Kovacevic - Steelers worn path not working out

[Steelerfan81]

Yeah, but didn't he end up not playing the last four games or so?

No he played in every game and recorded tackles in every game.

Only Ray Lewis accumulates stats while injured.

What is frustrating is that after 4 front-7 players drafted in the 1st round in the previous 6 drafts (and 5 of Tomlin's 8 drafts overall) heading into 2014, our sack total is still the lowest it's been since 1989. That's bad.

Eventually there is distrust and skepticism with the team. I don't mind the Dupree pick. It's okay for how the draft fell. I understand the thinking he's better suits the "opening" at LOLB than Gregory. I don't have all the information on Gregory and his issues.

But I'm not falling for all the stupid rhetoric Tombert keep spewing every time we draft a linebacker and they get up to the podium the day after. I'm not falling for the stupid ****-sucking at his awesome ability and "couldn't believe he was there" and "how high he was on our board" bullshit.

It's time for Tombert and their front-7 draft picks to start playing like it and PRODUCE on the field. That means sacks, disruptions and turnovers. That means getting the offense off the field.

I've disagreed so much on philosophical issues with this front office and coach, it's getting old. I could care less if they pick Bud Dupree of Bud Weiser, I just want to see ******* results and less excuses.

Great post. It's all about results. People don't realize how bad the defense was last year even playing against a horrible schedule.
