Patrick Queen Addresses Performance and Tackle Issues After Steelers’ 37-15 Win Over Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen has been under the spotlight following the team’s 37-15 victory over the New York Jets on October 21, 2024. In the post-game media session, Queen candidly discussed his performance and the need to improve his tackling skills.

Queen acknowledged his struggles with missing tackles, a issue that has been a recurring theme in his recent games. “I could say for my teammates, not for myself,” Queen said, emphasizing the importance of personal accountability. He stressed that he cannot afford to miss tackles and that it is a critical area he needs to address.

Despite the Steelers’ convincing win, Queen’s individual stats reveal some areas of concern. According to Pro Football Focus, Queen has a overall grade of 49.5 for the 2024 season, ranking him 107th out of 137 linebackers. He has made 21 tackles, which places him 38th among linebackers, but he has also missed 8 tackles, ranking him 44th in that category.

In a separate incident during the game, Queen was involved in a significant hit on a Jets player, with reports indicating that the player was taken off the field on a cart due to the severity of the impact.

Queen’s comments and the statistical analysis highlight the ongoing challenges he faces in his role as a linebacker for the Steelers. As the season progresses, his ability to improve his tackling and overall defensive performance will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
