The Pittsburgh Steelers have invested as much, or perhaps accurately, more, in their linebacker corps than any team in the NFL.<br />Among the eight linebackers who see playing time for the Steelers, four were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, including edge rushers Bud Dupree and Jarvis Jones.<br />The 14 sacks the outside linebackers have been responsible for account for just 38 percent of the team’s sack total – the lowest ratio the Steelers have seen since they went 6-10 in 2003, according to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.<br />Recently, in fact, the Steelers have seen their sack production stall almost entirely, as the lone Steelers sack in Week 16 come on a cornerback blitz by Brandon Boykin.
