Tomlin presser

Post by swissvale72 » Mon Jan 06, 2025 7:50 pm

To no one's surprise, Tomlin, in his presser today, continued to be fulla shit, and the collective pittsburgh media continues to be passive.

Sprinkling in some "we don't live in our feats" though he most certainly does, was his citing his wanting to pursue an agenda" when queried about the propensity of first down runs. When reminded that that wasn't working, he retreated to wanting to keep the ball away from Joe burrow. No one reminded him that he failed miserably in doing so when one looks at the e disparity in time of possession. NO ONE asked WHY this would be the agenda against a team whom you torched with the passing game 4 short weeks ago.

More fulla shit than usual today

Dulac took him to task in an article...but you're right- in the pressers, I think they are more worried about access than pressuring Tomlin.

Yeah, saw that piece. A number of writers are starting to call him out. Paul Zeise, postgame said,," Tomlin should be coaching for his job on Saturday" while also acknowledging that this won't be the case

He is a horrible alcoholic that refuses to admit he’s an alcoholic.

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem.

In Jibb’s world, he’s the smartest guy in the room and it’s everyone else that is the problem.

He most certainly watches ESPN etc and reads (and believes) his bullshit press clippings.

That, and he gets patted on the head by his idiot owner all the damn time.

1. How is “trying to keep the ball out of Burrow’s hands” not living in your fear?

2. How is getting a yard or two on first down “keeping the ball out of Burrow’s” hands?

3. He does realize that Burrow will get roughly the same number of possessions as Pittsburgh. So if he wins TOP, he is simply reducing the total number of snaps for each team. That makes sense if you are the weaker team since that means a big play factors more into the results. But if you are the better team you want more plays. So is Tomlin concluding that the Bengals are the better team?

Re: #3 - he always approaches that the other team is "better". He did in in 2010 vs the Packers. He did it during the Killer B's era too.

He doesn't understand analytics or efficiency. Talking to Tomlin about modern football is akin to explaining electricity to a caveman.

Tomlin is the biggest fraud hire in history. His protectors are known and they're reputations are not good either - there I said it

He is over his head on every aspect. Every little change, has FAILED. His EGO and his network feelers have been exposed

Rooney is the one to point the finger at.

He wanted to keep the ball from Burrow because he wanted to protect his defense.

Because despite what people think, it matters to Tomlin how he wins. And he aint looking to win no shootout. Never has been comfortable with that.

His offense has just about always been expected to play second fiddle and it's why we never really got to see the full potential of the offense in the mid-2010's.

I’ll do one better, guys like schefter and glazer are on speed dial / retainer to keep the fake narrative going

It’s them putting out this trade him to other teams stories

They tipped their hands last year, the same thing happening this year

Not to cherry pick quotes, but this is fucking stupid. You need to remember how and why you lost and improve on that, or you're doomed to repeat it.

I don't expect intellectuals, but come on.
“We have to have amnesia going into this,”
What would Bill Walsh say about this idea?

I am going to compare Coach Mike to Bill Walsh over and over.

"Walsh stepped down from coaching on Jan. 26, a few days after winning Super Bowl XXIII, his third Super Bowl title in 10 years as coach of the team. Despite his Super Bowl titles, Walsh's relationship with 49ers owner Ed DeBartolo Jr. soured in 1987. At that time, Walsh was stripped of his title of team president after San Francisco lost in the first round of the playoffs for the third straight time. "

The reason they will not pressure him is the Steelers will not allow the reporter back in for press conferences. Which is basically career suicide.

Better to just bang his wife. You can pick up trash. You can’t keep cock out of your wife while you are at work.

So he will want to go elsewhere.

Tomlin's problem is he ignores the other guys get paid, too. In his reality, the play works if Broderick Jones stalemates Myles Garrett. If he doesn't, well that's just bad execution. Laziness, stupidity or stubborness or what have you, Tomlin has never appreciated the role of scheme and play call in the ability for player's to execute.

And despite all that, Tomlin usually only calls a play again if it DOESN'T work. Yet another example of Tomlin's inherently illogical nature. "Woah, that play worked pretty well...better not call it again because they might be ready for it". And it's cousin the "well, that play sucked....run it back they'll never expect us to be dumb enough to call it again!"

Zeke, something that has stuck with me for months were Tomlin’s comments about the Atlanta game. It wasn’t right after we went in there and scored 18 points off of field goals only. It was weeks later after we beat another team and Tomlin brought up the gameplan for Atlanta.

He basically got up in front of the podium and said they specially designed the gameplan on offense to avoid Jesse Bates. He went on and on about Jesse Bates this and Jesse Batss that, how basically they didn’t do anything that would risk areas of the field where Bates could potentially pick a ball off.

Now I get that Fields was playing and he isn’t a prolific passer but is he really that afraid of Jesse Bates that the ENTIRE offensive plan revolves around that guy? Bates is very good but hardly the level of game breaker as Watt, Aaron Donald, etc. He was gloating about the game plan because it worked (we only kicked 6 FGs that game).

I’m thinking to myself WOW what a wuss! I mean that is how scared you are that you won’t try anything to the middle of the field because of Jesse friggin Bates? I dunno, it screamed to me that this dude comes up with these ideas that just totally neuter the offense but he sticks with them because he thinks a guy like Jesse Bates will torpedo what we are trying to do with the ball.

The dude is terrified and absolutely lives in his fears but he parades around like it’s brilliant game planning (until it doesn’t work, like it didn’t work on Saturday). But the trend is the concerning thing. It shows how he really is.

He doesn't understand analytics or efficiency. Talking to Tomlin about modern football is akin to explaining electricity to a caveman.
He doesn’t understand avg points per game, especially in week 18 and average points per series.

The fact that he still lets offensive juggernauts have the ball first is looney.

He doesn’t understand at the end of the game, a spiked ball, a run to the sideline & a pass to the sideline provided they get out of bounds, and a timeout are all equal. So when when you fuck up on one of the first 3 you just call a timeout at the end of the game whether you have 3 timeouts or 1 timeout. His clock run out on Saturday was abysmal!.

DK going into some of the insane shit Col Mike is out there shoveling, operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field coaching the Steelers.

What is it about doing the same thing and expecting different results? Something about insanity.

Coach Mike is more stubborn than the King of Stubborn, Coach Bill Cowher.

The original coining of SBI (Steelers Best Interest) was. "SBI > Being Right." For Mike Tomlin, it's the opposite....Being Right > SBI.

Fuckin criminal, and we, the loyal fan base are the victims, that this fuckin moron didn't attempt to exploit the bengals through the air when his team had just done so 4 short weeks ago.

Tomlin always kicks that can of execution, Does he understand that poor execution by his team week in and week out is a reflection of coaching? Its not all on the players not doing their jobs. It has more to do with coaches teaching the subtle nuances of technique coupled with putting players in the best position to succeed. Putting Moore on an island against Garrett for the first half of the game (the Browns game we lost) was utterly stupid coaching. He fails miserable year in and year out at putting players in positions to succeed and help the team win. Moving Watt around and getting Herbig on the field with Watt and Highsmith might be a good idea every now and then, but we haven't seen it! He knows nothing about being a teacher of football. Remember when he told Harris he won't film study with him - it was because he has no idea what to tell Harris!

Nope. And we all know that

Putting Trice on Chase with no safety help on Saturday for a (vast?) majority of game was also masterstroke.
