hmmm, wonder what that was about?

[Coryea]

I can't remember which sports guy it was I heard on the fan yesterday, but he said as he was heading into the locker room for post game stuff, he saw Tomlin talking to Rooney, he said Tomlin threw his hands in the air and said, "you just can't do that"

 

[GoSteelers]

fire tomlin?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Rooney - "Why can't you beat teams with horrible records Mike?"

Tomlin - "YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT!"

 

[BLITZ]

Rooney: We are going to bring in Bill Cowher as a "consultant"

 

[Wingman]

Coordinators being replaced? Ben being traded? Ben being demoted/ back up to start. We know it does not involve firing Tomlin because they sure could do that. Maybe they will cancel the rest of the season to save embarrassment. Players get fined for losing? At the end of the season they cut everyone but Bell and Brown? Tomlin is banned from participating in the draft?

 

[AggieSteel]

Rooney: "Mike, have you tried instilling a sense of urgency in your team?"
Tomlin: "YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT!"

 

[Wingman]

I have a suspicion we will find out soon, maybe in today's presser.

Rooney: "Why don't you go for it on 4th down instead of kicking another @#$%ing field goal??"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"
Rooney: "Why??"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"
Rooney: "Why don't you get a real nose tackle"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"
Rooney: "Why don't you protect good young DE talent by putting them on the 53-man roster??"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"
Rooney: "Why don't you put garbage non-talent like Landry Jones through waivers to protect that good young DE talent??"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"
Rooney [to self[: "Why didn't I interview somebody else before hiring this ***-clown ... ????"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"
Rooney: "Tomlin, you idiot, I wasn't even talking to you!!!"
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"

 

[Punxsutawney]

Hopefully, it was a response to something along the lines of Rooney laying out a "no playoffs and your *** is out of here" ultimatum, but I doubt it.

 

[steelhurt]

Who knows what the hell that was all about but cool shades better be ******* careful with Artie. He ain't his father. Artie is much more reactionary and not as patient as Dan so cool shades better be careful not to alienate this guy. Like all of these owners in todays' NFL, they are all very wealthy, arrogant and egotistical and do not ever want to be disrespected especially in front of their players and the media. That's professional suicide if that scenario actually did play out.

 

[Superman]

obviously he took Mike's Ray Bans away until after the season.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Butler taking over for Lebeau for the last part of the season? "You just can't do that" because the damned under performing players might mutiny.
Haley replaced by Fichner? "You just can't do that" because the offense is so highly ranked, even though it doesn't score points until the game is essentially lost.
Require that McClendon get some time at DE and McCullers get time at NT? "You just can't do that" because Lebeau doesn't trust rookies to know his system; need 3 yrs and all that don't you know.

 

[fogdoctor]

Rooney: "Mike, I need you to unleash some hell."
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!!"

 

[Vader]

Sounds like a player/coach issue. I don't expect anything until the season ends.

 

[Spike]

" bench Ike and Troy"

"you just can't do that"

Rooney: We are going to bring in Bill Cowher as a "consultant"

that was a good one!

 

[F83]

enough with the power control Lebeau has let the young players (Tuitt, Mccullers) play and simplify the plays when they are in the game it is time the rest of the way we see a DL of eitier
LE Hayward NT Mclendon RE Mccullers or LE Heyward NT Mcullers RE Mclendon, and Cam Thomas only plays at max 15 plays a game.

 

[Xc944]

There is hope for a good Christmas after all

Would rather see Tuitt at the other End with McCullers and McLendon sharing time at NT and rotating in at End. Don't think they will be getting much from Jumpy Geathers' nephew and they get absolutely crap from Thomas.

Interesting. Conspiracy Wig has a theory.

"Mike. I want you to go out there and try to beat Cinci. If that doesn't work out though, I want you to start the young guys the rest of the season and see to it that we get the best possible draft spot we can, you know what I mean?"

"You can't DO that!"

 

[hamster]

Rooney: Mike, I'm ordering pizza, and they will have anchovies on them.

Tomlin: You just can't do that!

 

[TAS]

I'd like it to be "we're putting the coordinators back in the box where they belong... enough of your stupid ideas"

 

[Litos]

Rooney: "Go tell James Harrison he's a *****"

Tomlin: You just can't do that!

 

[bigtwnvin]

A coach telling the President of an NFL Football Club "You just can't do that" sounds fishy and suicidal.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Thread of the week right here. This has the potential to get good.

Rooney: "Hand the ball off to the fullback once in a while."
Tomlin: "You just can't do that!"

 

[Griswald]

Rooney - "I'm going on Steeler Fever and posting bad things about you, Mike"
Tomlin - "You just can't do that"
