    Tyler Matakevich Blocking Out His Doubters And Their ‘Outside Noise’

    Tyler Matakevich Blocking Out His Doubters And Their ‘Outside Noise’

    By Dave Bryan
    Posted on July 31, 2018

    You can probably include me as one of several people who doubts that Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Tyler Matakevich will ultimately be the team’s starter alongside Vince Williams come Week 1 of the regular season. While Matakevich has undoubtedly had to hear that there’s several who doubt he’ll be able to hold the starting position for the rest of training camp and the preseason the last several months, he’s really trying to block those negative thoughts out just the same.

    “I mean, you can’t pay any attention to that,” Matakevich said Monday, according to 93.7 The Fan. “That’s just outside noise as I like to say. You just got to block it out. Because if you are to look at that stuff, people are gonna be doubting you your whole life. You’re always going to have the naysayers. So like I said, you just can’t pay attention to that. You just got to play your game, do your job, do your responsibility and help this team out.”

    With five training camp practices now in the books, Matakevich, the Steelers former seventh-round draft pick out of Temple, has reportedly received a good bulk of the first-team reps at the mack inside linebacker position ahead of veteran Jon Bostic, who was signed via free agency earlier in the offseason. While many will say that the Steelers mack inside linebacker position is destined to be doomed in 2018 with Ryan Shazier sitting the year out with a serious spinal injury he suffered last season, Matakevich says all he can control is playing like he knows he can play.

    What's the noise from last night? Nate Sudfeld faked out Dirty Red pretty badly when he had a free run to the QB.

    The idea that Dirty Red can be anything more than a special teams player is a pipe dream only seen through black and gold goggles.

    "On the defensive side of the ball, Ola Odeniyi, an undrafted rookie from Toledo, had several quarterback pressures and recorded two tackles. One of those tackles was a strip-sack. Tyler Matakevich also played well, recording five tackles and forcing a fumble."

    Sad that the writer of the article must not have seen the game. Otherwise he would have seen dirty Red miss a free shot at Sudfield on the TD pass to Goedart. Also, Matakevich getting his ankles broke by Eagles backup RB on a cutback from a zone run to his left.

    I like Matakevich and thought he could be a 2 down ILB, but he looked bad vs the Eagles IMO. He has a long way to go before he is even Jerry Olsavsky good.
