Let the off season begin.

oh i agree. TJ isn't the best at it either. sawyer may be the best of the bunch at that. price per tackle is outrageous by two of those guys. that's what you have to weigh if the switch goes to more money towards the offense. i just have this vrabel vibe going on if we let him walk away. one is 24 and one is 28. they can't get rid of TJ with the money they just paid him. they never should have paid that much to him. JMHO.

 

We shall see. Every season is different.
Let's use last year for example, we played the NFC north , and most people thought we wouldn't win any of those games, and if we did it would be against Packers, and Bears, and not the Lions, and the Vikings. Yet it was the Lions, and Vikings we beat, and lost to the Packers, and the Bears.

 

I noticed you left out....
Nolls last season we went 7-9
Cowhers last season we went 8-8
Tomlins last season we went 10 - 7

 

that's 25-24 and that's a winning record.

 

This is telling:

League insider Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday night former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni landed the same position with the Las Vegas Raiders. While great for Azzanni, that wasn’t exactly good news for former Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. The ex-Steelers DC now has the distinction of being the final assistant from Mike Tomlin’s last Pittsburgh staff without a job this offseason.

 

Mike Tomlin's coaching tree.

 

Would you want to return to this mismanaged team?

 

Nope. Their entire starting OL are all FAs. Could get even uglier in Cleveland. Teller played on the right, and I don't know if he or MM can play the left, but Teller is a damn good Guard and we need one.

 

It's the Myles Garrett school of contract negotiation.

 

And Tomlin won the Super Bowl with Cowhers 8-8 team
