View topic - Keyaron Fox is the latest Linebacker Harvest for Pittsburgh

[DirtDawson Profile]

If there's one thing this team has almost always had an abundance of....it's talent at linebacker.


WIthout a doubt, PIttsburgh is a franchise that has been blessed by the great Linebacker Guardian Angel, as they somehow always manage to find a goldmine of talent at that position.



This year, Key Fox has emerged as the latest in this lineage. Aside from being another great special teams defender, Keyaron Fox has now twice lead this team in tackling when given the oppurtunity to start.


I'm not suggesting he's a threat to Timmon's job. But it's comforting to know we have a backup as capable as him at the position.


It was as comforting as having Mike Vrabel as a backup all those years. Kind of a tangent, but it's funny to think we had Mike Vrabel in the prime of his years, yet he sat as a backup the majority of the time behind Kirkland...


Anyways, kudos to Key Fox

KF really did stand out last night. I really like his hustle and his ability to shed blocks. You may be on to something there.... A little too early to tell.
However, keep in mind that the Stiller's defensive scheme can make a LB standout as compared to most other teams.
