Why the Steelers think they've found Ryan Shazier's replacement, in more ways than one

Strike one, strike two, strike three
LATROBE, Pa. _ Welcome to the NFL, No. 1.
That, at least, is the message the Steelers’ offense appeared to be sending to No. 1 pick Devin Bush this afternoon during “Seven Shots,” the Steelers’ practice-opening, short-yardage/two-point conversion drill.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, in particular.
Roethlisberger, by coincidence or design, went at the rookie inside linebacker three consecutive times, and the offense won the rep on all three occasions.
The first was a conversion/scoring pass to wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, after which Bush responded with an expletive.
The second was a completion to running back Jaylen Samuels in the end zone, after which someone on the defensive sideline hollered “get there, 5-5.”
The third was a connection to 6-foot-4 tight end Vance McDonald that sailed right over Bush (5-11) on the way to McDonald, who finished with another conversion/score.

10 tackles... pfft...
Bush only had 10 tackles because the game was in Pittsburgh and he had a solo tackle when he jumped in the pile when the play was over!10 tackles... pfft...
Exactly. Any Ravens defender put in the same position would have had ELEVEN tackles!!!Bush only had 10 tackles because the game was in Pittsburgh and he had a solo tackle when he jumped in the pile when the play was over!
I just hope that Bush did not have a tackle on this play!

He got 2 tackles from that
Don’t you guys love it when a plan comes together?
The kid is just special. He belongs in the Black and Gold. I can’t wait to see him next to Watt and behind Hayward and Tuitt.
I’m not sold on secondary depth, but if our starters stay healthy I believe this defense will be pretty damn good.
Before the draft occurred, Riddick declared that Devin Bush was the best player in the entire draft. So, this follow up makes sense.
Just pray it continues for at least about 100-120 more games.

Baldy was having an orgasm during that tweet lol
Ok. So this is just not really useful, but I was watching all these breakdowns and thinking about building a 2020+ defense. I kinda think that the 3-4 can be "salvaged" but you need 2 ILBs that can run like Bush. Then I as thinking about a Steelers defense with Bush, Shazier, Edmunds, and Polamalu down the middle. Just the athleticism alone got me giddy.
