Tomlin rips O line

xjx said:
Let's see. Tomlin assembles an offensive line. Line performs poorly. Tomlin yells at them. Now they won't suck. That is leadership.

You could also say... Tomlin assembles a poor offensive line. Tomlin then yells at them not to suck.

Cole doesn't concern me. I think Daniels will settle in. Chukes will be what we know. They should take the weakest rostered G and T and see if they can trade or final cut down some competition.

THIS

Agree and this is about the ONLY approach available at this time in the season (pre-season).

I think there will be two upgrades available, gaurd and tackle and I hope the STEELERS jump on it and also hope those players are actually legit and not some project type player. We have enough of those currently.

When Dan oore secured the LT spot I pushed for him considering his "underdog" statis. He can still turn it around but I'm realizing he needs big step up. Can he do that ?

Steelers sign offensive tackle Adrian Ealy

The Steelers bring in their third new offensive lineman in the past week.

I seen that report earlier and thought............... way to little to late action.

Surly after cut downs there has to be someone way better and I hope they pursue that avenue. I'm not sure this guy is better than the depth we already have. Maybe there is something there in a "hidden gem" form that none of the other 356 teams could polish out.!

Leglue played well last year. I'd give him a shot. Dotson did OK when he was in this past week. You'd think, if he can stay healthy (huge if) and practice this week, he should get the first half snaps.
 
Every year Tomlin brings in scrap heap offensive linemen to compete with his carefully assembled and coached offensive line. Iron sharpens iron.
 
slashsteel said:
I am with you and in theory that sounds good. I would love to send the two packing. But you can't deplete depth without bringing in something equal or greater than. I would like them to do exactly that. That is a problem Omarlin have to solve to improve the roster.

I would say that Spillane and Robinson are both better options than Bush, while not great players…better options and more deserving of roster spots

Also the same could be said about Green
LeGlue, Haeg, Hass and several other players that will soon be cutbait are better options than him

Yeah those guys are all subpar starters, but also upgrades over the waste of space/roster spots that are Bush and Green

Omarlin OBVIOUSLY need to figure this out quick cuz our OL is going to end someone’s career…they make me pine for guys like Beachum🤦🏻‍♂️

As bad as our OL is a turnstile like Trent Scott could actually make the roster…dumpster 🔥

Anyone here could do as much as him. Which is less than a speed bump.

They need to send Bush and Green to the sideline for some 1 on 1 reps and the loser of the battle is instantly cut…if the coaches look away for a second those two clowns would break out a board and be playing a game of monopoly for the roster spot tho

Another midget. Tomlin loves these outliers and wastes high draft picks on them, see Dri Archer and Bush trying to show people he is smarter than them. The phoney is nothing but a master bullshitter b

Some of those guys need to lay off the cheeseburgers and hit the iron a lot more.

I saw a YouTube vid from Alex Kozora and how Pat Meyers blocking goes. It’s a win first idea. Lots of attacking first. Mason Cole made mention that people need to get more aggressive and after listening to the design that’s exactly what needs to be done. It’s not an overwhelming complicated system. Gotta see foot placement and position of DL and that determines what you do. But the gist of it is you don’t back pedal as much but attack the LOS. It’s definitely new to everyone and you can see how uncomfortable they are. Not sure if the team is built to run this or not. Maybe see if there’s any offensive linemen available that has run this and bring them in. Maybe bring Andrew Whitworth in to help coach a little. Idk

Yes. I saw a similar thing about a month ago. Its definitely a concept that requires high technical attention and quick decision making… that first strike is super important and knowing when to fake it to get the dl to overcommit…

I don’t think the average fan realizes how different this is.. its like the changes in 2008… drastic and some of our guys might not be capable

That's just the point, GREEN is one of those guys. If I were a professional DL I'd love the opportunity to line up opposite him..... I'd be licking my chops.
I do hope for the kid but somewhere along the line he needs to show a morsle of promis.

Kendrick Green is the highest drafted OlIne pick in the last 10 years for the Steelers. Let that sink in.

Wolf, I didn't realize that. As the OL aged Tomlin and Colbert obviously neglected the positions on the OL. The Bush trade actually had us losing three potential starters maybe even a couple OL. Our pick 20 and second round pick that year Bush was drafted and the following year a third round pick. Kendrick Green is not an NFL caliber starting OL. Not even sure he makes a decent backup. I think Cole, Daniels and Chucks can be OK but nothing special just OK. Dotson can't stay healthy and if he can again only OK. Dan Moore really worrying me at LT. Simply put, not beating these fast edge rushers. Doesn't seem to get out fast enough to pick up these speedsters.

cole actually was good out there, he is just supporting his crappy colleagues

I don't disagree that Cole was the best of the group. Which isn't saying much. However, telling us to expect some bad games (throughout the season!) from the line, the offense, and the entire team doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. At least he's being honest, I guess.

That really is hard to believe, but the results are plain to see. As the lineman with high pedigrees like DeCastro and Pouncey aged and deteriorated, the Steelers continued to prioritize drafting skill positions -- and now they are clearly paying the price. Green was a project pick to start with, then they really ****** him up by attempting to have him start at center as a rookie.
 
More stupidity from Tomlin. Thinking he could immediately shift a player to center and then kept running him out there week after week when it was obvious he was overmatched and getting progressively worse each game. Tomlin is nothing if not stupid , stubborn and arrogant, the Tomlin trifecta.

2021 draft:

Creed Humphrey at 55
Quinn Meinerz or Ben Cleveland at 87

Humphrey at C, Meinerz or Cleveland at LG.

It really is that simple.

And that does not even take into account Supe's favorite player from the 2021 draft, OG Trey Smith. A 7th round pick, Smith starts for the Chiefs at RG. Rumor has it they have a decent offensive line with two guys (Humphrey and Smith) that the Steelers passed on repeatedly for "splash players."
