Side lines yelling

[Steeltime]

Report now says Haley was yelling at Danny Smith. "STFU Danny! STFU!"

In looking at the video, it appears that Haley is yelling, "Get the @#$%ing play in. Shut the @#$% up." That actually makes a lot of sense in context, since the Steelers took a timeout, then had a delay of game.

Who is responsible for getting the play in though? Haley himself.

Steelers Growing Tired Of Manufactured Mini-Dramas

PITTSBURGH -- Jesse James walking through the locker room with Danny Smith's prized Special Teams Stick probably tells us more about NFL coaching than whatever made James spin immediately upon hearing the dreaded double-thump of a kick block.
James, of course, ran down a potential Indianapolis Colts two-point play after they had blocked an extra point Sunday.
You may recall the Jacksonville game, at the end of the first half, when Smith and James walked off the field squabbling and James needed to be held back by David DeCastro from going after the special-teams coach.
James explained that situation in a better light yesterday.
"I didn't get a great punch on [blocking] the guy and he thought I totally missed him," James said. "It was a misunderstanding. We took care of it in the locker room, made a little adjustment, and it worked out fine."
And here was James, a month later, carrying Smith's pride-and-joy, The Stick, the symbol of the best special teams player in a win, which James won for a hustle play that saved the Steelers a valuable two points. It also means James is Smith's captain Thursday night.
Didn't they want to fight not too long ago?
"We've gone back and forth a few times since I've been here but we have a lot of respect for each other in the way we work," James said. "That was just a hidden moment kind of thing. Once we got to the locker room we both apologized and shook her off. It didn't go any farther than that sideline."
It's an example of how NFL coaches and players deal with stress at difficult moments, and how they get over each other for the good of their team, and frankly the good of their respective futures in the league.
It comes up now because Todd Haley was caught Sunday by a camera yelling, presumably at Ben Roethlisberger. It's been the cause celebre this week in a city that's seemingly obsessed with finding drama on a weekly basis.
Haley was asked about it Tuesday.
"I wasn’t yelling at Ben," he said. "My daughter sent me the clip and said 'Dad, why were you yelling at him?' I wasn’t yelling at Ben. I was yelling at an unnamed coach that I will not talk about right now."
Was that coach Mike Tomlin?
"No," Haley said. "We lined up wrong. Not just one guy but multiple guys lined up wrong. When we had the timeout, everybody didn’t come to the sideline and the same couple of guys lined up wrong again. So, it was one of those in-the-moment things that obviously we do not want to happen, but it happened. The good thing, again, is we backed up five yards and we were able to get it done so that ended up being a positive, and one that we got to learn from and know it can’t happen."
Yep, another happy ending.
But not for all. At least one of the players is sick and tired of the weekly uproar over common football issues.
"It happens," said DeCastro. "It's football. It's a high-energy, high-testosterone, high-stress job. I don't know if people expect us to be civil citizens. It's gonna get heated. It's gonna get angry if guys mess up, if something happens. It's just part of it. I don't really read too much into it. I heard about this and I'm like, 'God, whatever.' It's like, 'C'mon, man.' Everyone's really sensitive these days."
DeCastro then spoke to the insensitive upon being asked a follow-up question.
"I'm just tired of having bulls**t stories every week about little dumbass distractions with this team that aren't important," he said. "I know you people have stuff to write, but it gets old. I don't care. It doesn't really affect me. It's just kind of annoying. If we could just talk about football, how bad we played, about how I felt like we were half-asleep the whole first half, stuff about the game, you know? Now it's become like a reality, emotional-type thing when it's just football, man. It's a pretty awesome sport."
Imagine that. Players would rather talk about how poorly they played in a win rather than another manufactured mini-drama.

You are being too literal. The play had already been called and the players lined up wrong. The Steelers took the timeout. The play remained, but after the timeout, the players who lined up wrong the first time did so again, so the Steelers took the penalty. Haley was understandably pissed. When he said, "Get the play in," he was not referring to the play call, I wager, but instead lining up and running the damn play.

Hey, Antdrew ... I don't wanna hear all that about how it's nothing personal. I'm trying to push an agenda here.

FIRE HALEY!!!

Understandable. But, having presumably designed said play, and called said play, who should have been the one to make sure that everyone knew what their responsibilities were? I'm assuming they practiced said play. Which means that if folks didn't know where to line up on game day, they probably didn't know during practice .... Haley's fault for not making sure the positioning was right in practice. His play. His call. His fault.

Of course, the players bear responsibility too because as professionals, it's their job to know the playbook.

When you watch replay, Ben is talking to players and Haley is yelling down the sidelines not out onto field. We lay it out on Tomlin and Haley but Smith is in charge of special teams and players lost in positioning would be on him. All and all the team was lack luster first half and at least played better second half...Tomlin still has not proven he is capable of getting the mind set of the players when playing an inferior team where it needs to be.

That's an interesting point. Is the 2pt conversion part of special teams play? I assumed the OC ran that.

Or is it that Smith was trying to put out the kicking team and Haley was telling him to get the **** off the field?

I'm guessing that may have been it, when we took the delay, special teams may have assumed we would kick then.

haley called for kick,, notifies Danny. Tomlin over rules,, danny is on the mic wanting to know what to do.. Haley is trying to figure out the play... so "stfu"

this is what i was thinking too

Look, I am not a big Haley fan, but blaming him because a player does not know where the @#$% to line up makes no sense. The player's positioning is depicted in the playbook. The team practices the play, and Haley and the coaches check where the players are lined up. The team goes into a game, and the guy forgets where he is supposed to be, and instead believes he should be somewhere he does not belong.

That is just not on Haley.

Oh, I don't disagree. As I said, the player bears responsibility too, because as a professional, it's their job to know the playbook. I do however think that Haley was a contributing cause to the confusion since he was apparently thinking that we were going for 1 pt in a situation that called for the 2 pt conversion. Haley wasn't ready.

As an aside, I realize that I am being unreasonably hard on Haley. It's just that I hate what he's doing to this offense with his play calling. So, I'll probably take any opportunity to lay blame at Haley's feet.
