Good for the Jaguars getting out of that, even if it is going to cost them 9.6 million. Ouch Steelers will have some money, but if he doesnt live up to expectations, he will likely be gone before 2023. Im luke warm on this trade. Solid player, and a big upgrade over Spillane, but hopefully we didnt give up too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Also, I also don’t think any LB in today’s day is keeping a job if he isn’t athletic, thumper or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really knows what he is doing? He was very good in coverage for us. It was his best trait. Really don't like seeing Schobert playing for the Steelers. Yuck.

MSURacerDT55 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) One of the most overrated players in my recent memory, he is a very slight upgrade over Spillane, but then again he's already not the most physical guy in the world going to a 3-4 defense.

vegas492 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Great move for Pittsburgh for the player. Not so sure about the contract, but that can be re-worked. Schobert is the thinker/leader inside. Unleash Bush. Thinking that Watt and Schobert played together in college, 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I'll say this, Schobert and Bush in a Nickel package are going to be a great due in pass coverage and sideline to sideline. I'm surprised to see Pitt pick up Joe's contract, but he's a very solid LB. He doesn't fit that typical ILB A-B plug guy, but he's great laterally and in coverage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is generally true, which is why (side note) I think it will be interesting to see how long CJ Mosley lasts in the NFL since he's an absolute liability in coverage and has below-average speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe is athletic and extremely smart. Im surprised he didnt do well in JAX--when he was in Cleveland he was easily one of our best 2-3 defenders and a great cover LB. He was one of like 4 out of 198 mid-round draft picks the Browns actually developed into being a good player in the past 20 years.

jebrick Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 If he is smart enough to play a zone then I think he will be fine. The Steelers just have to not call a defense that puts him in man coverage. I see him getting the Vince Williams role in the defense for at least this year. He just gets more expensive for every year going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went 8-8 in 2019 with the worst QB play in the league, and we had a worse overall team than we do now. The Steelers may not be the force they once were, but everyone acting like they are going to be one of the worst teams in the league are ******* delusional.
