With Jon Bostic under performing thus far in his time with the Steelers,

Not sure I am buying this belief.

We don't need Bostic to be Shazier, we just need him not to be Spence.

I don't think once he gets comfy within the scheme that he will be a liability.

Well, he's not Spence. He's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay slower...

If Bostic is under performing as bad as this reads then It might be high time a rookie starts................




Salute the nation

He's not wowing us. He's a good run supporter, but gives nothing in pass protection. I will expect teams to pass on first and second down to exploit him. It will lead to the Steelers having to give more and more playing time to Thomas, who is our best coverage linebacker. I thought Bostic was paid more, but he only makes $1.5M to be our starting ILB. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to see Thomas get more playing time. Their payrolls aren't that far apart.

And Thomas is making the roster. You don't have a defensive formation called Seminole, and not expect to use it in the regular season. They named the freaking formation after him for gosh sakes!

A wait and see with me on this one. I think he can get the job done.

We will find out quickly.

Not that I don't think Thomas isn't capable of eventually winning a start.
