CHRIS, I love how fast you talk. Half the videos on TH-cam I need to speed up the videos bc they talk so slow. Keep up the great work, you are building your own sports analyst legacy.
I think the real problem is cam Sutton he’s been out of place on almost every touchdown the last three games maybe the suspension affected him more than we thought because he hasn’t been now where near as productive as he usually is in this system.
How is that an explanation that Pickens not suppose to go deep?? Come on Chris! Pickens is EXTREMELY Sensitive and dealing with such you can never pass blame you hold there hand and that's what Tomlin is doin here
Screw all of this. We went into the shortest stretch with a ton of guys missing. The bottom line is that I can live with a splash play from any offense when it is defended properly. When you get burned by ten yards every time, that is a problem. That needs to be fixed. Moreover, when you expect Russel to save the game without his weapons, call that a good night with a Steelers loss.
Tomlin covered for George I don’t see him throwing him under bus in week 18 in must win game and entering playoffs Gp needs to grow up I love dudes potential he can be a superstar but with the last ten years of diva wide outs I got to be honest I’m over it dude needs to grow up or move on
I'm 31 been a steelers fan my whole life thus far I've seen the good and bad wr we have had abd I agree I'm good on a diva wr after ab I still have ptsd from ab leaving so anything similar to that I'm good we should move on. Hell can we just get a good consistent wr like Hines or S holmes no divas just hard working players 💯
Hopefully Roman Wilson and another WR drafted will lessen Pickens drama queen impact, cut Jefferson, Miller, Patterson, Pruitt immediately when season ends
Incorrect Chris, as suspected, Tomlin was covering for Pickens. On 'channel seven' Footbahlin podcast- Ep.65, at the 47:23 mark.. Go have a listen to what Ben said about that play...
Naw that's on Russ, the media has a funny way of painting one person the good guy & the other the bad guy, Jaylen Warren, & I think Jefferson was wide open on the other side
@ you can tell y’all either trolls or not real fans… what do you want him to do, throw him under the bus? Y’all wouldn’t make it as a coach at all… y’all don’t know what goes on in that locker room. Y’all just wanted someone to be put in front street… that messes with chemistry
Why would Russ say he expected George to run a different route, too? I don't give Coach Tomlin the benefit of the doubt here. He treats George like he's volatile because he is.
I might be a dummy but if a team is having trust issues this late in the season, that might be a problem. Hopefully they can fix that. I think they can start by protecting the ball and full stop on all the unforced errors. The turnovers have crushed us. The stupid penalties have crushed us. Changed the course of all 3 of those games. Yeah, Russ, Najee-I’m talking to you.
Tomlin should not blame to defense for bounces that don’t go their way Defensive turnovers are not enough of a plan to win games Need a better offensive plan
@@steven-si1ol - have you looked at the sack count? When was the last time we watched a season of Steelers football and the starting ILBs had ZERO sacks for the season? Currently, Roberts has one single sack and Bishop has 0.5 sacks and not another player off of the front 5 have a single sack-even Benton has Zero and Larry O only has 1.5 on the season. And where are the adjustments to mitigate this shortcoming? It’s really bad-and Tomlin has ZERO answers.
Too many ex defensive players are saying Pickens gave up on his route. Tomlins was protecting him knowing that would take him to DIVA LAND! Russ put that ball on a dime but Pickens laid off!! PERIOD!
I would sit Pickens for the remainder, franchise tag him, then trade him. What he did going up to Mahomes was way too much disrespect to the franchise.
Gotta love how you put everything on Russell Wilson‘s back on the offensive issues when the offensive line has been graded as one of the worst offensive lines over the last month in the NFL the only one grading at or above level is their center. How about we count for horrible coaching and clock management and also take account for yeah it’s just an average too good football team needs a lot more than Russell Wilson to carry it. Justin Fields definitely isn’t that answer either.
Don’t forget the pass rush from the interior… Benton has no sacks on the season and Larry O has just 1.5-though I believe a better DC/HC could get more sack production than this staff.
@mike2687 You almost have to think Tomlin isn't trying sometimes, look how long Loudermilk gets to be on the team, he's bad at run stopping and has 1 sack in his 4 yr career, most coaches would've moved on to other prospects
@ - I’ve made similar arguments in the past, in that, Tomlin is sluggishly slow to make moves… Canada was a bad hire but it was even worse to keep him requiring a midseason firing because the fans were chanting for it. Not that KP was the answer, but it just goes to show how his slow decision making makes Pittsburgh a bad spot for a young QB to land. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Jones thrives on the left side just as Dotson’s game vastly improved by moving back to his natural spot. Look at Mason-also probably not the answer-but he was the best QB for the team. Now I understand going with the draft pick in an attempt to develop him but he should’ve been no worse than QB2… instead, it was Mitch until a couple minutes remaining in a 2 score game… make that change before the game or even at the half and they have a chance to win. There’s really too many examples to choose from. As far as not trying-I sometimes think he finds value in keeping a loss from being a blowout-punting when down multiple scores late in the game because the Ravens might get in the 40s with a short field… sure, the Steelers don’t have the ideal personnel to play man to man but don’t admit that Kelce is a zone killer and play zone so much-I think Tomlin finds value in giving up long scoring drives rather than the potential quick strike keeping KC under 30. In short, he seems to take the approach of playing not to lose rather than playing to win… and often plays for the aesthetics rather than the truth. Last example of this-KP obviously needed more development to be a franchise QB but Tomlin only had him throw something like 4-7 throws per preseason game (far less than JF got this year). But he looked really good, especially against the Bills… but it was fool’s gold in a very small sample size. Playing for a half of a preseason game could’ve risked spoiling the positive optics of how KP looked. I could go on tangent rants all day about this-so I’ll stop!
@williamelliott778 In my opinion, no. The Jets defense was still one of the best in the league when they faced them, and our defense did not play well against the giants. He played great to help secure that win. That's with us getting two TDs called back too, game shouldn't have been close. He was not a big turnover guy over the past three seasons, so it's surprising to see it happening now. Before this skid, we were a top 10 offense, too. I think these next two games will be more definitive.
@@destanicollins6303 I think those are good points and I also think he played well against those teams. What concerns me is not the turnovers agree, he has not in the past had a history of turnovers. What concerns me is his reliance on the deep ball and inability to really master the short game a key tool in todays NFL. Teams can game plan out the deep ball and have against the likes of Mahomes even before he lost all his receivers even Burrow does not live the the deep ball in part because of their lines. Also, it seems to me once QBs get older they no longer want to be hit, I see this in Russ. Very bad at moving in the pocket and seems unnerved. We saw this in Ben, see it in Rogers now, and even saw that in Brady in the last year among others. Just too many hits over time. He can run some, but if we are going to live on someone fleeing the pocket we have better options. But for me this is about committing to a guy for the next three years, not if he is the best option today. I would also argue that if you go back and watch the film, many of his deep balls, though completed have been under thrown, and could have been touch downs or longer gains. Watch this. Also, he does not seem to have a heater anymore, only lofted balls. All Fields has is a heater, he needs to watch Wilson and develop touch. But it is also a problem not to have a heater. Not being definitiive on this, but there is enough if looked at closely which would suggest might be a mistake. I would ask, what do you think is more likely, next year Russ, another year older with additional hits, is better than this year, the same as this year, or worse? And what we have learned from the last three games, we would need him to be better. So, if he has peeked, might be better to a least give someone else chance who presents a higher ceiling, whoever that is before locking yourself into not quite good enough and quite possible on the decline. In answering, consider his last four years not just the touchdown to interception ratio but how he got there and his problems with staying in the pocket and manipulating it, using the middle of the field, having gas on his throws, seemingly unwillingness to take hits in the pocket. These are not things that just show up over the last three games. Also, look at all his games this year and how many has he thrown for more than 250. Just signs for concern could be wrong. He has two more games at least to show that he can be more. He will face two struggling teams, he needs to show well.
@williamelliott778 I think your concerns and observations are valid and good. I like Russ to be the guy until they find the next true franchise QB. That vet to rookie transition is still the best way to go in my opinion. There's not going to be many options in this upcoming free agency, and draft.
Watch what PQ says lol.. You guys don't get real answers if you can't read body language or tone of voice facial expression you'll never know what these dudes talking bout
Also, if you had to predict that next year Russ is more likely to get better at 36, decline, or stay the same as he has been in totality this year not just the guy against the Raiders, Jets, and Giants? They should really think about this before investing in him next year. What say you?
Steelers are 🗑️ every year is the same! Somewhere in the WC if they even make the playoffs. Then get their doors blown off in the first playoff game. Tomlin can’t figure out offense. Nothing will change. They overpay for defensive players like Patrick Queen to try and compensate for it. Hung on to Big Ben 3-4 years too long and haven’t found an answer since. It would be so Pittsburgh to give Wilson an extension and continue the irrelevance…
Russ is going to cost $40M anyway, with incentives that allow him to be paid like a younger superstar QB (e.g., Jared Goff) if he plays like one and duplicates the results of those QBs. Daniel Jones wasn’t nearly as good as Russ is this year, three-game slide notwithstanding, and got $40M. If the Steelers don’t sign him, the Raiders, Colts, Browns, Jets, or even the Dolphins might. He won’t want to play in Carolina.
Turnover culture? They’re right in the middle of the pack in takeaways. Nothing special. How about doing things like TACKLING? How about being where you’re supposed to be? I’ve already given up on Pitt. Haven’t watched them in quite sone time. I’m not there yet with Pittsburgh, but Rooney and Tomlin are running this organization right into the ground. I’m just deflated and exhausted with it

If any team got more out of the 2024 draft than the Stillers, then the name escapes me. That's why Khan is a first-balled Hall of Famer.

I can hear the screaming of Steelers fans when he said “we won’t be changing our preparation” lol 😂 you gotta love tomlin.
I'd like to hear what you think Pickens was suppose to do on that play???
Wonder how many have been on Minkah!
Chris you have to go back to the mid 80's, Stallworth retired and left Lipps alone, Pickens is by himself
What happened to signing another wr
? Where u been

Yeah, saw that, have talked with several others who disagree, including people *currently* in the organization.
Tomlin will ultimately let gp hang himself in game then move on he did it with Ab although ab was far more productive
Naw that's on Russ, the media has a funny way of painting one person the good guy & the other the bad guy, Jaylen Warren, & I think Jefferson was wide open on the other side
Ben isn't the QB god even he made dumb mistakes & that's just what that was on Wilson's part
@@dlc8506 Bro Chris gonna lose followers for lying or drinking the Tomlin Kool Aid
