i am so sick of the standard is the standard

Regardless of the effect on the Steelers...

I've found myself using "the standard is the standard" at work far too much recently, but I've found that when I'm in meetings with higher up management-types it seems to work like an absolute charm whatever the subject or context of meeting. I was going to write to Tomlin to thank him for getting me out of **** at work several times.

 

I also stand by the last part of my post which you decided NOT to quote.."#93 doesnt fall on his ass #94 gets a sack on this play!!!!"

 

If #93 doesn't fall down, what if #94 does? What if he gets hurt. What if....

 

Had to watch it on mute, only so much I can take

 

HUH, WHAT ,REALLY?????? #94 DID NOT fall down or get hurt,he was on a bee line toward#18!! #93 ended up on his ass and did not do his job on this play!!! If he did #94 would have wrapped #18 in a bear hug and taken him to the ground for a sack!!! END OF STORY!!!!!!

 

Curious...others have said it was an angle. Why don't you speak with them for a while. You gotta "win" this one or something?

I am not disagreeing with you that there was other breakdowns on the play. Geez...every play has breakdowns somewhere. You can't factor in IF this or IF that happens, then this will happen.

Carry on..

 

"Others have said".....you cant think for yourself??... Win this one?? What am I trying to win? ...That Im having a battle of wits with a unarmed person?? Think that battle is won!!!

 

What he said.

Now, I gotta figure out how to block him - I don't have time for childish banter. Oh, and I won't slip and fall down or take any bad angles doing it either.

 

I see the following message where "myron's" posts were: This post was made by Myronwemissyinz who is currently on your ignore list.

TTF, if a "user" is in your foe list, can they still message you or does this just block posts?

Worth a few minutes of time to set it up. Great feature, ty!

 

I am picking on him because he is WRONG!! As far as me picking on ONLY him...he was the most vocal......We are talking about one play...#94 shoots the gap and has a a straight shot at #18....in the mean....#93 gets knocked on his ass and loses contain...#18 rolls out for a first down and EVEREYONE blames #94....WHY??????

 

Timmons took a gamble on that play and it didn't work....#93 took a wide step to the outside and it created a inside lane at which time #93 went to spin inside and fell down....So even if #93 would have stayed on his feet the spin move inside, coupled with Timmons shooting inside Manning would have still got the edge....

Neither guy made a bad play they both wanted to get in that Gap,,,,I will say 1 of the 2 must set the edge and neither one did,,, hard to fault either player on that play IMO....

 

bingo

 

I admit that this is one of those things that we will never know 100% because we aren't in the defensive huddle, but it seems like a pretty safe assumption to me that Timmons was not responsible for the edge on that play. I know that anything's possible and Timmons could have been assigned the outside on that play, but that seems really unlikely to me. He's the inside linebacker, and Worilds is the edge rusher. Timmons is blitzing from the beginning, either because that was the plan or because he read that the RB was pass blocking and went for it. From Worilds' perspective, it makes sense to me that he wouldn't expect Manning to make a run for the outside, so I understand his attempt at a spin inside. But that's still his responsibility, and his ass on the line if he blows it. Either way, I don't see how Worilds can assume anyone else will be out there in case he fails. And if it was a planned blitz by Timmons, then he really shouldn't have gone inside. If he'd stayed on the edge, they either would have had a very fast sack or he would have had to throw it someplace he clearly didn't want to.

 

If you are intelligent enough to figure out how to do it....Really hurts my feelings!!!.....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exclamation point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hnmmmmmm is it time for a toaster post yet?

 

So - this thread is close to meeting the STANDARD for a toaster post eh? Well - the standard IS the standard - so I'll wait until it has been met.

 

I don't mind "The standard is the standard" line from Tomlin much. Though, I do grow weary of all the injuries.

The quotes that bother me are the ones after a loss such as, "we didn't make enough plays" or "we didn't come up with the game defining plays" or "we didn't make enough plays down the stretch but they did." Those are the ones that bother me. Instead, what I would like to hear is what exactly the problem is/was, and why it was a problem. Many of us fans can identify glaring issues, but it would be nice to hear the coaching staff admit to them--it would give me some comfort knowing that they have at least identified problematic issues. I often find I prefer hearing from the players over the coaching staff because they are often more detailed and critical of the problems/issues that occurred during a loss. I wish the coaching staff was more that way.

 

I just wish he'd say "diddly poo" once or twice a season.

 

Yep - or use some Pittsburghese - like calling the refs a bunch of jagoffs or something. He definitely needs to get a little Western PA twang into his press conferences.

 

Intelligence? Um....okay.
