Dupree torn pec

In times like this I sure wish we had the pass rushing, run stuffing turnover machine Jarvis Jones locking it down on the outside...guess I'll just have to give this Ola guy a chance, but man does he have some HUGE shoes to fill after following the likes of Jarvis and Bud.

He will play well. Dud Dupree will never get his starting job back.

We can only hope.

He's singed for the 2019 season, but beyond that the Steelers will have a tough call when he hits free agency.

I don't think it will be a tough call. :waving:

He is signed for 2019, but the Steelers lose nothing if they cut him.
 
Ola is coming off an injury and is pretty green on top of that. THOSE who think he is the answer right now have another guess coming. I'm definately for working him in but I'm also against setting such a high expectation that he is destined to fail. Let him get his feet wet and hopefully he developed into what we hope he can.





Salute the nation
 
Ola is a natural pass rusher with a couple strong moves...anxious to see what he can do. Hopefully he sees the field.

Bud Dupree said he was a full practice participant today. He should be fine Sunday

Rubbed a little dirt on it! Works every time. Plus, he knows Ola was just activated and could ruin any chance for a long term deal.

Ola has been healthy since week 6. He had a hamstring, which is great to have 3mos off for. Plus he's been practicing with the team for 2 whole weeks. He's ready.

Though he will have to adjust to the game speed. It's week 13, and he's coming in at week 1...
 
Ola did look to have fresh legs and some decent burst vs real NFL players, hopeful for his future.

For what Dupree was giving down the stretch in the 2nd half I would've liked to see a lilttle more of Ola, but maybe he was on a strict snap count easing him in.
