If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. At least that’s the approach I hope Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers take with their new safety tandem of Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger. The two played nearly every snap as Pittsburgh’s defense shut down the NFL’s top offense on the way to an unlikely 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Ramsey was one of the top cornerback and safety prospects coming out of the 2016 NFL Draft, but he’s primarily been a corner in the NFL. He’s played a mix of the two dating back to training camp with the Steelers, but they were forced to shift him to full-time safety against the Colts in response to DeShon Elliott and Jabrill Peppers’ injuries and Chuck Clark’s illness that forced all three to miss the game.
