Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, itโs the performance of outside linebacker Alex Highsmith in the teamโs 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Highsmith had four tackles, three for a loss, one sack, one quarterback hit and a pass defended in the victory โ his best performance of the season. The noise has been loud over the past few weeks as Highsmith returned from injury and returned to his starting role, while pushing Nick Herbig down the depth chart.
Highsmith proved his value this week. Alan breaks it down.
