Where are the "Smart" players?

What we saw is nothing new with this team. I know there's a few older threads from the last 2 years here that we've said the same stuff I'm putting below.

When you see a receiver uncovered and god old Tom Brady is calling for a quick snap your first thought should be "call a TO!"

When the ball is lose and you saw it pop out, you should probably get to the ball faster than the TE that was further away.

When you're playing a QB that throws a lot of quick passes and you're not getting pressure on him, get your damn hands up into the passing lanes!

Try to come in at a correct angle to make the tackle! Wrap up and bring the guy down!

This stuff isn't rocket science and they keep telling us how athletic and speedy this team is, but the basics are not happening!

What are they doing in practice? What kind of mental preps are happening? If the current method isn't getting it done maybe they need to rethink how they approach these things?

 

Apparently, the smart players are in a zip code that doesn't start with 152

 

"He Hate Me" ?

 

You're on top of your game today!

This one, and the "we suck butt" innuendo.

 

wheres the smart coach?...our useless kicker just missed a 44 yarder by and mile...then Moron Tomlin gives the guy another try at 46, instead of going for it on 4th down...now they just gave the cheats mid field 2 plays in a row

 

Where are the "Smart" players?

Easy one! Retired!!!!!!!!!!

 

To be fair, Garvin was trying to call a TO when he saw Gronk going uncovered at the goal-line. Nobody saw him though.

 

One thing that bothered me was when Ben was complaining about the mid cadence shift which drew the false start, he said that they had seen them do stuff like that on film.

Hello, Bueller!!!

 

Forget about smart players, where are the good players?

 

Good players that play dumb look like bad players. We're a stupid football team and we have been for years. We make the dumbest mistakes I've ever seen from a pro team and we constantly make them. Our clock management skills are embarrassing. I can't believe the coaches and Ben continue to mangle the clock. I can't believe nothing has been done to fix that yet. Does nobody in the whole franchise see that issue? If Tomlin can't fix it, then bring in someone to mentor him on how to manage a cock. It's unreal that a coach can't figure it out by now, but clearly he can't and obviously never will.

 

You might want to edit that sentence on how to manage

 

Shaner I have been asking this for 9 years and he still doesn't get it.
I am sick and tired of it. We are severely out manned by quality coaching staff's. We will never when a coaching battle (preparedness) with quality coaches. And yet the Rooney's let him get away with it??????WHY

 

This is probably my biggest problem with Tomlin. I would NEVER have Suisham kick from outside 45. Tomlin seems to all the time. Now he is doing the same thing with a kicker he doesn't know. Steelers also have a very inexperienced punter in Berry.

Special Teams has been an afterthought under Tomlin.

 

Need I remind you Shaner that both cowher and noll were accused of being poor clock managers

 

AMEN !!!

 

Seems this whole Team manages that pretty well they are very good at chocking that seems relevant to such management skills referenced above....

 

How about Ben, with 38 seconds left in the game, he lets the clock run down to 13 before calling a TO, in most of these situations the head coach would call a TO, bad clock management by both ben and mt...

 

Apparently all the "smart players" are out here in cyberspace opining on this MB.

 

Yup Diamond I forgot Ben. he does not get a pass with the bad clock management. he is the game manager

 

Yep, but what makes it so frustrating is that the dumb mistakes and terrible clock management is basic little league or high school stuff and should be easily fixed.

 

Dumb happens everywhere, and it is hard to understand. Onside kick to start overtime? Throwing a pass instead of holding on to it to let the clock run at then end of the game? It ain't just the Steelers, folks. Dumb abounds everywhere. Football players, and coaches, aren't the brightest.

 

The Rooney's are paying these guys MILLIONS, to do their job,
clock mgmt is one of their job duties. This has been going on the whole Mike Tomlin era. How come he gets a free pass?He gets a free pass on anything, defense plays bad, the people blame Butler/ Lake. Never old MT. MT is sort of like these CEO at these large fortune 500 co, company is continuously losing money yet he is still receiving his 13 million/yr while laying off the guy/women making 60. And he gets the golden retirement package after their fleecing of an iconic company. Where is MT creativity,thinking out of the box strategy. Does anybody know's MT core values?
