    needless to say, I'm very worried about our secondary this season...
    Yea, I think you are more on the mark lol.

    Outside of Gay our entire secondary is a pretty big question mark. I am no more sold on Mitchell than I am on Thomas. He hasn't done anything to inspire confidence.

    Ain't that the truth. I'm hoping that Boykin can become another one that we can at least count on but I haven't seen enough from him yet to show me that.
    I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest. If you can't take it, you shouldn't play!- Jack Lambert

    Our entire defense is a question mark. Let's see if anyone comes alive tonight, but so far, might as well have 11 pylons out on the field.

    I also question the wisdom, or lack thereof, of not playing the starting unit together at all during the pre season. How do they build chemistry? How do they build the lines of communication? Build the tendencies of how they play.

    Might be a TON of wisdom in it. Let me spin you a scenario.

    Tomlin and Butler knew Brady was coming back. Brady has a history of shredding our defense. Our defense is going to look lost out there, thus making Brady lost because neither he or us know what we are doing.

    Brilliant.......Maybe.

    Sept 10th will provide the answers. However, I think, like last year, we take a good 4-5 regular season games to realize where we have to play, how we have to tackle and how to communicate. And maybe, just maybe, suspend ping pong privileges.

    I'm starting to lean more and more to the "he's terrible" side of the argument...

    The most concerning player on this defense, easily, is Shamarko Thomas. #Steelers

    Shark will get first quarter of the season. From there, who knows. Could be benched

    Cue Brady and Belichick evil laugh when they watch the tape.

    Shark will have a target on him for next week.

    Tomlin is an idiot if Thomas starts the game against the Patriots next week....

    I know it's pre-season and all.....BUT.....(39) Total Offense at the 1/2 is pretty damn troubling !

    It means nothing....No starters played this game.....The first team offense has scored 3 TD on 6 drives in the preseason.....

    Well, that is a relief.... I just found the damn game here on=line a little bit ago. DIdn;t see the first 1/2,

    Hopefully the starters are playing lights out in practice !

    Normally 1st string would play one series but with us playing in seven days no starters on offense saw any time. Back up oline looking horrible. SHAMarko looking like he doesn't want to be here
