    So what we're saying is we don't have DB's who can cover for 2.27 seconds?

    If that's the case then what's the point spending draft capital on them?

    Let me help you in your time of need

    You do not any player dictate his playing time

    Players get playing time by earning it

    See isn’t it fun to learn

    His protest year. OK, fair enough. My personal belief is that he thought Tomlin was an idiot, so I allow it. I think Troy thought the same, but he was professional about it, I guess. Harrison went 100% on and off the field and I love the guy. True Steeler.

    You're a fool if you think it's okay for a player making millions from a team to fall asleep in meetings, just because he's upset about his playing time :facepalm:.

    Or maybe Harrison was washed up, and they decided to play their two first round picks at OLBs.

    Every good player would be upset with only 2-3 snaps per game, especially for a Hall of Fame caliber player like James Harrison.

    For sleeping in meetings... I can't blame him, since the defensive game plans weren't the most impressive... it was actually very boring, especially for a player who averaged 3 snaps per game.

    Why do you think Harrison didn't deserve to be in the rotation in 2017?

    He had a very good year in 2016 but never had a chance in 2017.

    I hope you never coach if you think it's okay for a player to act like that :facepalm:.

    We’re not winning anything unless TJ comes alive.

    Tomlin magic or not, doesn't matter. This defense is built around Watt, thats the way they set it up, for good or ill thats the way it is.

    11 super talented guys ≠ good team defense. We can't keep having almost half the defense being turned over on a yearly basis. There's no stability which leads to chemistry and communication problems. The offense is going to have to carry us until this defense figures it out and I kinda like the scheme Smith created making this a TE dominated offense. He's scheming guys like Washington open. But even its still a work in progress, but there's at least something to hang our hats on moving forward.

    No, no, no, it is not okay for a player to fall asleep in a meeting.

    Could you fall asleep in a meeting at your job? "I'm justified in doing that because the meeting was boring."

    We don't know that either Harrison or Troy thought Tomlin was an idiot, and even if they did, it wouldn't justify being insubordinate.

    Could you get away with passive agressive crap on your job?
