Najee states the obvious. Camp tomlin is not a tight run ship

It's NOT FAIR to dump on Coach after all he did for you and us this season and how he fought to get into the playoffs.

"Najee Harris says #Steelers need In house rules changes, more discipline"

What could he be talking about. Who sets the rules, who engages discipline in players.

I wonder who that would be.

The Tomlinoids are already in defender mode. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS YOU RACIST.

Too funny. It's a cult, Jim Jones would approve.

Steelers lose Tomlin be prepared for a few years of a rebuild with new players and new coaches new system. Looking at 7-10 for a few years without him.
Houston turned it around from much further down to much further up... in one season. One. Pick the right offensive mind and the right QB... turnaround is possible.
Cool, but I don’t trust Art ii to do it.
Danny Rooney... come on down!

My hopes fo the offseason:

Art 2 retires as owner.

Mike T walks away with a year left (next year he comes back to coach another NFL team and the Steelers get a 1st round pick in 2025.

Steelers hire Bobby Slowik, Ben Johnson, someone from the Shanahan tree of offense, or at bare minimum, a really smart defensive coach whose offensive strategy is to hire an offensive genius and give said OC the full responsibility for that side of the football.

Steelers manage a bridge year in 2024... perhaps re-sign Mason to be the bridge, perhaps trade KP for some kind of compensation, perhaps draft a crapshoot QB late or as UDFA (Mark Gronowski or Jason Bean for example). Worst-case, that guy is a candidate to be an interesting backup going forward.

Build and solidify the team around the future QB. Start by ditching overpaid or low-value players. Keep vets at low price tags and encourage them to teach the young players. Focus on OL and DL.

Focus on reorienting the team's approach to offense and defense. Build towards 2025 and beyond. New OL coach has a year to sort out who stays and who goes + teach new techniques... coach 'em up. DC has a year to teach his style of defense and coverage packages.

2025: use the Pickett and Tomlin compensation to move up and draft one of the top 2-3 QBs (for example: Cam Ward, TJ Finley, Will Howard, Quinn Ewers, Taylen Green, et al). Window still open for TJ Watt & Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Contend for a SB.

I think the funniest part of this is that Mike wants to act offended at the question when it's a guarantee he planted the seeds for it in the media. This shit was first reported by his buddies. Don't think for a second he didn't feed this shit to Glazer.

Does Houston run the ball up the A gaps every flicking first down, even with 10 guys in the box?

You can enjoy watching whatever you want. There's no "yelling" here because I frankly don't care anymore because there is no Super Bowl window. It closed. Mediocre Mike, Coach NHALS squandered it and those are years we'll never get back as a fan.

Mike Tomlin is an albatross around this franchise's neck. He isn't a terrible coach. He's a coach who, as I've said before, will get your 6-10 team to 9-7, but take your 12-4 team and get them to 10-6. You can wave your pom poms for that all you want.

Tomlin defenders try to pretend they are the ones with the nuanced arguments when it's the opposite. They are just deluded.

Harris says Steelers lack in-house discipline and need change
What the third-year Steelers said of what it’s been like since he got to Pittsburgh

7 hours ago

BUFFALO (93.7 The Fan) – Najee Harris says the Steelers need change.

The third-year Steeler said it isn’t as much about coaches, but that doesn’t make the changes he wants any less damning to read.

“It’s the rules in the building that we need to be more disciplined,” Harris said Monday after the game. “We got to be more committed, I’m not saying we are not. But coming from a place that has more structure and just seeing, we could probably get more help in these areas and it might make a change.”

ADVERTISING

“I’m not saying anything about coaches. I’m saying more in-house rules.”

He said it’s been like this his entire Steelers career and he doesn’t know what it was like before he got there. Harris said Coach Tomlin always told him to just play running back. The former Alabama star said if they want to elevate and achieve what they want, they have to change some in-house stuff. He said there isn’t anything he can do about that.


SharePlay Video
“I have my opinion on things, but obviously that doesn’t matter,” Harris said. “I’m just a player. The guys in that building know what I’m talking about. It’s not like this is the first time I said this before, probably first to y’all. If we want to get to where we want to be… we got to… yeah.”

Ah, so the leadership propaganda shit was all just bullshit, as usual.

Coach really has his team running smoothly.

Also, I'm wondering if Coach Mike set up that question for the very end so he could have his little stunt go out on social media. I wouldn't be surprised if that was so. Throw out a little cash to get some publicity.

Maybe, but he always seems annoyed when he gets a question from a female.

I would imagine it was Tomlin's idea to make Trubisky the #2 QB, but it most certainly wasn't Tomlin's idea to give Mitch Trubisky a contract that could pay him between 19-33 million.

As much as I hate Cool Shades, when you pay a back up that much money, you can't exactly make him the #3. Don't know if Tomlin received pressure from above to play Trubisky over Rudolph, but that is where the season went down the shitter.

Not with Kenny. Not with Mason. 100% with Mitch Trubisky.

I'd love to know the real reason Mitch got paid and why he was on the depth chart above Mason Rudolph.

No Mitch and this team has at least 2 more wins. Maybe 3.

What good decisions have we gotten from Tomlin on his own accord, without being pressured?

I’ll wait.

Assclown is an Albatross. A slightly better Marvin Lewis.

To keep the fraud and grift going he should walk away.

Focus on reorienting the team's approach to offense and defense. Build towards 2025 and beyond. New OL coach has a year to sort out who stays and who goes + teach new techniques... coach 'em up. DC has a year to teach his style of defense and coverage packages.

2025: use the Pickett and Tomlin compensation to move up and draft one of the top 2-3 QBs (for example: Cam Ward, TJ Finley, Will Howard, Quinn Ewers, Taylen Green, et al). Window still open for TJ Watt & Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Contend for a SB.

Yes to this.
Sure, but what are the chances any of this happens?

The Bills took the pedal off the gas. When they needed to score, they drove down the field at will.

But you believe what you want, Tomlin ballwashers. Only losing by 14 is now a moral victory.
CK I try to enjoy the game without taking religious positions about whether or not we should fire coach NHALS. Debating this shit with you guys is like masturbating with a 60 grit belt sander. It's a mostly fucking annoying debate yelled about by mostly fucking annoying posters. I'm not the goddamn GM and I don't think the guy is a handicap. He just dragged a team that many on the forum up to the esteemed B2B and the mostly invisible rest of podcast crew concurs as talent devoid into a third playoff berth in four seasons. Now he has to actually *win* some of those playoff games, so If the Steelers want to move on, so be it. If they hire the second coming of Rich Kotite I'm still here to watch the games. Get it? Go wash your own balls, youve been sitting at the computer too long.
To quote myself:

“ Who built the team? Chose the QB? Called the D? Chose the strategy on O? Who coached this team to losses vs two 2-10 teams that put them in the position of going to Buffalo? Name that coach.”
We're pretty sure Tomlin was all in on going after Canada. Not convinced Tomlin wanted to keep Canada.

Do we KNOW Tomlin wanted Pickett or did Colbert forget to flush on his way out of the building leaving the next guy in the stall an unwelcome surprise?

This season, in my opinion, was primarily a disaster because they kept Canada. And so were stuck with his playbook after they fired him. And because they kept Canada, we couldn't fully find out who KP is (though, I think we know).

Dude just ended a tough season with a tough playoff game where I thought they kept it more competitive than they should have considering the early turnovers,.the scrubs they had at LB, a 3rd string QB starting, and not having Watt. It was exactly the kind of question I'd walk away from, too.

People think you must be a ball washer because you refuse to say personally demeaning things about Tomlin. Pointing out ANY positive quality he has = full support and nothing needs to change.

The "hyperbolic Tomlin is a submental retard and source of all evil circle-jerk group think" has gotten so bad on this site that you can't log in without getting hit by jizz.

(I have wanted the team to move on since the Jax 18 playoff loss.)

Can you imagine being the immediate superior of some of the posters on this site? Holy fuck. I'd encourage them to get high before work just so I wouldn't have to deal with their miserable mood.

About the question Tomlin walked away from. Most people on this site think the media is a dishonest enemy of the state, but now Brooke Pryor is their best friend for asking a question bound to piss Tomlin off given the context. :lol:

I've always heard that KP was their top-rated QB that year, but they didn't have a first round grade on him. Which is sort of hilarious when you hear the talk about Mason having a first round grade but they didn't draft him until the third.

The decision to draft Pickett was mainly Rooney.

How do we know this? That it was Rooney? (I'd feel both better and worse for different reasons: better bc Colbert didn't go senile on his way out, worse bc Art decided to make decisions above his assessment abilities or for non-football reasons).

Harris said Coach Tomlin always told him to just play running back.
Ah, so the leadership propaganda shit was all just bullshit, as usual.

Coach really has his team running smoothly.

Also, I'm wondering if Coach Mike set up that question for the very end so he could have his little stunt go out on social media. I wouldn't be surprised if that was so. Throw out a little cash to get some publicity.
This is the way I took that quote as well. Harris tried to talk to Tomlin about it, as a leader that wants to win would and Tomlin basically told him to shut up. Not surprising. This is the same coach that refused to watch film with him. He won't change. That's been the problem from day one. Did anyone really think he was going to pull a great game plan out of his ass in the playoffs?
Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

It was Tomlin for Canada and Pickett, Art ok’d and he also fired Canada. Colbert was leaving so he punched out a few yrs back, helped and hindered

Can you provide receipts for this take? I just cannot adopt positions without sufficient, direct evidence.
