NOW ITS OMARS FAULT

Some people just talk to talk. Dont agree one bit with Marshall.

 

Thought Omar did a good job in past draft!

 

Yeah, the guy who has been GM for less than a year has totally screwed the team lol Marshall is clueless

If you're going to blame the FO, blame Colbert. His top picks his last 5 drafts have been Pickett (scrub), Najee (meh), Claypool (scrub), Bush (scrub), Edmunds (meh). That's essentially 2 NFL players out of 5. Not good.

 

Yea, I'd completely blame Colbert before Omar... For instance, the only player left from the 2020 draft is Alex Highsmith and looking back at 19 draft only players remaining are Zach Gentry and Dionte Johnson. 2021 isn't much better with Harris, Muth and Loudermilk being the lone hold outs. Poor drafting really set this team back. I think Khan got us on the right track with the solid draft this past year.

 

I am not happy with Omar trading Dotson away for a bag a magic bean. A 4th and a 5th, for Dotson and a 5th and a 6th.

 

In his defence, Dotson wasn't good for us. Now maybe it's because he was playing the left side instead of the right, but that doesn't really matter to a GM. If the coach will only play him on the left side and he can't do it, then he's useless. Dotson may also have struggled with our blocking concepts compared to the Rams. It's very different.

I think the question needs to be asked why wasn't Doston playing more on the right side, rather than why he was traded away.

 

Starting to see a pattern. Dotson is the 2nd best graded guard in football, and Kendrick Green looked dramatically improved before his injury.


What really bothers me about Dotson is he was a false start and penalty machine for us, but with the Rams, I think he's been flagged once all year?

 

Could've been because oh him overthinking techniques due to being out of position... It is weird for sure. Some things are definitely not being taught right and that falls on Pat Meyer.

 

Tomlin wanted him gone due to the penalties.

Faulk was a solid player but he is WAY off here. I mean common!

Guess he is in illusion land with Coach Cliche's riveting word salad and chorus of um's.

 

There's plenty of blame to go around.
The front office owns some it, for sure.
I'd admit that it's a tall order to find talent to fit what Canada described as an offense.
If players drop in the draft, there's usually a reason for it. You can draft those, but you better have your ducks in a row.
I would think this draft, they have to avoid the 'damaged goods' types.
I think the Front Office did a decent job, there's always going to be a miss or two.
My only gripe with them is allowing Canada to remain but I hope a lesson has been learned and the obvious has become the obvious.

 

All Omar can do is provide the ingredients. It’s up to Chef Tomlin to prepare them and turn them into a savory meal. At this point, everything is undercooked or burnt to a crisp.

 

its everyone's fault the ---Steelers suck--- the players the coaches the front office everyone no one is free of blame.

 

Now they have to fix the problems I don't want to see the Cowboys the 49ers the fn ravens be better than us FIX this show now.

 

it takes time it takes time we have no time its all

 

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t give anything said by national media any of your time.

 

So, is it Tomlin’s fault or Colbert’s?

 

It can't be both?

 

That thread title sent me way back. Omar Moreno came into my head. Old Pirate fans will get it.

 

Omar had a good 1st draft and his FA signings were pretty good.

Holcomb and Alexander looked good prior to being hurt.

Semeulo might be the the best lineman on the team at the moment.

Trading away Dotson hurt, but I think coaching staff having him at the wrong guard position might of had something to do with.


Also Dotson was hurt often his time here, he has been healthy for Rams as well.

 

Sure, I was just wondering. I’ve been reading Tomlin criticisms for a week (most are warranted) but no one had mentioned Colbert, keeping in mind how long he had been there and the players he drafted in the early 2000’s. But the statement I quoted talked about how screwed up he was and how good the new GM is. People seem to speak with a forked tongue when it comes to Tomlin.

 

That's a ridiculous take.
