Dilfer said it best

We just don't have the personal to run this Haley offense

 

So who's fault is that?

 

We do need two #1 TE's on this team like a lot of offenses are moving towards.

We have a dinged up #1 (Heath) and a 1 dimensional # 2 or 3 (Paulson).

What's up with Will Johnson though... Why not put him in at FB and let him make some holes?

I think Wheaton and Moye needs to be more involved. They have speed and size.

 

I say its Tomlins, i kno Colbert does the drafting but i say they give tomlin waaay to much say when it comes to drafting players. Colbert didnt draft this bad when Cowher was coach, i don't think Tomlin can evaluate talent, let alone coach

 

a few completed passes tonight changes the game.

 

Yea the Steelers could have lost 41-10....Dalton missed more throws tonight than Ben.

 

whoever's idea it was to sign a player who is NOT SPECIAL BY ANY MEANS (AB) to a $54 Million deal!
Mike Wallace may give 75% effort but at least he stretched the field and made plays!

 

i dont agreee with that at all .. ben sucked... he overthrew everything over 10 yards deep...

HINES

 

Doesn't a smart OC design a plan that uses the talent he has, not run an offense he wishes he had the talent for?

 

That's what Haley's MO was for getting the job!

 

Haven't got to see the game yet - travelling cross country and internet doesn't want to stream the game - but it sounds like same old, same old.

I'm frustrated with Haley on this front. We have a clear problem with injuries, but (from reports of the game and last week) we still seem to be playing to an ideal rather than what we can pragmatically achieve.

 

So, are you ready for some Landry Jones now?

 

You didnt watch much football last year did you? Effort? The guy is a diva and 1 trick pony. Dont miss 'hands of stone' at all.

 

YOu ever thought Adams, DeCastro and Gilbert was starting quality lineman needs to go back to the drawing board.

Did you see DeCastro feeble attempt to block Atkins? He tried to block him with his back. That's some "Jonathan Scott" work.

 

Or for that matter... Players with a clue.... See Paulson & Cotchery

 

We know Adams stinks but people don't seem to want to admit that DeCastro may be a bust as well.

 

Perhaps because after only a few games as a starter, people might not want to be jumping the gun in writing off a guy's career.

 

It's time to stop with this "Ideal" bullcrap! Wanting every player to be diverse is not maximizing the players strengths! Great every player is mediocre at every position....Durrrrrr!

Screw that crap! Play to what these guys do best and put them in position to make some plays!

 

Thus, he has no plan because he has no talent to work with?

 

We need to draft a true #1 WR, such as a Julio Jones or an AJG. We so desperately need a guy like that. We also need to draft a move TE. We have enough slow TE's that can block, we need a TE like Jimmy Graham, Eifert, Jordan Cameron, Jared Cook, etc. Our offence is 10 years behind the rest of the league. Spend the first 3 draft picks on offensive playmakers.

 

Dalton was overthrowing guys left and right too. If we were playing against a team with a better than avergae QB, the game would have been a laugher.

 

I agree, tomlin is like several other coaches who inherited a playoff ready team and went along for the ride, like Gruden with Dungeys bucs, barry switzer with johnsons cowboys, like seifert with walshs 49ers, coaching is pretty easy when the cubbard is full, but when it's bare that's the true measure of a head coach to see if he can refill the cubbard again, or not. Looks like tomlin cant find the grocery store..........

 

I'm not writing him off yet but to be the 17th overall pick, the best guard in the draft he has ALOT of improving to do in the next 2 years. Because if he doesn't his rookie contract will be over and it's a toss up if he gets another.

 

And while your at it get a legitmate offensive tackle. I would spend the next two draft picks and free agents on oline.
