Butler called out Devin Bush

Devin Bush is a Defensive version of Jamarcus Russell. NO HEART! NO PASSION! NO BRAINS!
 
This Bush needs trimmed from the roster, at first you may be excited around Bush, but then you realize this Bush isn't that good and is washed up.

Uh, no. You said that we wouldn't even be having this conversation about how bad Bush is, if Alualu and Tuitt were playing. That's more than a contributing factor.

Bush isn't a system-dependent linebacker. He just isn't very good. And if the Steelers somehow hold your belief, and drafted him with the tenth pick as a linebacker who needs help from the line, well, gee...I guess they're paying the price for that stupidity right about now.

No THey would help make him and the defense as a whole look better and we would not be quite so angsty about him as he tries to get back to at least where he was. Them being gone does two things, one it directly impacts his performance and exposes his lack of block shedding, two it makes it more likely he has to make the play again accentuating the visible problems. I not saying he would be great if they were here but it would change the nature of the conversation as he wouldn't be such glaringly obvious hole as the defense works better around him.
 
They need to CUT Bush. Period
 
Steelers are a complete joke. Let me make decisions on who starts weekly. I would rather lose with a hungry practice squad guy that gives effort every play than some name brand player that is worthless. No one fears their job on this team. They are soft..
 
Softer than Charmin.

I'll take heart and 100% effort and commitment over lazy talent anyday.
 
Yeah From what I saw today this is more than ability or injury. He was all but jaking it today. I think he wasn't really trying all out.
 
Problem is Bush is not that talented and has no heart. It is not an either or.
 
i always hear this rationalization that Bush needs the DL to keep him clean to make tackles. Sure that would make his job easier but it seems to me if you could keep the ILB clean, you could plug in quite a few guys and be successful. If i'm spending a top 10 pick, that guy better be able to fight through blocks.

i do think Tomlin puts far too little emphasis on football smarts.
 
Tomlin has no football smarts and can't identify them in others.

To have any degree of success, you need a playmaker at inside linebacker. At the very least, you need a solid tackler. Bush is neither, no matter who he plays with.

The Steelers should consider bringing back Ernie Holmes and LC Greenwood, maybe that'll help your boy reach his full potential.
 
Bush's arms are literally too short to wrap up many ballcarriers. That's why he usually just tries to deliver a hit and with him being small, the runner sometimes just bounces off and keeps going.

Yet our brain trust traded up and wasted draft picks for the midget.

Pretty sure the whole thing will come to a head this week. The video of him on the PAT says everything. You cannot have a guy like that on your team. He clearly wants out.

I'd let anyone go who wasn't giving 100% on the field. That's your job. You can't win with a bunch of half ***** collecting checks.

I would bench him. A lot invested to just kick him to the curb. Will he improve? Wait and see and if nothing else trade him later on down the road.
 
Yet Jackson is 37-10 as a starter and is on pace to throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards . Money well spent
