  • They are down to a second string and a third string linebacker for Sunday.  They play mostly a 4-2-5.

 

  •  Vince Williams is out on Covid protocall.  He was their leader in tackles last year (63 with 43 solo) and will be replaced Avery Williamson. (6-2 247#).  They got him via an in-season trade with the Jests,   swapping a Pittsberg 5th for a Jests 7th.

 

  • On the other side, start of season starter Bush is on IR, and a good replacement, Robert  Spiller.  got hurt against the redskins.   That leaves the starter  as Marcus Allen (6-2 215), a converted safety  or "nickel linebacker".  He was drafted out of penn state as a safety 2017 rd 5 #148 player taken and converted to LB at the start of the season.{https://steelersdepot.com/2020/11/keith-butler-confirms-marcus-allen-as-steelers-dime-lineback]  .     

 

  • there is not a lot of depth behind them.

 

Might the Bills take advantage of the new guys with an interior running game or other ways to attack?  Allen has 9 tackles the whole year and did not play in 5 games. (Against the redskins he had no stats) https://www.steelers.com/team/players-roster/marcus-allen/.   

What would you suggest putting in the playbook?
