Kevin Jobity Jr.

Uh, Rubio's there.

Uh, don't forget that Kevin Jobity is in the mix.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, they, they still have guys there, uh, Chris.

Um, and those rookies had a couple years to develop and then eventually work themselves into the lineup.

And also, you know, we didn't even mention the undrafted guy who made this team, Kevin Jobity Jr. He's been inactive-

That's right

... on game days.

Yeah, just, I mean, like Derek Harmon's on injured reserve.

I mean, I, I, I trust Gabe Rubio at that point, but now you're asking Kevin Jobity to come in, and now you're really dipping in, dipping into your depth at that point.

Yeah, that, I think that's really the way to look at this, is that, uh, whoever's new on there and whoever isn't being placed on there just for rest purposes, that, that's problematic.

Um, you're already missing, like you said, Harmon.

...

but it's hard to carry five inside linebackers, so you're making a decision, I think a guy like a Landon Roberts, you're making a decision, is it a Landon Roberts or is it Kevin Jobity or, or, um, you know, Gabe Rubio? That, that might be the decision more than, you know, him versus Cole Holcomb or him versus Carson Brunner.

And it'll be interesting, I think, uh, Max, Willie's been calling for it for this tight end usage, uh, increased tight end usage.

This would seem to be the week, right? This would seem to be a good week for all the reasons we mentioned.

And I think for the Steelers' defense, um, I think we're gonna see some young guys.

You know, they were very high on Gabr- Gabriel Rubio, uh, Kevin Jobity.

Those were guys that obviously made the roster, but you could tell that they were seeing things on the field in Latrobe and when they came back to Pittsburgh.

Um, and I think, you know, especially Rubio, he would be the one, if I had to guess, who gets a helmet If there's only one of them due to who knows what other injuries will impact it.

Right, right.

Yeah, he, he brings more to the table a- in run defense than probably Kevin Jobity Jr.

And, I mean, whether it's Jonathan Taylor or the weather or both, you know, I think this is gonna be a game that you need that run defense to be right.

So, uh, you know, Rubio was telling me he's, you know, he sits right next to Cam Hayward in the locker room.
