Let's Ride: Pinpointing the Pittsburgh Steelers weaknesses in 2026
Q: How do you view the use of three outside linebackers with Nick Herbig inside?
It's a nice exotic package for certain situations like third downs, but using Herbig as a full-time inside linebacker would likely be problematic due to the transition and run-fitting demands.
Let's Ride: Pinpointing the Pittsburgh Steelers weaknesses in 2026
