What are Reasonable Expectations for Mike McCarthy in year one with the Steelers?

A great speaker I disagree with. Um city. But a great wordsmith is his wheel house. I couldn't stand listening to his babble. And how he rated the opposition in his Tuesdays pressers like they all were All Pros. I stopped listening to his word salad a couple of years ago.

"I can't give you the ingredients to a hot dog you might not like it" WTF?

Squashing grapes to make grape jelly or something asinine like that.

Now his word salad babble is probably going to be on NBC Football Night in America since Dungy was fired.

 

Tomlin is gone and yet the usual suspects are still whining

There are some people who just whine all the time

I feel sorry for them

 

I'm not whining... just relieved that Popcorn moved on to his life's work.

 

I would like to add just a bit more here is a video of Manning showing kids the 5 step drop..https://www.google.com/search?q=the...ate=ive&vld=cid:42d29560,vid:5QJmwm95DEo,st:0

The big key is when the QB hits that backfoot the ball comes out ..It's not a look read and scan the field ..What does that mean ? It means the QB has to know the Defense , he has to see the correct guy to throw to before the snap .. In other words study a lot of tape and trust that study so the ball comes out on time..

The reason I expanded on this , because it relates to the 2 minute drill as well.. What Defensive package is on the field ? What type of coverages are they trying to run ? Where are the weakest spots ? What are our best plays ? So on and so on.. The moral to the story is more film study , more knowing what to do ..

Command thru knowledge and practice ..Basically the Coach needs the QB to be the Coach on the field a lot of the times ...Know what to do and why comes 1st. and then execute ..

 

Few throws over the middle is what mostly happened in 2025 under Art Smith. He is gone. We should do a bit more of it in 2026...I think. The 2026 offense will be different.

 

Did you screw up reading the link or are you just making stuff up

Again

 

Tomlin apologists still going strong!

 

According to MM, he isn't watching a lot of tape either. He did a "lap with some of the scouts through a few prospects" or something.

I am bringing the fact that in Green Bay, MM got a rep for not really working all that hard compared to other coaches and then giving vague answers to try and slip out of the accusation.

Maybe he is better now...

 

Yeah....I can not really get into the details like you can. I can not remember the last NFL press conference Steelers related or otherwise that I actually paid attention to and watched first hand.

I can really only go by what I read/see second and third hand.

If you are saying there is a significant difference, than there is. Be interesting to see how post-game goes in the regular season.
