I do not think Tomlin will wake up. If something isn't working we just keep doing it anyways. Just look at our last 2 games. Against the Bengals we ran every single first down and all but once on 2nd down until we were desperate at the end of the game. We also left Trice on Chase for most of the game. Against the Ravens we kept tackling Henry without the ball and letting Lamar run down the field. We also always seen to have that one play every year that results in 0 yardage but we keep running out. Last year it was the jet sweep and this year it is the toss back to najee
Using 2 DL is just plain stupid. 1. we can't generate pass rush. 2. We get blown off the line. 3. Even with extra guys in the secondary the other team has guys wide open.
With Tomlin I don't see much changing defensively unfortunately so I have little hope for change there
One change that I think might make a difference is a new oline coach. I think Tomlin would keep his fingers off that one. Our backs and QBs would look much better with a decent line.
On offense i think the plays are there we just do not use them. I don't know if that is on Tomlin or Smith. With a better oline and playcalling I think the offense could be ok as is.
Special teams had a good year I wouldn't change much there. The short kickoffs were a mixed bag. We stopped guys inside the 20 but also got burnt a few times. I'm fine with being aggressive there but if they decide to just blast it through the end zone that is fine too
