Starkey & Mueller

Mike Tomlin doesn’t think changes are needed for this defense. He doesn’t plan to take over ‘sole’ play calling for the unit and told reporters today that they will right the ship. We also pondered the decision to keep Nick Herbig off the field a lot over the last 2 games.

Tomlin Tidbit – How long is DeShon Elliott out? And to no surprise, Mike Tomlin made it sound like the team was losing prime Troy Polamalu.

Did Mike Tomlin throw some shade at Aaron Rodgers and the offense after the loss to Green Bay? The guys think the expectations on both sides of the ball should be drastically different, even with Rodgers at QB. Do we think they talk about this kind of thing during the week to avoid issues?

Tomlin-ism of the Week – The Steelers are seeing a familiar defensive coordinator on Sunday and Mike Tomlin was getting into the X’s & O’s.

Mike Tomlin was asked about the defensive play calling in today’s presser. Should Teryl Austin be fired? We think he’s just going to be this season’s scapegoat. How much would the defense really change upon his departure? It feels like there are bigger problems with that unit.

Mike Tomlin, PM Team Professors, and a conspiracy theory

PM Team Professors: Grading the Steelers performance against the Packers

Poni is not thrilled with Tomlin's press conference from last night's loss. Tomlin says they don't speak a lot when the teams lose, they don't even talk a lot when they win. When he goes into the season saying they will have a historic defense and are one of the worst in the league, the team's play is not backing up his talk. Breaking: Daniel Ekuale has a torn ACL.

Donny Football Debrief and a LOT on Aaron Rodgers

Are teams paying the highest for offense and defense getting a good return on investment?

Game Balls, Cam Heyward, and the Steelers defense

Aaron Rodgers said that he had to use a silent count yesterday, even though it was a home game. The Steelers are known for this happening to opposing teams.

Donny's Game Balls without Donny. Boswell gets Poni's third game ball. Rashan Gary gets Mullsy's third game ball. Poni's second game ball goes to Jordan Love. Mullsy gives Love his first game ball. Tucker Kraft gets Poni's first and Mullsy's second game ball.

Cam Heyward said "there was no fight in us" after the game last night. Poni says the Steelers were more interested in doing things after the whistle than during the game. Tomlin said that "we can't settle for field goals" even though he decides to send the kciker out when he shouldn't.

PM Team Plays of the Game.

The Steelers lost to the Packers at Acrisure last night. Is this rock bottom for the Steelers defense? They have the highest paid defense in the NFL and one of the worst stat lines. Tucker Kraft walked all over the Steelers defense who is now even more shorthanded with the loss of DeShon Elliott. Once again people are asking, is it time for a change on defense and at the head coaching position?

The PM Team makes their picks for the Week 8 NFL Season.

Aaron Rodgers says the game against the Packers isn’t a revenge game, but is that how he really feels? Plus we won a Marconi Award and we know when Poni will get BOTH of his nipples pierced.
