SCB Steelers Quick Hitters for October 14th,2014

By steeldad

The Steelers are on their mandatory off day today. Otherwise I’d suggest they get their butts on the practice field. Mike Tomlin’s press conference is at Noon Eastern.

-As Steelers’ fans we are all struggling with what took place on Sunday. The truth of the matter is that there is not one single thing that is wrong right now. There are numerous problems on this team including Dick LeBeau, Todd Haley, Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert and anyone that wears a uniform.

-I agree completely with Dejan Kovacevic who wonders what else it’s going to take to get Ben Roethlisberger to finally blow his top. You can see the frustration building on his face. I applaud Roethlisberger for being a team-first guy but what does he have to lose by spouting the truth right now? It worked for Tom Brady two weeks ago.

-My first question to Tomlin today at his presser would be this; Who calls the plays in the red zone, Ben or Haley? I wouldn’t let him off the hook either when he answers “It’s situational.” That’s a cop-out.

-I suppose it’s hard not to, but some in the Pittsburgh media have favorites and those they dislike. It’s very apparent in times like these.

What stood out to me: "-Heath Miller has caught a pass now in 94 straight games."

I bet if you asked Ben or Heath about those records they'd say they would rather have the win.

I completely agree. Heath doesn't strike me a numbers guy: he goes out and plays tough, doing whatever it takes to help the team win.

The question I'd like to ask Rooney is, "In this day and age of WIN it now, how much longer will you stand for mediocre play and coaching?"
