True but he managed to channel the essence of Tomlinship-caliber performance by going 16 seasons without a playoff win while still performing well enought to keep his job and continue chasing Tomlinships. In 2 seasons, Tomlin will also likely have 16 seasons without a playoff win.
I'd like a couple of whatever you're drinking in those rose colored glasses!!
Wow, an actual yinzer. I thought Clown-lin got rid of you all. Start with the DL: our best player is pushing 40, takes more plays off than he plays. Benton could be fairly good at DE but the rookie 1st-round pick is surgery-in-the-waiting. The rest are back ups and spare parts. Leal? Lee? Loudermilk? Lowry? Adams? Leal doesn't know if he's an OLB or DT yet? The OL is a mess. We still don't know who our LT is. Our OL coaching is non-existent. If we keep the Tomlinship going of no losing season, we will be very fortunate.
I appreciate your optimism but at best , we are going to do what we've been doing the last 8 years. When an organization stinks, it stinks from the head down. And we stink starting with Rooney and his 1990 ideas of football all the way down to having inadequate assistant coaches because Tomlin will never hire any offensive or Defensive coordinators that are good because that could threaten his job security.
You nailed reality on this, and it's just too bad that so many avoid it. Instead they fall for the platitudes and fancy quips by Clown-lin, it's just sad that Clown-lin offers them instead of just telling the reality of the situation: He refuses to hire competent coordinators because he fears for others doing a better job.
I have to admit, I had the same questions. Who is the 2nd TE? The UDFA? Who are all the awesome DL? Is 41 1/2 y/o Rogers the magic QB? When was the last playoff game he won? When was the last playoff game Tomlin won?
Our 2nd TE will be sent into the mish mosh of bodies at the LOS to kind of bump into the mass of bodies and semi-block for a mis-directed rushing play that never develops, never solidifies into an actual play. It just mish mops into an undefined calamity of nothingness, where the RB just kind of gives up on the play, eventually, going for 2 yards. It's the Clown-lin way. They do this down 1 and 2 and down 3 in come the bubble screen pass, which goes for nothing or an incomplete pass, ending up with the team punting per usual. It's the Clown-lin way.
In football Mish mop is bad correct?
"Ooga booga goes the poo poo pants." You must not watch to many Steeler games as if you haven't witnessed or can't recall "the middle mess" that happened during Najee runs, you aren't paying attention. You think Washington makes "crisp definitive" blocks based on his size stats? It takes more than being large to make crisp blocks than what's on a stats measurement. Apparently, in your rush to cite physical measurement, you forgot to look at what's happening of the field. Big guy kind of "gets in that way," but that is a far cry from making decisive, crisp blocks that's taking players out of the play in any dominant manner. You end up with a bunch of players "milling about" not really creating any dominant blocks.
