Keith Butler and James Harrison already spilled the beans! Tomlin runs the defense! Butler said he never drew up one play for defense ! Coach T did,out his own mouth!
When was the last time you've seen Teryl Austin or Tomlin get the defense together on the sidelines and chew them the hell out when they didn't show enough fight or grit??????
They need to bring in special consultants on BOTH offense and defense. Bring in a passing game coordinator on offense and a senior defense assistant on defense.
Nobody cares if they're a Top 10 or even Top 5 "takeaway defense" if that's the ONLY thing they do well, which is what's happening. Wow, great, they get an interception per game. They also give up 400+ yards per game and Tomlin doesn't care because he's only focused on that 1 INT.
exactly! They are not playing straight-up conventional D well enough and get the other team to punt after minimizing the yardage, first downs, and ultimately ball control.
That's not all Tomlin thinks about. The narrative that Tomlin don't care, or is happy with where this team is , is pure trash. He wants the same thing that us fans do, wins, PO wins , and championships. The man probably works 15 hrs a day trying to right this ship. He has his faults, but that's definitely not one of them
@@kentsturgill5945If what you say about Tomlin is true, then why doesnt he change his ways? He knows his football philosophy isnt going to work in todays NFL. So why wont he change according to what needs changed? He just keeps on rolling the same ol dice from year to year. It seems everyone in his staff are just there to be his scapegoat. They get fired, but he stays, why???
@@kentsturgill5945 - I dunno-MT is a splash play guy… he loves the sacks, fumbles and INTs from his defense while his schemes allow for yards to be racked up in short and mid chunks but are built to stop the home run.
Honestly Tomlin lost that locker room. Everyone kinda started to fall apart at the end after the injuries. I just dont think this was the same team after Russ started either its almost like his presence slowed down the defense because we were winning games with Justin and our defense was pulling it off and Justin was starting to find a rhythm. I genuinely want Justin to start a aeason and see how he does. Worst case we lose a bunch and get a high draft pick and ill take a couple losing seasons to get a Jayden Daniels or CJ Stroud
Unprepared is the key word-I didn’t track it this year, but last season, nearly every opponent scored on their first, second or both possessions. Too often the opponent starts off with an advantage before they ever take the field.
They can fix their culture problem in one move. ‘The Steelers are announcing that they have release Larry Ogunjobe, Patrick Queen, and Donte Jackson. We appreciate their contributions to the team, but they put plays on tape that are unacceptable, from an effort standpoint, for the Pittsburgh Steelers. When we say ‘the standard is the standard,’ this is what we mean. In somewhat related news, we have hired James Harrison as a defensive assistant coach. If any players are reading this right now, I suggest that they log out of their social media, and report to the weight room. Training camp starts on July 16.’
This defense was not motivated at all in a playoff game, they are always having communication issues, tackling issues and very slow stating on the first two drives, who's fault it is no idea.
If our defense is going to be as bad as it was at the end of the season we need to cut the payroll close to half of what is now. Watt didn't have a great season. Fitzpatrick wasn't worth anywhere near his salary. Larry is overpaid and just not very good. I hated getting Sutton and everybody gave me a hard time when i said so. Also Porter is better than average cb but not a shut down corner.
The fact neither mentioned the whole "Matching Jumbo personnel with Nickel" thing shows you how many of the PPG/Ch.11 guys are utterly unqualified or just incompetent. Sorry, I try avoiding being like this, but these are the people who lob softballs to Tomlin on a week in week out basis. Not mentioning that embarrassing fact with the trivial/questionable assessments is just bad. Drafting an edge? Continuing to draft defense? Gtfoh 👎
You gotta be short bus shawty if you don't think both Tomlin and Teryl Austin isn't the problem. Tomlin thinks he's a defensive genius with his burnt out outdated philosophy and TA is just a yes man who won't get creative and make his own adjustments. The proof is all over.
The secondary has been getting picks off of errant throws from QBs under pressure for years… they have some good compilation videos to check out and very few of those INTs come from a DB glued to the WR or cutting under the route… in short, very few because of outstanding coverage, instincts or baiting a throw.
The regular season seems to be about checking boxes.....OK great, we got so many sacks and so many turnovers, but when push comes to shove in the playoffs, game plans and scheming matter above all else. And that has been inherently missing from day 1. We all know the questions surrounding MTs knowledge of the Xs and Os. He's a great one on one communicator and team communicator but his knowledge of game planning has been suspect for a very long time. Didn't we bring in the NYG coach to specifically combat the Patriots one game?? This lack of scheme and EFFECTIVE game planing has been missing for years. There is a very definitive plus to coaching consistency but it comes with a cost. And that cost is his lack of bringing forth a competent and winning game plan when the season comes to a close.
Austin is part of the failure but i think some of our position on defense our lacking too.minkah never was able to get back to roaming.im not sure as strong up the middle as we think and depth is still a concern
Did the Pittsburgh Steelers need to move on from George Pickens we don't need him big problem this year pick up two receivers from the Draft or sign a receiver
THE DEFENSIVE SCHEME NEEDS TO CHANGE THEY CAN'T COVER MODERN OFFENSES, MOTION ETC THEY STRUGGLE. THAT'S WHY THEY STRUGGLE AGAINST PLAYOFF TEAMS AND IN THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE OF THE SCHEME.
I’m sorry if a coach is gonna ask you to move around in a position you stood you’re getting paid big dollars and it is about winning and it is about the team. You can’t tell me that in the 70s they didn’t do what they were told too many divas.
changing the coordinators on this team is about as effective as throwing a deck chair off the Titanic - Mike Tomlin calls the defense because he's well-compensated, obviously
@samgayle9629 nothing is impossible. all he has to do is wave his no trade clause; and that’s not gonna happen unless real Fans such as me are persistent. so you can STFU😐 I’m about the truth👀 not your little whiny imagined comfort zone. The only constant in life is change. 😘
been a long time Steelers fan because my father and my uncle Larry mad sure my twin brother Ronald and me both was able to be there for most of the games, now I'm done ✅ with the Steelers as long as Mike Tomlin is still there, just lost another Steelers fan again okay 👌
The longer and more entrenched Tomlin becomes the less effect his "staff" has on the team plan. The offense and defense is now run by Tomlin, and both are faltering. Getting rid of Tomlin is not enough....Steelers fans need to help native Mark Cuban roust the Steelers organization away from the Rooney's....the Rooney's have become complacent and lazy.
😢my deepest apologies.. as A fan.. I'm so done wit this Tomlin team.. I'm here for the jersey and wats best for it.. this guy ain't it no more.. no losing seasons no winning ones either
Nothing will change while Tomlin is there. Especially on defense. Guaranteed same results next year. Too arrogant and stubborn to change. Just a lot of talk. Schemes and disguises are long gone. A mediocre team.
The real tired thing is everyone calling for Tomlin to get fired! Look people, Rooney and Tomlin both have had press conferences saying that he's not going anywhere so stop wasting your time, energy, and breath!!! It's getting really old, and even more annoying!!!! GET OVER IT AND FOCUS ON WHAT IS GOING TO CHANGE!!!! It doesn't do any good to keep reiterating something that we KNOW isn't going to happen!!!
Keith Butler and James Harrison already spilled the beans! Tomlin runs the defense! Butler said he never drew up one play for defense ! Coach T did,out his own mouth!
Which is why Tomlin should be fired and not TA right?
I remember him saying that like he was being interviewed that Tom was it everything wow
That's why he's not going to make any changes. He's the guy making all the calls. He's not doing a good job these last 5 weeks.
As a life-long Steelers' fan, I'm just exhausted with this stuff.
When was the last time you've seen Teryl Austin or Tomlin get the defense together on the sidelines and chew them the hell out when they didn't show enough fight or grit??????
Miss the Dick lebeau days

Yes do that Tomlin fall back do it like before. Tomlin he still gets credit.

@mike2687 bend don't break . Hell, who don't like TO's. I love me some int.'s, fumble recoveries, especially the ones returned for tds

This team doesn't even blitz or play aggressive anymore on defense. Got to be a reflection of the HC
How many episodes are we gonna talk about coordinators when we change them out every few years and it’s still the same results it’s a Tomlin issue
These two will NEVER admit tomlins a problem. They are Rooney media goons.
Basically they need to increase the size of the staff instead on having the smallest staff in the league
The problem vs the Ravens is that we were playing Nickel vs 6 OL 2TE a 300 lb FB and a 265 lb RB
Big guys vs little guys-it’s like the HC/DC were lining up to play futbol rather than football.
You are 100% right we were way too little against that
This defense had no answers for modern offenses, especially motion formations..they looked totally unprepared every week
Unprepared is the key word-I didn’t track it this year, but last season, nearly every opponent scored on their first, second or both possessions.
Too often the opponent starts off with an advantage before they ever take the field.
the Scheme was horrendous toward the end. we were out schemed!! that falls on the coach, rather its Austin or Tomlin.
They can fix their culture problem in one move. ‘The Steelers are announcing that they have release Larry Ogunjobe, Patrick Queen, and Donte Jackson. We appreciate their contributions to the team, but they put plays on tape that are unacceptable, from an effort standpoint, for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

JAMES HARRISON WOULD KILLED THE PLAYERS 😂😂😂
The position coaches are fine, but DC Austin needs to coach on Friday nights.
He doesn’t get to do his job. You don’t know what he brings to the table.
This defense was not motivated at all in a playoff game, they are always having communication issues, tackling issues and very slow stating on the first two drives, who's fault it is no idea.
THE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS LOOK LIKE THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE SCHEME. THEY NEED A MORE CREATIVE PLAY CALLER, MORE AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE.
@samgayle9629 I agree 100 percent but will MT allow a new DC utilize his own skim?
That game against Baltimore the scream was all wrong, who ever cam up with that should be let go.
A big problem is the Steelers reliance on turnovers to be able to win. If they don't get any on defense, they seem unable to stop anyone.
There’s no creativity or deception in their defensive play calls. So easy to read, especially for a capable quarterback.
The D certainly was playing better when the offense was sustaining drives wasn't it? Funny how that works
Defense got to get themselves off the field especially the highest paid defense.
Then why do they let up 15 play 95 yard drives on the FIRST drive of the game? They're still gassed from last week? 😂
Heads gotta roll after that pathetic defensive performance.
Maybe due to injury and/or talent level, but I don't see enough stunts & twists/movement on the D-line or LB/DB blitz pckgs
If our defense is going to be as bad as it was at the end of the season we need to cut the payroll close to half of what is now. Watt didn't have a great season.

Pittsburgh Steelers the offense needs to get better
Fitzpatrick is anything but a pro bowl safety. It just shows you how dumb the fans are.
The secondary has been getting picks off of errant throws from QBs under pressure for years… they have some good compilation videos to check out and very few of those INTs come from a DB glued to the WR or cutting under the route… in short, very few because of outstanding coverage, instincts or baiting a throw.
Tomlin should bring James Harrison in as a pass rush coordinator. Would help defensively

Players leave and go to other teams but coaches under Tomlin don’t. It’s coaching hell.
Austin is part of the failure but i think some of our position on defense our lacking too.minkah never was able to get back to roaming.im not sure as strong up the middle as we think and depth is still a concern
I saw that the Ravens have 24 coaches.. and we only have 16.. Is this true?!?
So why when press conference on Defense it’s Terly Austin talking about the Defense are Defensive is Bland
Did the Pittsburgh Steelers need to move on from George Pickens we don't need him big problem this year pick up two receivers from the Draft or sign a receiver
THE DEFENSIVE SCHEME NEEDS TO CHANGE THEY CAN'T COVER MODERN OFFENSES, MOTION ETC THEY STRUGGLE. THAT'S WHY THEY STRUGGLE AGAINST PLAYOFF TEAMS AND IN THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE OF THE SCHEME.
With the pieces we had on defense Austin did a horrible job
The defense was lousy against good teams which is really all that counts.
Robert Saleh is out there, I'd hire him and can Austin.
Teryl Austin is not getting fired, according to Gerry Dulac.
I’m sorry if a coach is gonna ask you to move around in a position you stood you’re getting paid big dollars and it is about winning and it is about the team. You can’t tell me that in the 70s they didn’t do what they were told too many divas.
Must draft Offense 1st and 2nd rounds
DC needs to go
Dont forget all the injuries on both sides of the ball which hurt badly
Home teams all the way

Chris will ban you for that blasphemy.
HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND HE CAN'T BE TRADED. JUST STOP FANS IT'S ANNOYING AND REDUNDANT.

The Steelers defense was point shaving..terrible
299 yards rushing. Ravens 29 yards rushing Steelers.
No surprise MT is behind all these failure’s . 4 OCs and all of the play calling looks the same. Why the Rooneys won’t toss this guy is beyond me.
😢my deepest apologies.. as A fan.. I'm so done wit this Tomlin team.. I'm here for the jersey and wats best for it.. this guy ain't it no more.. no losing seasons no winning ones either
Sounds like the biggest problem in the Steelers locker room is MIKE TOMLIN !!! 🤷🏻♂️…. Dude is not evolving he stuck in the past with old ways…
TA is a glorified clip board holder. That’s it. Doesn’t matter who is in that “position”.
Nothing will change while Tomlin is there. Especially on defense. Guaranteed same results next year. Too arrogant and stubborn to change. Just a lot of talk. Schemes and disguises are long gone. A mediocre team.
NOPE. Talent is the problem, not the coaches.
