The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen some improved defensive play recently at all levels of the unit. In many ways, the front seven has been the catalyst of that effort. With T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and some good performances from the defensive tackles, the group has been more of a force in recent weeks. And although he doesn’t play quite as much as he should, Nick Herbig has been terrific as well.
Herbig played well enough against Cincinnati to earn some praise from Brian Baldinger.
“Well it’s gotten to a point where you can’t take Nick Herbig off the field,” Baldinger said.
