The Steelers are fighting for their playoff lives this upcoming Sunday. So you’d be sure everyone in the Steelers organization is focused on taking care of business Sunday against the Bengals and hoping for a little help. Well….that’s partly true, Keith Butler doesn’t sound so hot.
The Steelers defensive coordinator was doing an interview on a show operated by the Steelers when he said this about Tyler Eifert. Who by the way is on injured reserve.
“I think he’s very good. I think he’s up there. He can go deep on you. He does a good job of catching the ball downfield, all that stuff. So he’s going to be a problem for us to cover”
Yikes, talk about not having awareness. It isn’t too good of a look when your defensive coordinator speaks on a player currently on injured reserve as if he’s going to play that upcoming game. It’s even worse when they speak of it and the game you’re playing that upcoming week can determine your season.
Here’s to hoping this is just a lapse in thought and Butler is focused on the game Sunday against the Bengals.
