The Pittsburgh Steelers traded for Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots, a safety to help replace Deshaun Elliott's role.

I want to talk about the impact of that and the difference between scheme and rules and why that could be the biggest breakdown that's happening on the Steelers defense.

dot com nick for once in god's beautiful blue and green earth omar con made a trade before i

recorded a show and i'm so happy i say this as they're probably going to trade for like Crystal Lave right? He's right as I say that. But I'm just happy that they got it done before he because I hate redoing my shows. But Kyle Dugger, the Patriot Safety, who's now going to be with the Steelers, which traded for while Deshaun Elliott does go on injured reserve, essentially it was a swap of a seventh round pick for a sixth round pick in this.

It's also now apparent that the Patriots are basically taking the bulk of his salary this year.

And the deal that he's basically going to be on time to the Steelers with is just a one-year rental deal.

So basically a low-value pickup, despite the big contract that he had to stay in New England from last year before they hired Mike Rabel.

What do you think the trading for a Kyle Dugger does for this secondary?

And can it be part of a process to fix what's been going on?

I mean, it feels like a replacement for Deshaun Elliott to me more than anything.

That's what it feels like.
