I hate that they cut Skipper.

This day started off great, then went off the rails in a hurry. *sigh*

I like the promotion of Holton, but I was excited about Skipper.

Cutting Skipper is retarded. Playing Chickillo ahead of Adeniyi/Skipper even more so.

The coaching of this team is maddening.

Sure could have used some of Skipper on the opposite side of Watt. DUPREE was a non-factor the entire game. He looked like Jarvis Jones getting blown up and taken wide and passed Brady every play...

I've had about enough of Dupree and his disappearing act as well. If he was remotely good he'd be taking advantage of the one on one matchups he gets. Instead he disappears the majority of the time. Dupree is a really nice backup in this league, not a consistent starter. We need wrecking balls at OLB not dudes that disappear all game long.

Great decisions by Tomlin/Colbert. Cut a dude that had 5 sacks in the preseason and looked like a human wrecking ball. Keep fucking Chickillo around with his 62 career tackles, and 7 career sacks in 5 years time...

Stupid. All so we could keep Holton, who hasn't been able to stick with two teams prior to us. Yep, let's sign that guy and let another team snatch up a promising young pass rusher.

now you know why i am always ranting about the steelers hanging on to mediocre second stringers just because they are vets, instead of giving younger guys a chance. if a guy doesn't look like a quality future starter after 2 or 3 years, they should be replaced. if a guy like McCullers or chickillo cant dominate against second or third stringers in preseason then it is time for them to go.
