Keith Butler On Devin Bush’s Decreased Snaps: ‘We Wanted To Try And Get Mark Barron On The Field’ In Coverage

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie inside linebacker Devin Bush played 53 snaps in the season opener, or 76 percent of the team’s defensive snaps, racking up 11 tackles in the process. For the next seven weeks, he never dipped below 89 percent of the team’s snaps, other than the week immediately afterward.

Until last week, when he logged only 34 snaps, and then 54 snaps (77 percent of the total), in the Steelers’ two games against the Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Browns. He did obviously see more time in the second game than in the first.
