As most expected prior to Mike Tomlin’s Tuesday presser, Robert Spillane is the classic “next man up” in replacing Devin Bush. Not that he will be the *only* man up. But Tomlin confirmed Spillane will earn the bulk of the work replacing the team’s star linebacker.
“We’ve got a great deal of confidence in Robert,” Tomlin told reporters. “We’ll continue to largely go with him in replacement of Devin. We will through game planning look at all options in terms of dividing the labor up. But Robert will be the primary man responsible for replacing Devin.
