Mike’s Beer Bar War Room: Improving inside linebacker through free agency

The Steelers must improve at inside linebacker.

Myles Jack (692), Devin Bush (659) and Robert Spillane (588) combined to play 1,939 defensive snaps for the Steelers this season at off the ball linebacker. These three combined recorded one sack, which came in Week 1 against a flummoxed Bengals offense and Joe Burrow.

For the entire season, these three combined for nine tackles for loss. These three combined for zero interceptions, zero forced fumbles and zero fumble recoveries. This all from the position on the defense designed to create the most splash plays.
