at the house of Tomlin.
Thanks as always for reading. Please comment on the linebackers you like and those you don’t. That’s it. I’m all typed out. Enjoy the rest of the offseason.
