Shoulder ? I thought I seen him holding his face ( eye ) Wow I guess I was off in a zone somewhere...

They also lost Shazier’s replacement, Tyler Matakevich, to a shoulder injury, which meant they were down to their last healthy inside linebacker in L.J. Fort.

Thanks Hines, I guess we wait for a couple days to see how they are doing

Hopefully he has something left


Steelers bring Sean Spence back

503287788-e1512512969642.jpg


Spence was a 2012 third-round pick in Pittsburgh and missed his first two pro seasons with a knee injury. He returned to play 31 games in 2014 and 2015 and then moved on to Tennessee as a free agent last year. He signed a one-year deal with the Colts in March, but was released in October. Spence has 144 tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble over the course of his career.

Glad to see Spence back. Hard worker with a ton of heart. He had a lot of potential before his gross injury. It would be awesome to see some kind of resurgence with this homecoming.

Welcome back Spence! Now get to practice.

Some where - I remember TJ Watt being able to play ILB...I'd give that a go as well, if true and dust of Silverback for the next two games...

Was gonna say, I'd find a way to put Deebo in. If the Colts don't want him, how good could he be?

I believe Watt at ILB & Harrison at OLB > Fort/Spence at ILB & Watt at OLB

I was thinking that last night. Watt has the athleticism to line up ILB and he knows enough to call coverages. You have Harrison and Moats who can platoon as needed.

On a related note, glad to see Spence back; no one has yet to use him properly

All I keep hearing is Watt can not handle the middle, too small, yet Shazier is not.

Watt at ILB just seems to make sense. If it were doable, surely the staff is smart enough to make it happen?

One thing Shazier does well is dropping into coverage. Watt can competently drop into coverage. Hell, we seen Watt vs. a WR. He would give Gronk fits.

I honestly thought it would be Fort / Chickillo opposite Williamsand Harrison in for Chickillo.

Called it. Love the Spence signing. HE will do very well in this system.
