OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Killed Kenny!

[bigdaddyk88]

Pat McAfee Show talked about hiring Ben as the OC. Could you imagine?

He does know the offense....

Ben himself said its to much film and responsibility for him to be oc

 

[Smoke]

I'll bring it up again, getting a 2nd round pick for Claypool was beyond a steal.

This guy is getting kicked off the island by quite possibly the worst team in the league.

Ben himself said its to much film and responsibility for him to be oc

Ben was the poster child for the current offensive game plan: HOLD ON TO BALL UNTIL A RECEIVER COMES OPEN


Kp isn’t built to withstand the hits…..it’s that simple.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

The Steelers have had 26 first half possessions in the first 4 games...............and have ONE single possession inside the opponents RedZone.

They did at least bring up a good point that it's pretty much impossible to install a new offense mid season. Anybody they replace, will be a replacement from within. Then we all know what will happen at the end of the season, they'll just be promoted to full time and no coaching search will ever happen.

Rinse and repeat.

Here's the clip for anybody that wants to listen.

Good one…

Joe Starkey: Let’s hope Mike Tomlin was kidding at this week’s news conference, too

Mike Tomlin admitted last week that he wasn’t being entirely truthful at his Tuesday news conference a week earlier. Let’s hope he was kidding...

When Ben ran Canada's offense he had the quickest average release time of any qb in the NFL.

In general, did you just not watch the latter part of Ben's career? The organization went away from an Arians style offense so Ben would take less hits and unload the ball quicker.

Getting rid of the ball quickly requires a qb who can make reads quickly and they haven't had that since vet Ben.

The Steelers have had 26 first half possessions in the first 4 games...............and have ONE single possession inside the opponents RedZone.

And THAT includes two games where more than half of those games were garbage time when we should have been able to (relatively) easily march down the field to at least get in the red zone - like every team does against us when we have a sizable lead. And now this lowers the offensive bar to below mean sea level where breaking the 20 pt barrier is going to be (wrongfully) viewed as a(nother) Matt Canada success story. Just a really unfortunate feedback loop to be stuck in… for the past 3 seasons.

The style of offense Tomlin wants is what the rams and 49ers run
The next oc is passing game coordinator Qb coach from Detroit Rams 49ers or Philly he wants play action qb movement sweeps motion using the TE he wants rpo

KP can withstand hits, but the difference between he and Ben is Ben could scramble and shift around and never let his eyes leave downfield. It was almost like he had two sets of eyes. Once KP gets pressured, he stops looking downfield. I think that comes at some point, but it certainly isn't here right now.

 

[JTG]

Curious as to where Claypool will land. He still has potential in the right system. A team like KC or Philly would be an interesting place for him.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Does anyone even care what Tomlin says anymore?

I have zero expectations for the remainder of the season.

Oh, they will win enough games to perhaps go .500 and hit that all important never had a losing game record. Likely not, but maybe.

Even if they do though who cares?

Another wasted season and its barely begun.

I'm still waiting for them to unleash hell.

Claypool is a bust and he won't do well anwhere else.
He's finding out that you can't get by on talent alone at this level. Add him to the billion other athletes who refuse to accept this notion that studying and effort are required at the pro level.

Typically I’m cool with good teams taking flyers but he’s a guy I wouldn’t touch. Complete loser. Not cutting a hard worker to bring him in.

Gerry Dulac in chat: "Art Rooney II lets his head coach make all staff decisions, almost without fail. I say 'almost' because at some point, probably after the season, there will be more than a discussion if this continues. And, don't worry, Mike Tomlin won't be the one who is gone."

We're all idiots. Spirts Illustrated has come to the conclusion that Canada is not a problem.

At what point has Canada ever remembered how to call a good game in the NFL?

Makes zero sense.

The whole coaching staff needs to be fired. The franchise is stale as all hell now. Nibbling around the corners isn't going to do anything.

ESPN's Marcus Spears Says Mike Tomlin’s Offensive Philosophy is Outdated. "You got score 40 to win now....You can no longer go out on the field and stop people and think that you’re going to score 20 and run the ball 40 times and win football games."

Tomlin knows better than everyone.

Smartest guy in the room.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

You'd think he would understand that since the last three times he led a team to the playoffs his defense gave up like 40+.

KP to start

Steelers' Pickett says he expects to play Sunday

Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett, who's dealing with a bone bruise to his left knee, said he expects to play against the Ravens.

I don't understand the rush of throwing out a 2nd year QB with a gimpy leg. Especially since there is a bye next week.

KP won't make it through the season at this rate

Must be the only one in that room ?
