    The holding calls need to be added to Porters numbers

    Plus the yards gained when he’s afraid/unable to tackle

    I’d put our guys up against all time greats like Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison Sr. in man coverage.

    However, I’m not sure if those guys are interested in coming out of retirement to join one of our future opponents.

    Cant remember what former player or analyst said it but he said its almost like the Steelers are trying to disguise their coverages so much that it is leaving people completely out of position to make plays.

    And this is a bunch of 'grisly veterans' as Mike Tomlin called them in his PC. Goes back to coaching or lack thereof. Guys just not looking prepared for their roles, constant arm waving before the snap.

    Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the “fire Mike Tomlin” bandwagon may have received some good news for a change — as a new report from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac indicates that Art Rooney II isn’t thrilled about the current shape of the team.

    During a Steelers chat with fans, Dulac was asked if Rooney was “angry” with Tomlin over the lack of playoff wins and the recent failures of the highest-paid defense in the league — to which he set the record straight on the strained relationship between ownership and head coach.

    “Angry is not the word,” Dulac wrote. “Frustrated or impatient would be a better choice.”



    Official: The Steelers have announced Mason Rudolph as the starting QB for the week 9 match against Colts, a move that is believed to give Aaron Rodgers time to regain his composure before the humiliating 25-35 loss to his former team.



    Breaking News: The first silent rebellion of the Rodgers-Tomlin era has officially begun, revealing the first evidence that the Steelers are more discordant than ever, even Roman Wilson, a Steelers star, declared to the press: "If Mike Tomlin keeps this old strategy, we won't be able to make the playoffs..."
    Okay some quotes. Dulac would write that unless Rooeny approved it. Has Rooney foreshadowed a decision?


    Suddenly Mason Rudoplh is starting.

    And Roman Wilson, a player who produces when his# is called, takes a shot at Tomlin as for some reason he has been in his dog house. Might there be a reason for this?

    Wild speculation on my part. Rooney has made up his mind and Tomlin has lost the Steelers.

    Dark shades days are numbered. The writing on the wall has become more visible.

    This looks like the beginning of a complete regime meltdown, and the annual collapse has started 3 months early.

    I just don't care what all of these former players have to say including Ben, Ryan Clark, James Harrison.

    I don't subscribe to the PPG, but did we just go Jonathon Swift halfway through?

    I thought when they hired that new DB coach we would get better play from that group.

    Why

    They have been in 9 super bowl combined and won 5....They are very credible and they were all very good(Clark)or great players(Ben and Harrison)!

    Tomlin won nothing since Harrison left!

    Is that because they're telling the truth and you don't like it?

    I have used only used Joel B for 15+ years. Just out of curiosity are you a big Tomlin fan? Do you think he has under achieved relative to the talent his had since 2017?

    Good point. Seems he hasn't solved the problems, maybe made them worse?

    Ben is a phony don't go on your podcast saying your former coaches are going to get outcoached by the Vikings, then have the nerve to show up on the sideline in Ireland.

    I'm always surprised that people don't get tired of the annual media Rickrolls on this topic.

    If you think that Rooney is going to fire Tomlin. Be prepared for "Lucy" to "pull the ball away" again. Maybe that's the better analogy this time of year.

    Tomlin complaint....I wish he would lose his temper on the sideline and really get into a player, at least from time to time. Maybe if he shows some fire during games it would rub off on some of the players. Maybe not.

    Exactly this. It’s ignorant to dismiss the insight from people who have played the game, especially when its for the team you root for. You dont have to agree with them but to pretend they dont have something to offer that you as fan sitting on your couch has no idea about is silly and the only reason to do it is because they are criticizing the team and saying things you dont like and you are too sensitive about it.
