Wonder what Todd has to say about Tomlin. We know Arians hates him. Arians wife Really Hates him. I'm curious. Lol
I have one: Never had a winning season without Ben
todd's father never was a coach. he was more scouting / player personal.
he drafted the players, noll taught them.
The local media are finally waking up a bit.
Pickett may not be the true franchise guy, but good god some teams strike out even worse than the Steelers may strike out on Pickett.
The worst case scenario with Pickett is that he just doesn’t have the talent to be a NFL starter, but he still seems like a great leadership guy and a good locker room guy. Wilson was drafted #2 overall and also seems to be a shit leader.
“This game really tests you mentally, obviously physically, but mentally especially, really when you’re having not a great year as a team, as a player, as an offense, whatever that may be.”
Tomlin sucks at talking. This is literally headache worthy.
Wonder if Cincy ever ran out of plays like the Steelers…
yeah! todd grew up with the rooney kids and are still close.The national press will just say that he had a losing season because he had to deal with the inconsistencies of a rookie QB and that TJ Watt missed 6 games.
I couldn't remember exactly what it was, I just remember Todd saying he grew up around the Steelers and was at training camps when he was a kid. So thinking about it again, he does have a history with the team and thus I would now put him in that category.

Remember how he "blew the Rooney's out of the room" over the other candidates in 07?
Really?
not sure he has the personality for the job.**** it Make Todd head coach. He's not my choice for long-term solution but hes better than what we currently have.

So watching the 22 teams aren’t honoring KP on any of the keep reads. I hope they add some boots and KP uses his legs more.This isn’t exactly news and I’ve been harping on it for the better pet of two seasons now - Canada has zero feel for the game and how to call plays.
I made this comparison before, but he’s like a 1200 chess player trying to outmaneuver grandmasters.
He just seems to have no clue.
Reid definitely has a personality.Prove me wrong...Belicheck and Reid have no personality. Not saying he's as good as them either, hes definitely not a Clown like Tomlin
Burrow was on Colin’s podcast talking about KP and what his next steps need to be Burrow said there’s a lot he can grow on but it took him 3 years to learn about throwing Wr open and for it to really click on nfl to college open. He said the coverage is way to good in the nfl some times you have to throw to a spot and know(trust your Wr is going to be there.Wonder if Cincy ever ran out of plays like the Steelers…

It was nice to see some deep crossers back on the menu I think they will finally start having the Wr line up and all 3 spots so DJ and GP will see some slot targets to get away from Cb1 and double coverage.
I am interested with how effective the Cincinnati zone and bailing out of the blitz confusing KP jo. he will look against the colts who play a ton of zone
Reid definitely has a personality.
We haven’t been a play action team in years. I know Ben hated playing with his back turned. KP does better on the run throwing then I thought he would in the nfl. KP did a ton of pistol play action in college but not under center.Ya there is about a step and half between college open and NFL open.
KP didn’t work with any of these receivers extensively in camp or preseason, which makes a big difference with timing.
He seems to be developing chemistry with Pickens and Muth, but doesn’t seem to trust Johnson yet.
I think they ran a naked boot the other day, but nothing came of it if I recall.
If this offense can keep running decently, Canada really needs to mix in some conventional play action.
KP needs to learn to play with his back to the D at times, which I barely saw him doing his last year at Pitt when I watched all of his snaps.

I'm still not that worried about Pickett. Until we get a real coordinator in here, I can't hold anything against anyone on the offense. These guys are getting fed to the wolves right now.
He’s been getting better, fans are just fickle.
I also looked around the league the other day and there are maybe about 3-4 true elite franchise QBS, if we exclude Brady and Rodgers who won’t be around much longer.
Mahomes and Burrow - No doubt
Allen - Ya, but jury is out on being a money guy
Herbert - Same as Allen
Maybe Lawrence and a few other young guys get in this tier one day, but who knows.
Russel Wilson - Not sure what he is right now… old?
LJ - Struggles in the playoffs
Kyler Murray - he’s 25-29 as a starter
We’ll see how KP develops, but I think we are being unrealistic that he needs to be an elite franchise type guy.
Only a few teams even have a guy like that and Mahomes is the only one who is a proven SB winner.
I don't want what I said to be taken that way - that's not what I'm saying. There are QBs that are part of the machine and there are QBs that make the machine run. Kenny is a QB that isn't going to will a team to victory like Ben. We all knew that when he was drafted. He's not skilled in that way. Though I hate the comparison, he's very much like a Kirk Cousins in that way...good team around him, the team is awesome. Poor team around him, the team is average.Matt Canada is absolute trash, no doubt. But Kenny has been disappointing overall. The whole Pitt connection makes so many people overlook his poor play. Maybe he improves by the end of the season, but I don’t know how anyone feels great about him as our starter as of today. Now, you guys are basically saying you don’t need a good quarterback to win. We are lowering the bar for Kenny already.
They have to trade Johnson - there’s absolutely nothing there between he and Pickett.
