Was pleasantly surprised to find that Tyler Matakevich led the Steelers' defense against Miami with 6 solo tackles and 2 assists! I'll try and find out how many snaps he played as I watched very little of the game; could be that he did it in limited snaps much as Kyle Fackrell did last week for Green Bay. Anthony Chickillo also had 3 solo tackles yesterday.
Due to injuries and busts, the Steelers aren't nearly as black as earlier projected. Big Ben and 2 o-linemen were the only White starters going into training camp, but so far this season the line has had as many as 4 White starters, Jesse James is the starting tight end, and Chickillo and now Matakevich are seeing snaps on defense. Guess I'll stop calling them the Crawfords for now, until the "real" players reclaim their spots from the overachievers.
