Defense made me proud today.

I have been saying forever that McClendon should be playing the old Hoke role where he rotates in at DE as a backup and also rotates in at NT. I'm not tally sold that McCullers is the future at NT, but I'm glad to see McClendon in the role that he is built for. On a sour note...Jarvis still stinks.

Blake sucks as a corner, MOST of the time. With that said, he actually has great athleticism and is a good hitter. His played is tailor made to be a free safety, where he can roam the backfield and make plays on the ball. I think it's time to move him there.

I liked McClendon at DE. Not quite Tuitt but a lot better than Thomas. He (McClendon) is just stronger and more athletic than Marshmallow Thomas. I'm good with this for another week while Tuitt continues to heal.

I saw enough for me to feel that Thomas (as long as Big Dan is healthy) should never see the field again barring injury

However the season ends if the Steelers have their thinking cap on Mclenden gets resigned and Thomas gets the exit.
