Mike Tomlin Press Conference Notes 11/20/12

I'm sorry, but what a joke about not seeing Leftwich being injured or having his play affected. If he didn't see the obvious it's up to one of the other coaches to point it out. Everyone else on the planet observing that game saw it.

 

No kidding. I dont' even see how Tomlin can spout this BS. It was clear as day Lefty was affected by his injury. He winced every time he threw the ball. You cannot properly throw a ball if you're wincing every time, the body will just not allow you to do something that causes pain. The body will make you adjust to try to limit the pain. Tomlin cost us that game.

 

I'll be happy when his press conference is about something other than injuries.

 

Amen to that. My god it seems like it's getting worse each year anymore

 

Maybe some glasses are in order

 

you dont dee how tomlin can spout it ?? have you watched any pressers for the last 5 years.. its what he does. his standard is the standard BS... its what he does.. i thikn usually hes a good coached.. he coached his worst game ever sunday night from the start when he selected charlie over lefty.. but he does the worst on pressers.. why even have a presser with him and his tomlinisms and BS

Big B will be back for the Bmore game! My opinion but not that he is rushed back, just that I don't think the injury was ever that serious

 

Yea, I don't get it. He was holding his side every time he threw the ball.

 

i kinda get that feeling as well.

 

So true dude. If the league supposedly has all these measures in place to increase safety how can they just stand there and watch a guy suffer and not set their foot down and tell him he has to come out of the game. I know the training staff looked at him but I'm really starting to wonder how good of a staff we have anyway. I mean look at how banged up our guys stay. Maybe we need a whole new conditioning crew or something. It's just been one thing after another this year. Also look at how fragile Woodley has been too. I'm just starting to wonder is all. Anyone have any insight on this?

 

Agreed... I love to hear him talk, but it is becoming more and more difficult to believe anything that comes out of his mouth...
How can he sit there with a straight face, and tell us, he saw nothing wrong with Byron/ believed what he told him?!?!
And on a side note, If the "Standard", is playing inconsistentley.. yeah, our backups have been doing that..
2nd side note.. to all (Myself included), who wanted Hood to be replaced, It sounds like he might be...
Didj`ya notice the comment about "Lumbar strain"? Sounds like a back injury, to me...

 

Isn't it now required that an independent trainer be up in the both to see injuries that those on the ground miss? I know this was put in place to detect concussions, but wouldn't someone holding his ribs qualify, too? Didn't a team get in trouble last year for not "seeing" an injury?

 

Let Cam Heyward play. He had a little fire in his belly the other night. There is nothing that's gonna make me any more happy than to see us come out Sunday with a chip on our shoulder and absolutely destroy anything that moves in a Cleveland uniform. I hope the team will rally around Charlie and the line will play smart but nasty and just crush the clowns. I'd love to see the look on Tomlin's face if he had to hand the game ball to Charlie when it's all said and done. I know that's probably a long shot but I'd love so see him send a message to Tomlin that the old man still has it.

 

not that serious? a rib injury that was so rare only one other this year to compare it to .. the fact that had the rib moved the wrong way ben dies from a punctured aorta? the main way blood moves away from the heart and the rib moves in. punctures it .. and ben dies ? sounds pretty F ing serious to me?

damn tomlin... i agree with you.. this is starting ot become a habit... either you are getting a lot smarter or im getting a lot dumber lol .. i never used to agree with you on anything except wanting OUR steelers to WIN !!! nice post my friend

i hate to hear him talk.. usually i think hes a good coach that has the team pretty well prepared.. but as i said long before the game. his worst decision ever was to start leftwich over batch... thats just stupid... and then to pass twice near the goal line when we are running the ball for 5 or 6 yards a clip was poor play calling.. and a fade that is thrown out of bounds? you may as well jsut throw the ball into the stands.. the fade is stupid ... but to listen to him talk.. and i said it before and you guys slammed me for it .. but his standard is the standard makes me want to puke and is the biggest bu ch of BS.. is the standard the same with lefty or batch or miller at QB instead of ben? NOOOOOOOOOO ... is the standard still the standard with plax at WR rather then AB... its just total BS.. and then he said he didnt see ANYTHING that made him think there was anything wrong with leftwich? what game was tomlin watchin? what a joke? right before tomlin challenged the spot of the ball.. leftwich was sucking wind like casey hampton in denver.. are you kidding me.. he was sucking wind more then i would be? looked liek he was ready to pass out or have a heart attack.. and he said i didnt see anything.. then he needs glasses or needs to watch the same game as the rest of us... his press conferences are a joke..

HINES

 

Yea, the same injury that has him listed as doubtful instead of "definitely out", Cotch and Lefty have rib injuries and they are out, like I said, im not thinking rush him back if that's even the case but I don't always believe what I hear off the bat

 

so if ben is only doubtful instead of OUT why did we sign another QB when we only dress 2 anyway? if he had any chance at all to play they wouldnt have signed another QB? its just typical tomlin BS talk.. trust me hes out this week

HINES

 

Tomlin should run for Politics once his coaching career is done. Not that I would ever vote for the guy but people buy up his BS in droves. Surely, he would get elected.

 

Wow really? I never got that impression - at ALL. The thing with Tomlin not knowing Lefty was hurt is crap and cost us the game. Not sure if he is just covering his ass because he knows that or what, but he sounds like a moron saying that.

 

He has certainly mastered the art of saying nothing. I think when he's in the filmroom he also watches and analyzes Bill Belichik's pressers. LOL.
