McCourty Praises LB Elandon Roberts For ‘Old-School Linebacker Play’ Against Browns

As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, you can recall the last few years of disappointment when it came to the team’s inside linebacker position. Since Ryan Shazier went down with a career-ending spinal injury, Pittsburgh has had a revolving door at inside linebacker, trying the likes of Devin Bush, Mark Barron, Jon Bostic, Joe Schobert, Myles Jack, Robert Spillane, and others there over the last few years with minimal results. They did have LB Vince Williams, who brought the boom as a downhill thumper but haven’t had that guy since Pittsburgh decided to part ways with him.

Until now.
