Keith Butler assesses the play of Joe Schobert in the early stages of his Steelers tenure

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been wheeling and dealing this year when it comes to acquiring players. The team made several trades prior to the 2021 regular season, and the most notable was the trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for inside linebacker Joe Schobert.

Schobert came to Pittsburgh and was inserted into the starting lineup almost immediately. Has he hit the ground running? That might be a bit generous, but Schobert has had his ups and downs in the black and gold.

On Thursday defensive coordinator Keith Butler met with media, and was asked about Schobert’s overall play in his short tenure with the Steelers.
