Another Tweet From Batch Adds Fuel to the Steelers Fire

This was yet another direct shot across the bow of Haley and the Steelers front office when you really think about it. Combined with his comments in the past, one has to wonder how often Batch still talks with Ben Roethlisberger or quarterbacks’ coach Randy Fichtner.

Batch played with the Steelers for one season during Haley’s tenure and that is certainly enough time for him come to his own conclusions but why keep kicking the dead horse a couple of years later? All I can figure is that Batch knows more about what goes on in the Steelers’ facility right now than we may have thought otherwise.

His comment didn’t reek of any such knowledge because I or anyone else that follows the Steelers could have tweeted the same thing but still, why make the comment if you have no dog in the fight?

I believe Batch still has close ties with members of the offense and offensive staff and whether or not Roethlisberger is among them doesn’t matter. Something still doesn’t sit right with Batch and the fact that he keeps commenting about it only makes it more obvious.
