Combative, confrontational people

No, but I'm pretty sure Tomlin injured TJ Watt so he couldn't play half the year... ;)

I'm pretty sure that a great coach would figure out some way, schematically, to not be completely dependent on a single defensive player's injury status. ;)

Tomlin needs to start consulting TJ Watt for some good Tomlinisms. Watt's "throwing his face in the fan" comment about Robinson was perfect.

That's a Tomlinism. He's said it before. lol

Many of us here thought that Bush was not starting material this season, yet Tomlin continued to start him for 15 weeks. Many of us also thought that Robinson deserved a chance to play much sooner. It only took the head coach almost 4 months to figure that out.

Just curious: Did Tomlin have anything to do with the Steelers losing 6 out of their first 8?

Not one of us on this board know .000000000001% of what Tomlin knows regarding running an NFL team.

When you have a DPOY caliber player on your D, you feel the loss when they aren't playing. You think Reed is a replacement for TJ? Not even close...

Steelers just continuing their tradition of losing games in which TJ Watt does not play or leaves early.

It is VERY hard to account for these kind of players absence on the field. NO team has that kind of depth caliber and can’t afford to As they’d be playing.

If you think about it, no team even has that caliber starters arguably.

I’d expect a drop off and I’m sure the STEELERS know better than anyone else of how to try and cover that hole in his absence. It’s a hell of a lot harder to mask than many here realize and NOT to create another hole to cover the first. (Like put two players to cover the single responsibility, always blitzing from that side…..etc.)

No! We know Better! just because we dont go to training camp every day, practice every day, do this for a living, we can automatically know what players should start, what plays to call, what schemes to plan for. TJ out? plug in the other guy. no problem.

I should not have said we. I cannot. I dont know enough to run a NFL team unlike a few of us on here. I can watch a game with the best of them. I played football for 7 years so I know the basics but nothing on the level of an NFL coach or SN poster.

Really? That's a lot of zeros, bro.

No doubt.

So make adjustments. Move people around. Blitz more. Try to use an iota of innovation to compensate for the loss of a great player, instead of just continuing to "do what we do," because simply plugging in Reed for Watt is obviously not going to work.

But I only know a fraction of a billionth of a percent of what Tomlin knows, so I guess I shouldn't have an opinion on the matter.

Bro, perhaps i might have exaggerated the zeros to get the point made. Bro

Yeah, you just might have, bro. Just slightly, bro.

Seriously. you are a pretty smart person. everyone can pick up on that. But there is no way you know anything close to coaching an NFL team than the absolute worst coach in NFL history. Including Jeff Saturday. Bro

Exactly. There are a couple keystone players on this team with a huge drop off if they can't play. On D, we can't replace Heyward or Watt. Fitz is amazing, but KZ had a fantastic game starting for him.
