Mike’s Beer Bar War Room: Improving inside linebacker via free agency

The Steelers must improve at inside linebacker.

That much couldn't be clearer.

Myles Jack (692), Devin Bush (659) and Robert Spillane (588) combined to play 1,939 defensive snaps this season at off-the-ball linebacker. Theses three combined to record one sack, which came in Week 1 against a flummoxed Cincinnati offense and Joe Burrow. These three combined for nine tackles for loss. These three combined for zero interceptions, zero forced fumbles and zero fumble recoveries. And this from the position on the defense designed to create the most splash plays.
