Rennell Wren to Steelers

[*pally*]

#Steelers adding interesting name to D-line room — Renell Wren, a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2019, is joining Pittsburgh’s practice squad, per source. Steelers hope he’s a better fit in a 3-4 scheme.

Is this just Tomlin looking for some insider information on Sweet Lou's defense?

You know it is.

Yep, dirty bastids...

Nah, not a conspiracy theorist. How much does a defensive tackle understand about the defense as a whole?

This could well be about fit. Lou wasn't hired till late February 2019, Wren was drafted in April. Didn't leave a lot of time for him to analyze and evaluate the personnel he inherited, devise a system to implement here, and prep for the draft. Wren may be more suited for 5-tech than 3-tech.

Or the Steeler defense sucks balls and they're desperate enough to take on our rejects.

Also, hasn't he been hurt most of his time here?

Wren seems like a nice kid and I wish him well. Just think of it as a trade for Mike Hilton.
