OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 5 and 2 Justin who? Hand the Fields to Wilson

[bigdaddyk88]

Yeah and I’m not opposed to double dipping at WR but I’d like to see them go after an established guy and not rely on a rookie to solve the problem. Someone like Metcalf or Higgins.

But if you look at the offense:

QB: Wilson
RB: Draft/Warren
WR: Pickens, Vet, Austin, Wilson, rookie/whoever
LT: Fautanu/Jones
LG: Seumalo
C: Frazier
RG: McCormick/FA
RT: Jones

Yup not seeing a ton of changes happening there and certainly not enough spots to justify spending every resource they have on offense.

Heck i could see them trading Issac and talk to Daniels about a new contract slide Mccmorick to lg and draft another o line depth guy.
However yeah outside of 25 million dollar FA wr you’re not going to spend on offense
Defense you can actually cut larry and get a better younger DL guy plus draft a guy. Sign a real nb and DJ as cb 2 draft a cb to pumb Pierre ofd the roster
Draft a te to help to get Pruitt and Heyward off the roster

"His defenders will tell you the Steelers have actually overachieved this year, that Tomlin’s brilliance is why we should be extremely proud of the 10 wins the Steelers have and no other coach in the NFL could have pulled off what he did. Of course, those same defenders three weeks ago were proclaiming the Steelers the best team in the AFC and the most dangerous team in the playoff field."


This is the truest of truths in this article.

We can wait and see on where this team is because he has time to rescue some stuff but right now, the repetition of previous seasons' problems is tough to take.

I mean most of the people had Tomlin pegged ... 3-4-5 years ago.

I haven't watched more that a few quarters and this is exactly the same team as it has been from Ben to whomever.

No Strategy, all emotions, and it shows vs. any tactical coach. He gets his a$$ handed to him. That article is spot on but he'll dodge a bullet somehow. It's exactly the same with Sullivan and the Pens.

DK has also opined that it’s him. If true, playing Sutton over Bishop is inexcusable but the most Tomlin thing ever.

Yeah Chuck Pagino former colts coach said the same about sutton over bishop. He said Sutton is way to flat footed and can’t run. He also said he doesn’t want to see 42 ever again or 26 try to play m2m

This team IS strong when it's healthy. I don't think there is anything wrong in saying that. The issue is TJ gets banged up and the defense is toast, Pickens is out and the offense is anemic. It can't be that way.
