Tomlin…Believes risk of turnovers when throwing over the middle

[Litos]

Freiermuth is the 9th-highest paid tight end in the NFL at $12.1 million per year. He signed that extension right before the start of last season. That move truly makes no sense if Tomlin's goal is to avoid the middle of the field, and to me it illustrates a glaring disconnect between the head coach and front office. Why pay Freiermuth if you're not going to utilize his strengths? He's a decent blocker, but not even the best one on the team.

haven't you seen how great Muth looks in those passes to the flats?

I also think he plays this conservatives offense as if he came out with a more diverse offense, that would require in-game adjustments. That is something he has proven to lack in. He would lose some control as the rapid fire adjustments would leave him in the dust trying to keep up with them.

So while good coaches play chess
And Mid coaches are playing checkers
