Interpreter Needed

What exactly is Tomlin saying here?? Is he sending Wilson a message?

 

First paragraph- Roman better have taken advantage of his benching to learn the playbook.
Second paragraph- Don't ask me about Metcalf and Austin. You play the game with the players you have, not the ones you wish you had.

 

I believe the two ole boys above me @Steel_Elvis , and @steelersrock151 translated this perfectly.

 

I can help here

He is saying:


"One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity," Tomlin said. "... I'm excited what this opportunity might mean for [Wilson] to display growth in the midst of a time where he hadn't been participating, to show his professionalism and his readiness and how he's been sharpening his sword for battle in the ranks while he hadn't been playing.

 

Translated

Mr. Wilson. You played well in camp. You played well in the few games you were active.

It was my decision not to play you.

Like 4 other men on offense who are now starting who weren't starting on day one, you are getting a chance due to circumstance. Not by my good judgement.

Remember the standard is the standard. And Mr. Art Rooney II says I pick the starters.

 

Don’t give up your day job

 

He’s still in school I believe

But he did suggest his mom and dad let him live in a million dollar house

 

Here I will translate what Tomlin wanted to say ...

Misfortune = Stupidity!!!!



Just wait for your opponent or the guy in front of you to make a stupid mistake and take advantage of it.

 

He's saying if Wilson wants any chance of being employed by the Steelers next year this is his last chance.

 

"You can waste a lot of time pining for those that you don't have"

Tomlin right about that. I do it all the time. If that player didn't get injured, if that dumbass didn't do dumbass things, if if if.
