Steelers hire Midget

The Steelers hired Anthony Midget as their assistant secondary coach, the team announced Wednesday morning,

Midget had a brief career in the NFL. he was a fifth round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 2000 out of Virginia Tech, and eventually ended up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers through 2001 before beginning his coaching career as an assistant coach at Lake Worth High School in Florida.

He became a graduate assistant at Virginia Tech in 2007 before making the move to Georgia State as their defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator. He became Penn State’s safeties coach in 2013, and landed his first NFL job in 2014, as Bill O’Brien took him to Houston to be the Texans’ assistant secondary coach from 2014-17. He became the head secondary coach from 2018-19 before becoming the Tennessee Titans’ defensive backs coach from 2020-22. Now, he joins the Steelers staff.

Under his guidance, the Titans' secondary boasted an impressive third-down percentage defense, ranking third in the league. Opposing teams struggled to convert, managing to succeed on just 34.2 percent of their attempts against the Titans.

 

Title is misleading

 

a "small" mistake, that was "small-minded" of him.

there was another candidate but Anthony's experience dwarfed his.

people still always look down on him.

yes, I realize that I'm stooping low.

 

When I saw the title, I thought that maybe Harvey Clayton was coming back to the Black and Gold.

 

Bill Veeck returns!

 

is it a hip drop tackle if your hips are already at grass level? i know, low blow.

 

His play is heads just above Ballin out

 

Will fit in perfect with CAIII and the new corner we got.

 

Curious, do you want to change your handle DJ?? I'm not sure how we'd do that. Probably need to set up a new account?

 

I’d imagine he already has a few accounts

 

I’ve been asking the mods to help me for weeks!

 

Ya think

 

I used to work with a little person (that's the PC way to say it now) and she was a delightful individual, great personality and was well liked by all. But...she was very self-conscious and took offense over anything that was said pertaining to her height. She hated the word midget and anyone who used that was enemy no. 1! There were a few older, less PC clients that used to make reference to her height in front of her and she would become highly agitated over it. I remember once we were having a business after hours at our facility and my son, who was a musician, was scheduled to provide the entertainment for the evening. He planned to play a few originals and some covers, one of which was going to be Short People by Randy Newman (he had no idea that I worked with a little person, lol). As I heard him practicing his set and he started playing that particular song, I strongly suggested (demanded) that he remove that one from the set and explained why. Of course he did, not wanting to offend anyone. I love that song, though, lol.

 

Anthony little person...... this is gonna be a repeat of the old bad word lebeau fiasco

 

No ....You gotta keep it.

 

I would have played it for freaking sure after I found out. LoL

 

You'd have to know my youngest son. He's got a heart of gold and if he thought he'd hurt anyone's feelings, it would kill him. He definitely took after his mother.

 

The meds aren’t working

 

Send money.

 

Speaking of little people. My favorite shows with them in them. Life's To Short, an English series that Rick Gervais created. Warwick Davis was really funny in it. Did a great job. Game of Thrones and his other movies, Peter Dinklage, amazing and a Jersey boy. Dug The Wolf of Wall Street but not so much the little person part.

 

Not to me. I know Jeh is anti-click-bait and figured there's no way he would click-bait the title to have a look-at-me thread.

 

Keep working on your material little guy you are coming up short
