    Agreed.



    Will be interesting to see what Art Rooney II does. It is time for him to decide what is best for not just the team but the entire organization as well. Quite a story to follow in the weeks yet arrived for certain.

    Closure on Bell, what they decide to do with AB, if they replace Butler, also they may have more salary cap money than usual.

    The crash of the Hindenburg was interesting too. But not very pretty.

    I think the time has come to realize that it’s a team game, and we need guys who will sacrifice for the team.

    AB’s numbers were down this year, and he looked a step slower. That may have been due to an undisclosed injury? Who knows? Might be time for him to prolong his career and become a slot guy?

    Ben might need to be reigned in. Maybe he needs to accept we need a strong run game, like Elway at the end of his career.

    Reign Ben in? Try it and watch his behavior. He's already said INTs don't bother him. He's a gunslinger and he's always gonna be a guy that takes chances. Those are his words.

    Exactly but if your putting up those kinds of numbers then it's more or less part of his success.

    Maybe we can just start out small, like get an offensive coordinator that doesn't just call in, "what do you want to do Ben?"

    I'm so tired of the Ron Cook mantra that anyone who wants Tomlin gone is nuts. The ongoing assessment by Cook is that he (Tomlin) needs a little more help on game day. He suggested that the steelers hire a clock management specialist and a play review specialist to assist Tomlin. ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME COOK? Game day IS Tomlin's day! Is he a good coach for just 6 days a week and on Sunday he needs help? So let me get this straight...on Game Day he has an OC to call the offensive plays, a DC to call the defensive plays so with all that time during the game that appears to be free, shouldn't he be thinking about the clock and reviews? If on the day that he needs to be in charge he needs help...why is he here?

    If we are bringing Ben back, Foles won't want to come here and be a backup. He wants, and deserves to be a starter. I can see him landing on the Giants, Titans (If they move on from Mariota), Jacksonville, Dolphins, Patriots (If Brady retires. Which I don't expect), or Denver.

    "Going to be interesting....", why are you speaking in future tense?

    This was discussed at the end of last season, a coach to coach Coach Tomlin.

    I had the same thought that the Steelers should focus on being more of a run offense and draft another RB to handle the load when Connor can't play. Let's face it, Connor is not the most durable RB in the league and will have stretches when he will be nursing some kind of injury.
