Heard an interesting statement from Ray Fittipaldo who cover the Steelers.

I heard Ben was calling 3rd down defense. He’s such a big dummy.

Makes sense why Vince Williams is on the field trailing a WR by 5 yards on the majority of 3rd downs.

Just throwing this out there...is it possible this is just the 4th game we have played and that one coming off a forced bye?

nah.

Wentz played pretty damned good, too.

nah

That ertz (sp) guy everyone seemed to think he had glue fingers too

nah

Or could be that our secondary has room to improve greatly on the 3rd down front......nah. Can't be. Or can it?

"Butler calls 1st and 2nd downs, Tomlin makes the 3rd down calls."

That would be crazy and explains a lot. Tomlin has never been very good at situation football.

IMO the Steelers need to put Fitz into poison to make more plays. Teams are not throwing at him. Let him play the short man coverage.

That doesn’t make sense. A team can pick up a first down on any down. Why would a coach entrust and delegate only 2 of the downs to an assistant?
