So far so good for Dupree

Steelers rookie linebacker Bud Dupree is looking to have the most productive rookie season of the trio of linebackers taken in the first round for the past three drafts. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reminds us that Dupree has three sacks already through five games.

Dupree is benefitting from stronger play on the defensive line than Jarvis Jones had in his rookie season. Dupree is also healthy so far for his rookie season *knocks on wood* but so far is certainly justifying his place as a first-round pick.

Golden opportunity

With the injury to safety Will Allen special teams captain Robert Golden will make his first NFL start of his career. The PPG’s Ray Fittipaldo explains how Golden has played in 47 consecutive games for the Steelers and his dependability and play on special teams is what has earned him the start.

Steelers defensive coordinator has complete trust in Golden to start in Allen’s position.

"“If I trusted anybody to be ready on this defense, it would be Robert. He studies the game. He works at his craft. He’s a very smart football player, very good at playing above the neck. He doesn’t get out of position a lot. I’m very comfortable with him.” – Keith Butler"

Steelers style

The Steelers held their annual fashion show on Friday night chaired by Art and Greta Rooney and Mike and Kiya Tomlin to benefit the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and the Cancer Caring Center. The Steelers players and their families rocked the runway with their high fashion styles.
