Despite Mark Robinson’s Emergence, Steelers Should Prioritize Adding A Quality LB This Offseason

Steelers fans were elated to see rookie LB Mark Robinson finally get on the field for extended action Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens, logging his first career start over former first round pick Devin Bush who would only play five total defensive snaps in the contest. HC Mike Tomlin pointed to his “combative, confrontational approach to ball,” as a key reason Robinson got the nod over Bush Sunday night where he played 50% of the defensive snaps and logged seven total tackles (two solo). Robinson has some mishaps when it came to quickly going through his reads and finishing tackles, but his effort, aggression, and physicality were aspects that the Steelers have sorely missed at ILB for a long time.
