Shades is in midseason form already with his pressers. "Significant" and "significance'' were words of significance, "below the line" made an appearance, and the performance of ''obviously'' was above the line. Will post a link when it's up.
 
Tomlin opens by talking about poor execution on short-yardage play that set tone for the 33-3 loss.

Tomlin: "We laid an egg, if you will."

Watt and Haden are among guys that may be limited early in the week.

Injuries: Pouncey, JuJu may be limited early during the week. Roosevelt Nix is being evaluated for knee injury. He may miss this game "or two."

Tomlin on Bush/Diontae Johnson: "It was a solid start in terms of their ability to contribute to our efforts. We expect those guys to grow and grow in a big way."

"If we need a fullback, there will be somebody representing that position, I can assure you of that."

Tomlin said Steelers are not "opposed" to looking at defensive players or tight ends to play fullback this week

Asked how to evaluate Kam Kelly, Tomlin said "0-and-1"

T.J. Watt called the defensive signals in the game against the Patriots because of the inside linebacker rotation. He said that decision will be made "week to week." Watt is "capable guy" and called it a "non-issue."

Tomlin, on defense: "If you bust a few things, they strike up the band and you get your extra-point block team out."

Proof that wig's Tomlin Response Generator is spot-on.
 
This is contrary to what Tomlin said...How can he be in Mid-Season form if he clearly stated we were not ready for Prime Time ???
 
"If we need a fullback, there will be somebody representing that position, I can assure you of that."

Ummm moron, you need a full back!
 
I'm surprised they had TJ wearing the green dot. I also didn't like how they kept rotating Bush out on 3rd downs bringing Mark Barron in. Seems to lend to a lot of confusion. They should settle in on their starting ILB and have him wear the helmet, call the plays. Too much mixing and matching. To Coach's chagrin, not having Sean Davis out there seemed to be a big part of the problem.

This defense needs to identify their core guys and build around them. Who cares if Bush is a rookie, put him in there and let him learn by fire. He's a blue chip guy, let him prove it.
 
The only confusion this defense creates is with its own players, the opposition easily has it figured out after a handful of plays and of course we never make adjustments
 
Tomlinspeak is entertaining all on it's own, if you will.

If someone were to air the presser from past games vs New England where the Steelers lost, would it sound any different?
 
"If you bust a few things, they strike up the band and you get your extra-point block team out."

Can anyone translate this seriously? I can not even figure out what he is trying to say here

EDIT: nevermind I figured it out. Blow some coverages, other team scores, we send out XP block unit
