Devin Bush is the linebacker yo replace edmunds

[kirkwoodus13]

I know some here would say this is crazy.. But please remember this guy was the consensus top linebacker in his draft class. He had a great rookie season and then got hurt. A natural leader and great instincts. A change of scenery could do this former first rounder well. Tuff against the run and great blitzer. Sheds blockers way better than Edmunds ever did. What do y’all think. 

[Coach Tuesday]

He has been terrible since his injury.  Not just average: terrible.

[kirkwoodus13]

Buy low sell high. You don’t just loose those instincts. Bring him in and let’s see. We have our coverage backer in Milano. Let this dude stop the run and get after the QB.

I haven't heard much good about him since the injury. Watching a little bit of the Steelers he didn't look like he was helping much in any phase of the defense. No thanks.

Liked the kid coming out of college but Coach summed it up best, post injury is pretty rough. There’s a reason Pitt isn’t clamoring to sign the guy. 
 

Given some of these contracts floating around. Do you want to pay 10m a year?

I know TBD is just horrific when it comes to spelling players names but this is the worst butchering I have ever seen.  Its spelled LaVonte David. You only got half the letters right and none of them were in the right order.

Have a few buddies who are Steelers fans and they think he is an all-world bust, and have negative things to say about him all the time.

They let Myles Jack go as well.

Maybe he was just being a Pratt…?

You can lose instincts.  Especially after an injury…you become more likely yo hesitate.  I believe this is what kept Tre out for longer than normal.  But then you have Von Miller who wasn’t fazed at all.

I think this would be a very low prove it type deal if it even happened. But I haven't seen the guy play recently so I'll trust most of the folks around here. Is his injury the type you can eventually get back from or is he in the junkyard?

Yeah, I'm looking at all these draft sites and they're really not talking about the 2 MLB's as primary needs for the Steelers. Myles Jack was a stretch when they brought him in. Seems like they've shored the positions up a little the last couple of days, but I could easily see them adding an lb in the first, well before a corner, assuming they stay in the same defense.

I'd rather take my chances with Terrel Bernard and Baylon Spector

And failed to realize he’s already signed with another team apparently 🙄 

[nucci]

ahh, change of scenery

I agree...If they want to bring him in for next to nothing, fine...But based on the way he's played, he would be hard pressed to beat out who we already have there. Though anything is possible I guess. 

[Big74Mac]

They better address this pretty darn soon.

[Rc2catch]

So Edmunds was terrible, overpriced right? He can easily be replaced by some draft bust who was getting outplayed by Robert Spillane and Malik Reed. Right? 
 

 

All you’re missing in the first sentence “hear me out” 

[Mat68]

Young player with upside or squeeze the last year or too from a vet like Wagner?  Either way Mike will be in play early in the draft.  

[benderbender]

We got rid of Edmunds

 

And Devin Bush IS a linebacker
