Steelers mixing it up with Barron, Bush, Williams

I think Barron was brought in much the same way Morgan Burnett was last year. They didn't know what they would get in the draft and they had a hole on the defense. Had they not got Bush or Edmund's last year they got a big problem. So he is an insurance policy. I hope they can use Baron better than Burnett last year. There has to be a role for a bigger guy that can run and cover.

I sure hope so. Burnett was a waste of time. Bush may cure a lot of ailments. He has to.

Burnett had injuries to contend with but I hear what you are saying Sask. They'll get them dialed in and like some here have said, Bince will be the one losing snaps later in the season. I don't see cool shades changing "D" philosophy so Bince will be needed durring the 2DL sets.

I definitely hear what you are saying about Burnett and the injuries. But still Barron is a very similar player to Bush. Bush will have to be as advertised as a run stuffer for it to be Barron and Bush in Base. And if its Bush and Vinnie and Bush plays the sub packages as the athletic cover backer, what exactly does Barron bring?

Tomlin loves to leave 4 LBs on the field on passing downs, so you could pull Williams off on passing downs, and use Bush as the ILB and Barron becomes the S/ILB hybrid player because it's very doubtful if it's 2nd or 3rd and long that the offense will trot out a big personnel package. And he provides depth with speed.

Worse case would be depth but I think Bince plays less & less as BUSH gets up to speed.
