Steelers Adjust Lineup and Activate McFarland Amidst Injury Woes

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to adjust their inside linebacker rotation following the season-ending injury to Cole Holcomb. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that they will now rely on a more traditional rotation featuring Elandon Roberts and Kwon Alexander, with one coming off the field in sub-packages. While the loss of Holcomb is significant, Tomlin believes in the capabilities of Roberts and Alexander, and there is potential for second-year linebacker Mark Robinson to see some playing time as well. The Steelers had initially found success with a three-man rotation, but will now have to adapt without Holcomb.

Mina Kimes Worries About Pittsburgh's ILB Group Despite Strong Performance

ESPN analyst Mina Kimes thinks that the inside linebacker group will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ downfall, a problem she said the team’s dealt with since Ryan Shazier’s career-ending injury. The team added Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, and Nick Kwiatkowski to the group this offseason, but Kimes believes that neither Holcomb nor Roberts will be factors in the passing game. However, the inside linebacker spot is probably the weakest on Pittsburgh’s defense, but it remains to be seen how the group will perform during game action.

"Assessing the Steelers' Recent Defensive Moves"

This film room analysis looks at Cole Holcomb's 2022 film, which shows he is a smart run defender who consistently finds where the ball is going and gets there. He can deal with blockers when he has to and frequently shoots into gaps and disrupts the run lane. However, his aggressive nature can get him in trouble, and he wasn't as fast as he was in 2021, limiting his playmaking. If he can return to his 2021 level of play, he will likely be the best linebacker on the Steelers in 2023.

"Assessing the Steelers' Latest Free Agency Moves"

The Pittsburgh Steelers have filled their immediate need at inside linebacker by signing Cole Holcomb, a former starter with the Washington Commanders. Holcomb is an athletic linebacker who excels in coverage and has shown he can make plays on the ball. With the Steelers' inside linebackers failing to record an interception or force a fumble in 2022, Holcomb's addition brings a player capable of being an every-down linebacker. The Steelers can continue to address the position, whether that be in terms of adding another potential starter or in terms of depth as the offseason continues.
