Answers to Steelers Five Burning Questions week three versus 49ers

How will Minkah Fitzpatrick do in his Steelers debut?

I think Minkah Fitzpatrick’s Steelers debut was a success. Fitzpatrick had a good tackle on Deebo Samuel, which showed his open-field tackling skills. Fitzpatrick also had an interception in the first quarter.

I thought it was interesting that they asked Fitzpatrick to blitz. On a cover 1, the Steelers sent Minkah Fitzpatrick and had Terrell Edmunds play the deep safety. This was somewhat of a trick play by Keith Butler.

If there were weaknesses in Fitzpatrick’s game, I would say it was in the running game. Minkah Fitzpatrick had a missed tackle on the fullback, Kyle Juszczyk. However, I would still say he did an adequate job against the run.

Will the Steelers be able to contain George Kittle?

I think the Black & Gold did an excellent job containing George Kittle. He had six catches for 57 yards. I would say that is a very average day for a tight end.

This is a good stat line for the Steelers defense as George Kittle might be the best player on their offense. The fact that they were able to keep him in check is a good sign.

The Steelers ended this one with a loss, but I still was encouraged by some things. I thought the Steelers played well on defense and kept George Kittle in check. Although he is a guy who more so beats you with the blocking, I thought as a receiver he had a very average day.

Though this game ended in a loss, there are still plenty of games left in the season and with that comes plenty of more questions to ask.
