The forgotten secondary addition of the offseason could deserve a longer look. During a Monday chat, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette beat writer Brian Batko wondered if CB Brandin Echols should – and will – see a larger role on the heels of the Steelers’ ugly Thursday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Responding to a question of if practice squader Beanie Bishop Jr. could be a solution, Batko pivoted to Echols instead.
“Eh, that doesn’t really do much for me, but I do wonder if Brandin Echols might get more opportunities in light of that complete coverage breakdown,” Batko wrote.
