    "If we can, and I can, continue to mix it up and not just give them something they can just, 'Okay, hey, this is what we have," that gives us an advantage. Because I stand up here, and I've said it before, I think we have good players. So that allows them to play and not play at a disadvantage. I've got to continue to try and do my best for our guys to get them in the best positions so they can perform."

    If you're three years in as DC over a 34-year coaching career I don't know if this qualifies as next-level thinking.

    Yep, no question, this is ALL Tomlin. The conservative offenses the bend AND break defenses with NO aggressiveness in the secondary. We just let the other WRs and TEs come open and hope we can tackle em for no more than a 10 or 15 yard gain. Someone needs to tell Tomlin a first down only needs 10 yards. He seems to have gone mushy.

    Nothing will get better until Tomlin is ridden of out town, hopefully with malice. He's driving the Steelers into the ground and making a once proud franchise a laughingstock. It's a slow downhill grind, but another 10 years of this and we'll be picking first in 3 straight drafts.

    Tomlins side of the ball sucks. The most expensive d in league sucks. reason we lost yesterday was not offense. It was rotten d that never covers the middle of the field that runs ancient d schemes. Groundhog Day for Steelers. Team quits at end of year. Good news is schedule is brutal rest of way so we can end the never had a losing season crap. Fire the entire front office including whole coaching staff start over stale as month old bread

    Might as well dump Austin now. When you have one player questioning the schematics, others will follow. The longer they keep this guy, the worse things are going to get.

    They gave him an extension in 2024 to take him to 2026.

    I'm willing to bet if they are going to fire him, it will happen middle of next season.

    Our highest paid defense is terribly coached and coming apart at every nail.

    I'll be surprised if they make changes after the season. Remember the standard!

    You nailed the crux of the problem. Same old, same old with Tomlin lead team. We suck donkey balls. We fold in big moments. We haven't been a REAL contender in well over a decade. Yet he keeps getting extended.

    Correction, Rooney and Tomlin suck donkey balls. We're just passionate, angry, hungry and trying to fend off inevitable apathy that comes with being so predictably medicore or bad.
