Well, he was down two starters Sunday night. I'm not making excuses for him. I'm not here to defend anyone. It's just that when new coaches come in it can take some time.

Tomlin seemed very angry at the 12 men on D call, and looked like he was barking at Butler. Did you notice that?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:39
I didn't see it, but I heard about it.

Will we see any more changes personnel wise soon? ie) more of Ridley or Matthew Thomas?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:40
I'd rather see Thomas because he's a better athlete than any o f their ILBs. I just don;t know if he's ready from a mental standpoint.

What’s your thoughts on the OLB position and coaching? DuPree has been a little better... Watt non existent last 3 games... Thansk
Ray Fittipaldo
12:41
Dupree has been good as of late. He got a sack and collapsed the pocket a few other times. Watt hasn't done much since the Cleveland game. They need more out of their first-round picks.

Dear Coaches...don't you think at least trying to polish off your fullback and grind out some yards/control some clock would be a neat-o idea as it would help control some clock and minimize your opponents cracks at our defensive cracks aka: grand canyon defense?

Any idea when Ola comes off IR? And why not give Thomas a look at LB? What could it hurt?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:43
Even if they are better options it's not a good look on the front office. There is some politics involved.

Do you remember a Steeler team that started out so sluggish and turned it around for a playoff run?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:44
No I do not.

Ray - I think when people say the defense did good enough - they are really saying they did about the best we could expect.  Do you believe this is the worst defense we've had here since the 80s?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:45
Shaping up that way.

How would you fix this mess right now?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:47
Get their attention with a shake-up move. Whether it's a personnel move or a coaching staff move.

Fichtner seems to be pass happy with BB under center. 47 attempts last night and we only ran it like 10 times. If BB is calling the plays, is Fichtner to much of his friend to say, hey can we run it a little more?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:47
He better do that. That's his job.

Hi Ray - Bud Dupree seemed more like the player they expected last night for the first time in a long time. Agree?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:48
At first glance, I thought he played pretty well at times.
12:49
Ok I have to get to the locker room. Thanks for all the questions this week. We'll do it again next week.
