Friday Insider: It’s all stacking up for Dupree ?

[DKPittsburghSports]

Bud Dupree has been less than expected since the Steelers made him a No. 1 draft choice, but the team has a few new wrinkles in mind this season to change that.

Thanks for the write up BUT one uestion..............

If Dupree is going to be "blowing" up the middle, does that mean they are in a 2 DL set???????? CHit

'nother rhetorical question - If Dupree is rushing up the middle, who is setting the edge, Burnts?

I had to notice that he's blowing up Finney (whom I love) but not Pouncey.

I am a huge fan of Finney, but he was an undrafted guy who has just worked his butt off. Blowing him up isn't like blowing up Jeff Hartings or Maurkice Pouncey.

And every damn year we get another story about how the Steelers have determined the magic sauce to make Dupree a monster sack guy. Last year they switched Watt and Dupree's sides. That was going to allow both of them to wreak havoc on the offense.

And I would say Dupree has his strengths. He does a pretty good job covering. He can make up some ground. As a pass-rusher, He's just not top tier and expecting him to be is unrealistic.

I agree. But...

Buddy looked 1000 times better after they switched him to the left side. Now, moving him around only keeps the QB and OC guessing. That can't be a bad thing.

One thing is for sure - Coach Butler knows how to create pressure and get blitzes. If we get the apple turnovers to go w/ the sacks - WATCH OUT NAH!!!

Nah? Wtf

He ain't got it between the ears. Sorry but Bud's days in the Burgh are numbered. Hope he proves me wrong.

Bud might be smart enough to understand a good season equals a large multi year contract.

On the other hand he’s a little injury prone, not very aware and on the weaker side vs the run.
