Tomlin Takes – What else did Mike Tomlin say to the media earlier today? Mike Annichine from Magee Women’s Research Institute & Foundation joined the show. Magee and the breast cancer awareness fund are the big charity involved in the Poni Nipple Piercing event tomorrow night. Mike talked about the ongoing battle with breast cancer and how much of a positive impact has been made in that fight in the last 10 years. Mike is a big fan of the show and loves that he can be part of the event. Mike appreciates Poni’s ability to turn lemons into lemonade here and is sad he won’t be in attendance tomorrow – but that’s because he will be part of a breast cancer vaccine discussion in New York. Name Game.

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. What is the big issue with the Steelers? Donny Football Debrief – Daniel Jones told The Pat McAfee Show he had to go watch Steelers film. I have a feeling he will like what he sees.

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? Fans sound off on Steelers issues. 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.

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. Who’s at most fault here with the defensive 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, 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
