new D formation possibly coming perhaps 2-4-5 scrap mode

[Coryea]

Regardless of who is calling plays, you need some leadership coming from your DC, Butler inspires nothing. Just a bump on a log that the players don't seem to respect. Nothing like LeBeau, who was loved greatly and inspired the players. Butler has been one of the Rooneys' bigger failures. They made Porter the scapegoat, when at the very least, Butler needed replaced.

What do you mean regardless of who is calling the plays? That's the guy that has to inspire and show leadership, hell Tomlin admitted to getting his call in late that resulted in a big mix up with Artie early in the season. No one knows if Butler is good or ****, he seemed to have some leadership as the LB coach. We could bring LeBeau from 2008 back and if Tomlin isn't going to allow him to call his own defense it wouldn't do any good. The leadership we need is from Tomlin to realize he's a ****** DC and step aside, that's the leadership we need and that would have the biggest impact.
