Browns Week 1 If you were like me before I decided to sign up for the DirecTV Sunday Ticket package , every week I was wondering whether I would be able to watch my beloved Steelers in the comfort of my own home, or if I would have to go elsewhere to watch the game.Before there were websites devoted to this, it meant a lengthy trip on the television guide screen to see which game was scheduled to play, but now it is just a click away. For those who want to know what game they will see, check the map below , courtesy of 506 Sports:[Steelers fans: Sign up for FanPulse, our weekly Steelers survey]The Steelers vs. Browns game is the GREEN portion of the map.If you are curious about the other matchups, they are as follows:YELLOW — Ravens vs. BillsORANGE — Colts vs. BengalsRED — Patriots vs. TexansBLUE/PURPLE — Chiefs at Chargers (Late Game)So, are you lucky enough to be able to watch the game live in your own home, or are you one of the many who will have to find other means to view the game? Either way , today is the day to get pumped!! The regular season is finally here!HERE WE GO!! The Steelers defense missed Ryan Shazier greatly after his devastating injury on December 4th in 2017. They didn’t adequately address the ILB position in both the draft and free agency. Jon Bostic was serviceable, but wasn’t enough. L.J. Fort played honorably, but he might not be enough, and his contract is up as well. This year, they have cap space to look outside the organization.Here is a look at what is currently available at this crucial position.C.J. Mosley - Baltimore RavensNo. 57 for the Steelers greatest rival was picked two slots later than Shazier. While he never became a clone of Ray Lewis , the former member of the Crimson Tide became the leader of the defense. With a career best top 11 % rankingin run-stopping, the four-time Pro Bowler erased the stigma that he was a pass-coverage liability by allowing career lows in YAC and YPR.Jordan Hicks - Philadelphia Eagles Hicks should be a top priority for the Eagles to resign. He has become a pillar of the Phily defense. The former third-round selection is equally adept as a run stopper and a coverage linebacker. Hicks has nine career picks.Patrick Onwuasor - Baltimore RavensHis name may be tough to pronounce, but the name of the Raven LB is easily rolling of the tongue of GMs across the league. The three-year man from Portland State was the most productive out of a talented stable of Raven LBs. Onwuuasor had 5.5 sacks last season and could be a great find for any team in the league, including Pittsburgh.Corey Littleton - Los Angeles RamsLittleton had a Pro Bowl season in 2018 after a breakout year that saw him achieve 125 tackles and four sacks. Littleton was phenomenal in the playoffs too. The RFA could be enticing to teams after last season, but could he be a one-season wonder on a great defense? Being restricted , a team would have to give up a pick. Littleton could be worth that for Pittsburgh.Other Notable Available Inside Linebackers Denzel Perryman - Los Angeles ChargersManti Te’o - New Orleans SaintsL.J.
