Steelers Daily Links: Woodson over Ward; Baldy Likes Fehoko
One NFL analysts likes what he sees in new Steelers nose tackle Breiden Fehoko when it comes to stopping the run, an interesting day in the XFL for two former Steelers.
? 93.7 The Fan: NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger thinks new Steelers nose tackle Breiden Fehoko will strictly be a run stuffer.
“He’s not going to get you sacks and push the pocket,” https://twitter.com/MKoll15/status/1641853461716140041″>Baldinger
said. “But you play a team that wants to run the ball like Cleveland, you want him in the middle taking up space. There’s a role for him in this league and he’s good at it.”
? NFL.com: Cynthia Frelund has the Steelers selecting Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones at 17th overall in her latest analytics-based mock draft.
“My models rank last season’s O-line 26th in the league, and Jones forecasts as an impact left tackle from Day 1,” Frelund wrote. “The former Bulldog’s presence should especially be felt in the pass game, where the Steelers ranked 26th in passing yards per play last season (5.97 yards).”
? To say the least, Snoop Dogg had an eventful Saturday. After being “signed” by the Steelers in the morning, Snoop finished the day by driving Rey Mysterio to the ring in a lowrider at https://twitter.com/2000s_WWE/status/1642350062217879552″>WrestleMania
