It's our intention as we sit here today to get Mason Rudolph an opportunity to start.

0:05.0

He's a veteran guy. He's a backup, but he's also a veteran guy.

0:10.0

He's been in our program a long time. He's here for those reasons. We got a great deal of comfort with him.

0:16.0

Why are we making the change man we don't like what we're looking at and the consistency of it?

0:21.0

What I mean is we're not scoring enough points.

0:24.0

Mike Tomlin, coach of the Steelers.

0:30.0

Going to Mason Rudolph, is this 2019? What year is it? How is he still on that team?

1:21.0

And I think it will be Tomlin leaving, not the Steelers firing him.

1:27.0

I felt it with Cower in 2006. It helped that Jerome Bettis in his first appearance with NBC said cowers out after this year.

1:35.0

He ended up being 100% right.

1:39.0

I feel like Tomlin, whether it's somebody calls from another team and tries to work a trade, whether it's a

1:46.6

mutual parting. They don't fire people in Pittsburgh. They would not fire him, but it's starting to feel like it's time for both sides to just go their separate ways.

1:58.8
