Halftime adjustement

The steelers have the second best offense in PPG and best defense in the NFL in points against in the second half this year and they haven't given up a single point in the 3rd quarter after 7 games, which is crazy!

Great second half team so far and how much credit does the coaching staff deserve for that in the halftime adjustment?

 

Halftime adjustments are a myth

 

Thanks for sharing. Makes total and complete sense. There would be no time to do half time adjustments. They literally make changes throughout the game.

 

If we play better in the first half than the second, it's because Tomlin made no halftime adjustments and the other team did.
If we play better in the second half than the first, it's because Tomlin had the team poorly prepared.

This is TSF. Be Better.

 

My pleasure

 

Halftime adjustments, in-game adjustments, results is what he means.

 

It really depends, as I am sure that there are adjustments being made on the fly all game long. These numbers can show that we are either a good team that underperforms in the first half, or a meh team that over performs in the second half. Hard to tell what the reality is.

My take on it is that we generally get outplayed in the "scripted" part of the game (first few series on offense for each team), then we get better as the game goes on. That part I would probably attribute to the coaching staff, but they also get some credit for adjustments on the fly if they are actually having an impact on how the team is performing. Pluses and minuses to go around I am sure.

 

And yet some of the split pea brains here want to get rid of our DC

Sounds like a good time for necroposting

 

Don’t care.


The thread title is halftime adjustments and I despise the myth

 

Cool.

 

I think in these days and times, there is limited things one can do. As they mention, you are on headsets and tablets during the game so that sort of takes pressure off.
BUT
They are not a myth in older days.
Joe Gibbs and crew were masters at adjustments. Marv Levy, Bill Parcells and Mike Shanahan were pretty good too.

Modern technology has phased it out. Good and bad.

 

The largest deficit that the steelers had at halftime outside of the game vs Colts was only 3 points.So this is not like they are awful in the first half...they are about even.But in the second half,they are just dominant this year!

But yeah,when the steelers have a great first half,this is because the coach had a great gameplan and preparation.....When they are a great second half team,this is because of the halftime adjustement!!!!

Just important that when they are not dominant,to be at least about even or close to that!

This is impossible to have everything too,like dominant in every quarter and thing like that!

 

wellllll - with that level of talent, some of us could coach that defense.

they have not been challenged super hard yet. he will not be getting any HC offers in January, I will assure you of that.

 

You are a thief of joy

 

At halftime everyone is going to pee just like the rest of the people in the stadium

yeah - it's funny, we think these guys don't think all game long or make any game day adjustments, halftime or whatever.

THEY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS to various schemes that are working or NOT working

 

Clearly you need to work on your reading comprehension. Nice try though

 

Guess it depends on what you mean by adjustments. In every single football game I played in the coach made changes to how we blocked and ran routes. Same as the defense. If they are not coaching at halftime what good are they??

 

Expelling urine from the body is an adjustment. Food and nutrition entering the body forces your digestive system to adjust. Telling your players to stop sucking a$$ is an adjustment. Duh, of course there are adjustments. Some players might even need to tighten their shoe laces or get an ankle re-taped. All adjustments.

 

Nobody said adjustments aren’t made. However, they are made incrementally throughout the game. Teams(coaches, coordinators, players, the personnel up in the box have 12 minutes to make it to the locker room and back onto the field. There simply isn’t time to make these game changing heroic adjustments y’all seem to think occur. Hell in the video I posted both players and coaches say it doesn’t happen. Hell HOF quarterback manning said in his 18 years playing pro football said it doesn’t happen , but yall want to claim otherwise.

 

But Kurt Warner said it was different for him and his teams.Each in their own way I guess

 

I don't believe I'm claiming anything. I'm simply saying coaching takes place at half time and during the game. Not sure why you're so keen on this

 

Maybe we have better snacks during half time? This is true... maybe it gives the coaches time to give a pep talk or think about plays that might work vs what they've been seeing....but they better be making those same adjustments throughout the game.

IMO strong 2nd half teams point to just getting into a groove and finding focus. It could also point to poor game planning.... the plays in the 2nd half aren't working that you had planned for all week.... you have to change your play calling if it aint working.

 

Actually.

Adjustements ????????????

They truly exist. So there.
