by Middle Linebacker play
Jacob Phillips got his first NFL start today at middle linebacker and came up huge early and often. Andrew Barry had an up and down draft this past spring, but Philips may be the diamond in the rough no one saw coming until today. He finished a poor regular season with a big day. Hopefully it is not a flash as his consistent play all day led the Browns.
Phillips finished with 10 tackles, 8 of them solo and two huge stops on the Steelers second drive of the game. Will this be the spark he needed? Barry hit with a few other picks, and missed on a few others as well. Let’s see where this goes.
