RANKING Steelers DBs: Is Brandin Echols BETTER than Darius Slay Jr. within Mike Tomlin's defense?
Description
On the Saturday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko rank the team's defensive backs by confidence level.
Does Jalen Ramsey still belong on top within coach Mike Tomlin's defense despite some issues in recent weeks? Is Joey Porter Jr. still the obvious No. 2? Should Brandin Echols rank ahead of Darius Slay Jr.? Even as the latter makes big money? And how should we sort through safety options like Juan Thornhill, Jabrill Peppers and Kyle Dugger amid DeShon Elliott's injury?
Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to previewing the NFL Week 9 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts at Acrisure Stadium? Are Daniel Jones, Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren, Michael Pittman and Co. as dangerous as they've looked through the first half of the season? Or do they belong in the AFC's second tier alongside Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth and the Steelers?
