The only comfort now is that even the media and former players are talking about the Steeler coaching problem, with recognition that the problem is deeper than just being on the coordinator level.

Questions: 1. What are your potential free agent signings? 2. Do the Steeelers sign a veteran WR, RT, Center to go with draft picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off the mock I would assume they would sign a vet RT/CB and cut AROB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only comfort now is that even the media and former players are talking about the Steeler coaching problem, with recognition that the problem is deeper than just being on the coordinator level. Objectively, every coach has strengths and weaknesses. I understand that many are DONE with Coach Tomlin. They are at a point of no repair. Yet there are others like myself who are still weighing that. The non losing record is not a small feat, but it is not up to snuff with our fan base because "our standard of the standard is much higher (Super Bowl win). There is something about today's athlete and the money $$$ that is earned. It has been discussed and theorized if that doesn't affect the "passion and desire." You lose a game, it is just a game. You come home to a million dollar home, friends and family, and you celebrate anyway. I am not saying it should be doom, gloom, and punishment after every loss. However, some people give a dang more than others. Chris Hoke just brought up a good point about veteran days off. How impactful is a leader when he isn’t practicing every day? Tomlin’s culture is a soft one… I love Hoke, but I don't agree with some of his takes. I think you can use data and intelligence to preserve your players. Example: one area that Coach Tomlin has changed is in the RB position. He was always a strong proponent of the "Bell Cow Back." Now he sees that you can be even more effective with two solid backs. Maybe we keep Lev Bell for another year or two with this thinking? Letting players get rest is optimal in preserving your players for game day and not just practice. Big Ben is an example of this. IF the team protected him better when he was younger and employed that thinking earlier, perhaps his arm and legs are at a better point along with his football IQ and maturity at that stage (2018-2021). NFL could go a long way in improving the game by eliminating the game day roster and letting all 53 players dress. If they really care about player safety, you shouldn't have to guess or gamble which player or position you may potentially need depth. While I am on a rant about the NFL. It is also more than time to get full time paid refs. The integrity of the game and calls would be much better overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather sign Higgins for WR after we trade dionte and use that salary for Higgins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How impactful is a leader when he isn’t practicing every day? Tomlin’s culture is a soft one… this is a good observation by Hoke. I never cared for this, unless the player is a bit injured and quite old and hits the weight room instead of course. tomlin is Mr.529 and his vets have it easy, WR's whine, they underestimate their opponents and believe their own BS , real pros can't tolerate this (Minkah) , that describes this culture. maybe when they are getting a defeat by 3+ TD's next time, they can get some popcorn and pop for the players that are chatting and laughing on the sidelines. Maybe ask Minkah to see if they want ice for their pop , or better yet , a straw I preferred when ben was laughing with the kicker before half in the jags playoff game, that much have been the example to lead by. When ben was going on about the current culture, they should have had a picture in a picture clip showing him laughing on the sidelines with the kicker just before half all while being completely useless in that first half of the playoff game. He's showing his character now, for those that didn't already know Edited December 16, 2023 by 3rivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would also mean GP is let go and can go down the field occasionally and Muth gets the seam passes. with the offence we have seen the last weeks with mitch and if mitch starts from here till the end, then yes 0-4 and they hopefully throw snowballs at tomlin and mitch in the home game if there is snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeler Hitman Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Is Matt Canada calling red zone plays for the Vikings? 🫣 Nick Mullins is channeling his inner Mitch Tribisky gunslinging. The game shouldn't even be close. Back-up QB's are back-ups for a reason. That first and goal decision to throw with a back-up QB who just got away with a pick six. 🫣🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
