I can understand third and short. Their power run game has issues. But they are making their own problems inside the 10. Be what you are. Even though your interior three should be able to move bodies they do not seem to. So don't waste downs. You have one of the most accurate throwers ever. Bring in multiple receivers/ TE. Spread them out and if you like the run numbers smash it up the gut. Otherwise slant, rubs etc. But for god sake quit wasting downs on runs and pass pro where they dont care about your run.

That would require coaching and perhaps, change up of philosophy…………

You know how hard that would be to do for this coaching staff..?

Many of us as fans can see this plain as day, but professionals are to stubborn to se or incorporate it.

How about in the first half, when its 3rd and 2, we go 5 wide no RB. And then have no patterns that are 5 yrds or less. Dont worry aaron , this sieve should contain them.

I found a clip of the same play, Steelers DID have short routes but Fautanu played OLE' with his man and Rodgers got pressured before he could throw it,, had to roll out and scramble and missed the throw downfield.. my error.

1. The Steelers don't practice like a team at training camp that wants to have a dominant running game. Many of us have seen what that type of offseason involves because we used to have it.

2. Despite the investment in the offensive line, they look like a mess more often than not run blocking.
 
They dont have enough lead in the pencil to get tough yards and to stop them. Pretty tough to have your offense predicated on play action when no one really fears the run. Even harder to apply pressure and play defense when you are getting rinsed with the inside run game. I cannot believe they won't at least try Holcomb. That's the part thst really pisses me off too. It's not players play. It's who's paid or what hype they have play.

Where the hell was TE Jonnu Smith today? He was missing in action.

Your boy Litos said he's a legit #2 (I disagree....he's no Bowers or Kittle or Kelce in his prime). You might wanna holler at him.

It's funny that the real Dunning Kruger Effect is now with the Coaching Staff led by Tomlin and not the amateurs in the cheap seats.

Im not sure but I think that when you dig in the pit of despair for at least a generation, that you begin to reach the Factory of Sadness.

So it's on the way to Cleveland.....I think you stop in Buffalo/Detroit en route.
 
A pittsburgh podcaster said in the last 10 games tomlins defense has given up >300 yds per game. Also > 28 points per game.

And not a damn thing will change this season and yet fans will still buy tickets, attend the games, buy the merch, dance around like fools in the stadium when they play Renegade (which does NOTHING to amp up this Steelers team anymore) and then congregate on forums and ***** and moan about how historically bad this team is. We Pittsburgh fans get what we deserve with the Steelers and Pirates because the collective is loyal and sentimental to an absolute fault.

If you want to see REAL change, turn off the TV, Radio, and stop buying tickets and attending games. Maybe then we can come here to Steelernation.com and rejoice instead of using this awesome site as group therapy session every damn day.

The biggest problem is the bargain bin coaching staff operating as yes men to Tomlin. If this season goes sideways, Kahn/Weidl have to get involved and hire a real staff, if MT doesn’t like it, I hear there are 25 teams that would hire him in 5 minutes.

Surely there are more than 25 high schools in Western Pennsylvania…

LMAO, Tomlin referred to himself as a strategist in the presser today. HAHAHAHAHA

He’s either delusional or he was the captain of the short bus growing up. Just like him saying the OL had performed fine. Unfucking real.

So, what you're saying is that my current GPS will be of no help on this particular journey.
