    definitely word vomit

    That's your typical straight-forward, common-sense English statement passed through the Tomlin filter on Babelfish.

    Hmm… I get it. It’s nothing like his never ending mantra on “weighty downs” after week 1.

    Mike definitely has a future in politics and that really isn’t a good thing anymore.

    If you’re having success, you can call a wider variety of plays.

    If you’re behind the chains, you gotta throw.

    He’s saying that when you stay ahead of the chains and move the ball you can call plays from the entirety of the playbook - concept diversity.

    I wish he said words like "ain't" and went on deep playoff runs instead of using fancy words/word combinations and eeked out a winning record.

    Mojo. It was supposed to trick the media in not looking at the offense. Tangible success is what he is interested in. How about some playoff success.

    Listening to his Tuesday presser after the Faders win was a head shaker. It was like a Merry Go Round.

    We can talk playoff success when we get to the playoffs. For now, he is going to talk about the games that they are playing now. Nothing inappropriate or misleading to talk about the game you just played and the game you have coming up.

    If he said nothing, it would still not be about the playoffs. It’s September

    there, he should be more plain spoken, like you yourself stated. ‘Concept diversity’ lol, I think Tomlin watches too much KCET

    he’s so wordy and tries to sound smart or like a professor - such bull****, Noll was so plain spoken. It’s like ok already Mike cut the crap and get to the point.

    agreed, all those fancy words are even more annoying when your struggling. I wished he do a Jim Mora post game and just say ‘our offense sucked’ we have to move the ball better, run better, ‘playoffs?’ Lol

    Football is a team sport.

    Deciphering Tomlin is a TSF team sport too
