I heard about that and was intrigued initially.
Might this be the year that the whole coaching staff gets the boot, and the Steelers start with a totally new look? 3 playoff wins in 10 years ...
THIS^^^ I want someone who is from a team like KC or SF or Miami, with a modern offensive passing scheme and not overly obsessed with running the ball. Someone who is the opposite of the perceived "Steelers Football"
But but but…if you fire Tomlin, he will be hired within 60 seconds and maybe even by the Browns!
yes he would because the nfl re-circulates the same coaches and honestly, he'd probably succeed at his next destination. Both sides would benefit, it happens all the time with nfl coaches. andy reid is probably the greatest example of needing new scenery..
It doesn't matter what your scheme is when you have Mahommes running your offense.
Well I lived in Philadelphia, the situation was a lot like Pittsburgh now.
Who and where is the next Chuck Noll and/or Bill Cowher? Granted, Tomlin has not had any losing seasons, but under our previous two coaches we won a hell of a lot more playoff games. Cowher basically "teed up" a dynasty team for Tomlin when he retired, and all Tomlin achieved was one Super Bowl (miracle) win and a loss (that never should have happened). Results from that point forward are pedestrian at best ...
Lots of play action. Lots of motion. The Steelers do none of that and are the most predictable team in the league that gives away their plays on every down. Combined with Frisco having guys running open on every play…yeah I’d say yinzers find that attractive.
They have excellent offensive players.
You can't run a bunch of play action if you don't run the ball well.
Canada doesn't use any motion other than jet, which every defense ignores because no one cares if Calvin Austin or Connor Heyward gets 7 yards once a game. The other 10 times we run jet it's a handoff and the edge crashes in and kills the RB.
True, but I want to play the way Andy Reid plays and whatever happens happens, then do what I can to fill the position of QB with someone who can handle it, make that my #1 priority.
They get receivers open in space, that's priority one IMO, Steelers receivers are always blanketed fighting for contested catches.
Any outside offensive coach is superior to any Steelers coach, including Tomlin.
That's stupid, that's Yinzer Orgasm offense and it's for morons, it sucks, Rooney and Tomlin are such idiots, they think nonsense like that can actually work
Big argument, which Reid in Philadelphia was his ability to make adjustments in the second half.
He said they he made mistakes with Donovan. He over corrected him about mistakes and it made him hesitant and conservative. He didn’t do that with Mahomes, he just lets him play.
The other thing that I think that stands out in Shanahan’s offense in SF is the presnap motion. It’s extremely effective because all of those guys are potential receiving targets, but also because they are all physical blockers. So a FB in motion could be a potential receiver and a WR in motion could be blocking an edge (or even running the ball). And the same alignments and movements are used to run and pass. So the defense has to hesitate and respect every guy.
Dorsey is pretty underwhelming IMO. Daboll really helped make Josh Allen what he is and Dorsey has sort of rode that, but not sure he could recreate that magic without a talent like Allen.
I heard a rumor in Canada's 1st year when he was trying to replicate some of his college stuff with all the shifts/motions paired with the jet sweeps, it was made fun of by some of the players and it fell out of favor. Much of Canada's success is having the QB go under center and be a tremendous distributor with great fakes and such and Ben was buying into all of that so they stayed more in the gun.
Good point. Although It wasn’t an argument it was the truth. He still has this problem. But a legendary once-in-a-generation QB like Mahomes completely negates any need to make changes….so this doesn’t even come into play for Reid anymore. Basically he still doesn’t make adjustments and is pretty ineffective when his 10-20 scripted plays run out. But his star QB just wins games for him anyway.
