Here's where I'm going to shorthand the Presser for today. Just highlights, Not that they respect this team and players and blah blah blah...
 
Started 5 minutes late

Interesting that he worked with Kyle Shannahan in Tampa
 
How man pithy sayings will Captain Cliché throw out?
 
Injuries:

Martavious Bryant? Didn't participate
Spence Warren Spewtat moore mcCain all practiced
 
Hoyer should be the starter.

Bell 20-25 times per game? He had 380 at MI State, so he can do it

Manzel Situationally? Ask Kyle. They are preparing to utilize him, but don't know if they will, though we'll be prepared.

Is it a win to have us prepare for Johnny? No because Hoyer can do it as well.

Hayden and Gilbert is it one of the most balanced D's in the conference? Yes they have a strong D especially Hayden, Jackson, Dansby, and Whitner.

Will Moats rotate in? He's capapble and it comes down to the game circumstances.

Returner? Punt Brown and archer Kick is Archer and Blount
Brown is a pro bowl returner, you use him if you can.

Keisel's performance vs Carolina and will he start Sunday? He was above the line vs Carolina. He's an asset and will be utilized

Bell and Blount punishment? The punishment is between the team alone.

Shazier? Will start. He'll get better each week since he's so young.
 
Good starts are significant.

He has talent. and putting him in the PS program (Player we picked up from Eagles)

Warren good to go who's the backup LS? Not James Harrison. We have a guy, but they're not naming him

Keisel coming in will it disrupt Heyward? Keisel may be the plyable guy. We may switch Keisel instead of Heyward.

Hubbard and JB were talked about developing practice squad players into roster players.

End of conference.

'Arrow pointing up' lost out to 'above the line'.
 
Returner? Punt Brown and archer

Was hoping not to see Brown on the field for PR, but this may force the teams to kick to Archer, who hasn't shown anything yet, to avoid punting it to the guy who went to the Pro Bowl doing it. Maybe some good potential for reverses on the PR?
 
Thanks for the update :) . Your capable.


Salute the nation
 
Tomlin is going with Brown as the punt returner because Archer was terrible at it. He is not worried about Brown getting injured as a PR, more Tomlin stupidity.

Is your diaper always sodded???


Thanks for the updates, Cope. Some of the new kids on the block forget about the time and effort your put forth as our resident secretary:p
 
I'm sure if Brown gets hurt returning punts you will be fine with it. Exposing your best player to possible injury on punt returns is just stupid very Tomlin like.
 
Franco I honestly believe if Tomlin were to win it all this year you would be on here bitching about it being the worst thing that could happen because now we are stuck with Tomlin!

You DO REALIZE that you're a fan of CONTACT TACKLE FOOTBALL, right??? Every player knows the risks of playing the game. I suppose you want Coach Tomlin to put down a Serta mattress in the backfield so that Ben can get sacked on it rather than the hard, hard groundsie woundsie...

Stop shaving your sack, Franco - it's revealing your female characteristics...
 
Win it all LMFAO getting to the playoffs is a stretch under this moron.

I have asked all his supporters to name ONE thing he does well'............ crickets
 
They both will return punts. Until Archer proves he can be trusted in regular season games Brown will share duties. Similar to things we've done in the past with young returners.

Now, that we've reestablished that - what exactly have YOU DONE for the team??? What about your contributions around here???

*and we wait*
 
Risking injury to your best player returning kicks is foolhardy and stupid but then again you seem to know a lot about that. Football is a contact game that is exactly why you limit potential injury to your best player by not exposing him to injury doing something highly dangerous and frankly rather unimportant. Tomlin can't find a good punter for years and years can't find PR for years to replace AB , Tomlin is again under the line. Two years in a row he has tried to get great college kickoff returners who were bad at punt returns to be NFL punt returners , another fail for the con man.

Ben is our best player, Retardo...
 
What has ANYONE on this board done for the team moron ? Care to list Switzer or Sieferys records when they were handed Super Bowl teams? Care to list the 12 bottom feeders we have lost to lately ? Care to mention the fact he has missed the playoffs 43% of the time with a franchise QB and the leagues number 1 defense under Lebeau, I thought not.

Actually, not crickets. I've listed many of them for you in the Practice Squad thread. It got so bad for you there that you just stopped posting in that thread. If you need a refresher though, I suggest you mosey on back over there and read up.
Personally, I'd suggest you read the following as the author raises some good points. In any event, thank you for your time and opinions, you are a valued contributor to these discussions.

Seems to me that your query has been answered - I've showed you that Coach Tomlin is ABOVE AVERAGE in both regular season wins and post season wins (rolled that all up into one answer for your simple mind).

My question, I'm sure I can safely say, OUR QUESTION, is, again, "what exactly have YOU DONE for the team???"

LOL - you used "mosey"...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SteelBuckeye again.
 
Hello Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, Desean Jackson the list is long(players who had established themselves at other positions but still were used on returns). We dont even know how they will be used yet. Like I said we have done this before.
