I've got 20-plus bits of advice for the Steelers' coaching staff, if you're interested in my past two written columns, both available for free right here: www.dkpittsburghsports.com/team/site-stuff/feed/?page=0&filter=ARTICLES -
I would like to see … Tomlin and his coaching staff be forced to watch Daily Shot and Double Shot … and take notes. I listen most days and say “Yeah, that’s right … why aren’t we doin’ that?” Then, during the game, someone on the staff should be listening to the game and giving Tomlin pointers. It’s not every game or every play, but Romo or Brady or whoever make some really good points which could lead to thoughts that could lead to adjustments rather than just sticking to the game plan. As a Steeler fan, I am selfish, I want to see the Steelers win, obviously, but I feel bad for the players when it seems like coaching is holding them back. I live outside Cleveland but Dad grew up in a central PA mining town so I converted back when the Browns were good and the Steelers stunk … one of the best things Dad did for me … but I still have a spot in my heart for the hapless Browns. I don’t want to see TJ and Cam end up like Joe Thomas … well, nothing is quite that bad, but you get the point. OK, we lost our last 4 games … to the Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, and a hot Cinci … all SB contenders, but losing to the Colts, Cowboys, and Browns really hurt, as did the 3 game skid last year against AZ, NE, and the Colts. We’re not a juggernaut, and we don’t need miracles, but why not us? We always seem to just fall short and I can’t help thinking it’s coaching. Tomlin is too good to fire, but if he could just pretend, for a moment, that his job was on the line … similar to the motivational talk Russ needs … maybe we could break out of this funk. At 10-3, this same team was talked about as contenders. Again, why not us? Take care. Love the show.
The other day, I showed my Dad this show. He is almost 70 and is a life-long, die hard, Steelers fan. All he said after listening to the episode was, "Khan and Tomlin should listen to the DK show they might learn something."
DK, What drives me crazy about this coaching staff is if something is working they stop doing it and if something isn't working they keep doing it. They beat the Bengals and the Ravens in their respective first matchups, yet in the 2nd matchups, they did a completely different game plan and lost both games. Can you make that make sense? Why did they "fix" what wasn't broken? Or in other words, why did they break what was fixed ?🤦🏽
Great ideas, DK!!! I would love to see The Steelers use all of them. But in the real world, Tomlin won't change. I do think from reading and watching Steelers media time that the defense is going to put up a good fight. Offense, I just don't know. But, I will try to have good thoughts going into the playoff game with the Ravens!! I am very excited to see that the Ramon Foster Show will be on at 2:15 today!!!! Maybe Mon can help me with my trust issues with the offense!! Thank you, again, DK for all of the time, content, and effort you put into Daily Shot and Double Shot!! I certainly appreciate it!! Go Steelers.
I like your enthusiasm DK on the game this Saturday night. I just don't feel the same after watching this offense stink up the joint game after game after the game.
Hi Dejan - I just read your articles - hilarious my friend! And spot on to boot, its like you read my mind. Loved the Minkah line, lol. It will be interesting to check back after the game against your checklists.
Thank you DK. I would like to see The Pittsburgh Steelers win. I am stoked and one out of five would be astounding. Dk you covered it all. Oh my what would a win look like now, all the way at this critical point. I'm staying positive. Break this losing streak. Here we go! Really good DK
Appreciate you, DK! That’s why I wanted to ask you, because I trust your reporting and ability to have a level head in these matters. I try to be as fair and even-keeled as a fan, that’s why these “conspiracy theories” drive me nuts. I’ll never know what it’s like to be a professional athlete at their level, but I currently play ice hockey at one of the university’s here in the Nashville area and can relate to the men in that locker-room. Being written off before the game even starts is quite motivating, especially against a rival that you don’t like very much. The adrenaline starts pumping just thinking about it. It’s something athletes live for and your bit on TJ during the double-shot yesterday fired me up for this weekend. I appreciate you, sir! Whenever I get back to Pittsburgh I’ll have to stop by the shop and throw some MTSU Hockey gear your way. #HereWeGo Steelers 🔥
I want to see the Steelers orchestrate a first time drive down the field for 7. If we win the coin toss? Give me the BALL! I agree with you DK. Give Wilson the keys and EVERYONE needs to be on the same page!
Hi Dejan - I can tell you, as I always am when the Steelers win, I will be stoked. And winning a playoff game means they met the goal for the season in my mind. I think we definitely CAN win, if we get out of our own way from a coaching perspective but we all know its gonna take a 180 from what we've seen the last month. Here we go!
Dan I thank you for the last 2 seasons since I discovered your show . I live in Florida and your show really helps me get a deeper view of the team week in week out . I thank you for the insight weekly in helping choose which game to fly to yearly . Dan you are the Man on the mic you tell it how it is and have fun with it ! If this is the last show of the year while this team is in the mix . Thank you and I can’t wait for next year But ! I hope I hear you Sunday / Monday morning talking about this win and how everyone feels about Mike etc 😂 Love this show , HWG Stillerz ! -Eric Franchino / St.Pete Florida
Get Pickens the ball early and often. Can’t go into the 3rd quarter with 1 target on a screen pass and expect him to be in the game. A true WR1 is getting almost 10 solid targets a game. Utilize Warren, especially on dump offs to alleviate pressure on Russ. Keep using Muth the way you have been the last month. Find another WR to come up clutch, whether it’s Roman Wilson or Mike Williams (no more Van J)
Well DK, featuring Darnell on 3rd n goal maybe something WE NEED TO SEE! It just might work! 2 redzone plays in 17 games to #80 absolutely abysmal knowing the man 7' 14"
The under use of Mike Williams has been one of the most frustrating aspects of this offense. Why get him if you won’t use him?! How is not the wr2?? How does van get more targets?? I’m not expecting much tomorrow. The lack of a sense of urgency by the coaches has me baffled.
Steelers Nation let's get behind this team. Season over new one starts Saturday!!! Go and kick ass Saturday night . LET'S GO LET'S Kill!! Quote the Lambert#58.
I looked up the definition of insane lo and behold there's a video of Mike Tomlin banging his head against a defensive line over and over and over and over
To answer the question that DK poses at the end of this episode: If the Steelers play well and beat the Ravens, and have their first playoff win in forever, I will be very happy and generally won’t be thinking about any of this small stuff or debating Tomlin, or debating coaching philosophy etc. But that’s the thing: the reason we are debating those things is because the team hasn’t won! So of course it will quiet down all of the criticisms and calls for Tomlin’s firing. This is a results-oriented business, and if he gets results, in the form of a playoff win (finally!) then absolutely he should be credited with it and silence his critics.
Really hope they do what you’re suggesting and “go down swinging.” The problem is, the past 2-3 games, while not elimination games, were the games to do that, and they didn’t.
I agree D/K. Get the ball to your skilled players. Call plays that you know work. Friermuth, Williams, Pickens, Warren, Harris need to play their A game like someone took your 1st position and your division title because they did. No not revenge. Redemption. I believe the Steelers are the better team. In my opinion. Bring the physicality and the using that thing above your shoulder to outsmart them and getvinto L. Jackson head
DK we old guys remember it took an lmmaculate reception to put the Steelers over the top in 1973. I think it will take another miracle of this magnitude to turn this team around. It could happen Saturday night.
My fear is, tell Wilson to have a quicker release time, which would require him reading the field more quickly, and he panics and throws interceptions. But almost anything is better than his constantly peeling to the side or scrambling backwards after 3 seconds and getting sacked.
Absolutely! Honestly, I feel as if we are gonna win...and the sad part is that I am not happy about it...becuz i know this is Tomlin's Super Bowl......any other team would embarrass us...but we know how to beat the Ravens. I hope we lose....I really do...we need Tomlin GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@selaxlife7621sadly we all know Mike is safe to say . Now if this becomes a 10-3 to 10-7 and Ravens smoke us . Followed by 2 moreee years like this or previous . I can’t see how the Rooneys support it but . Lol they will Cowher had bad bad years and they rode it out with him
@kayleefoster9553 the same way Tomlin is rubbing is hands together ready for the Ravens...Andy Reid is doing the same towards us.....Tomlin plays checkers....Andy plays chess....
#steelers fans for the rest of the week, lets be positive towards our team. Lets not complain Lets worry about that stuff on the off season, right now We have the Ravens we see them 2ice a year. This is a good thing we can beat them, positive talks and vibes only. #herewego
38--10, following a 3rd quarter collapse. There will be at least one 2nd quarter momentum killing play. Another TD-less opening drvee. And no Mike Williams targets. At least one pitch out to #84 for less than 2yds.
Florio floated some interesting comments regarding this game....... he's not saying it's a definite, but based on what he knows there's a reality that the loser of this game could be coaching their last game with their respective teams.
So much revolves around the qb. Steelers oline is bad, so you take out a young qb doing well who's fast and mobile for a "safer" much slower option. It worked for a while until defenses started pressuring too much for mr safe to escape. Steelers can win with Fields starting this week if he starts and can use his mobility . If he gets hurt season over. Russ ain't it.
Yes MAKE IT HAPPEN There's ample talent in that locker room Regardless of any coaching malfeasance PLAYERS win games being great players The Standard is the standard BE the standard bearer
To be honest, its hard to beat a good team 3 times, if we are gonna take 2 out of 3, this would be the game to do it. Looking back, we held our won against a great Philly team, last week at Cincy was disappointing but we could have won. Here's hoping we are rested and the coaches adjust wisely.
We'd all like to see this team be Super Bowl Champs - I'll always remember the team of the 70's as the special group they were. They have special players on this team but????
If our offense plays well we will win!! Our defense is always there!! Always on the field!! Our offense has to have complete well played game and help the defense for once!!
My expectations are not really high. A varsity game plan executed. Good communication and tackling. Being able to get on loose balls. Start like its win or go home
Marcus freeman will be Steelers next head coach!!!! Let’s make the move .. he is a Steelers type of coach on what this team needs. Really needs a new voice!!
I remember when they used to have trick plays now and then when they had Ken Wisenhunt Why don’t they at least try it once in a while. There should be no holding anything back tomorrow night.
The average NFL coaching staff is around 22-23 coaches.. The Ravens have 24 and the Steelers have 16.. If those numbers are accurate then that points to Rooney being pretty cheap.
Never thought i would say this steelers need to move on from current coaches and defense even if they have to take a step back This won’t work This is definition of insanity
One thing for sure, Mike Tomlin has had some of the ugliest offensive put outs over his long tender as a Steeler HC. He's not good at finding quality offensive coordinators.
I get what youre saying with that last remark DK. But Even if it got a feeling in my stomach of excitement i just refuse to let these steelers do that to me. Not THESE steelers. After everything theyve shown me. For me to believe would also mean throwing out all the evidence and everything that is true about tomlin and this cosching staff.
The very first offensive series, if they run Najee into a brick wall then this entire coaching staff has to go. Sure, only one person made that decision, but if the rest can't see the insanity or worse, have no balls to point it out, then a complete house cleaning is in order. Buh Bye!
Let Russ throw 30+ passes, let Fields get about 20+ snaps, Darnell Washington and Dan Moore double team the pass rushers, target Pickens 10+ (not the 1 yard screens),...and we MIGHT have a chance...
I’d like to see the players ignore the coaching staff and devise their own strategies on offense and defense and win the football game. It’s obvious they’re being held back listening to Tomlin and co
Only thing I disagreed with was prioritizing Washington in the red zone if he is on the outside with a Corner 8-9 inches shorter and 75 lbs lighter than him you throw it up the only 2 times we’ve done this Justin threw a TD week 1 and last week pass interference. They have no choice with such a mismatch. If they double that opens the middle of the field for our true top targets Muth Pickens etc
What I'd like to see is Arthur Smith draw-up some plays where Russell Wilson rolls-put, or somehow is able to see and work the middle of the field.....using Freirmuth and Washington interspersed with Pickens and Williams. Amen.
I've been thinking about what if's for a bunch of years now and I'd like to think of nothing more than to see TJ and Cam celebrate a playoff win but this Head Coach can't get out of his own way. I'm tired of watching game after game and getting angry every first half of Football.
I’d like to see this offense again. The middle of the field was being utilized. If Fields had as many attempts as Russ was getting passing game would have been great th-cam.com/video/fIjtpEVlTYc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T4Z7PifUVHpM-Qdj
No way I’m keeping Russ even if we win . I think we should draft a guy like Jalen Milroe , bring back fields for a season and let him learn till Jalen is ready
Hey DK 👋 , What happens if the players do everything they can to get the Win and let's say Mike Tomlin lays a Egg!!! Why should we believe in Mike Tomlin who is incapable of ADMITTING THAT HE WAS WRONG??? Especially when they had Mason Rudolph and I would of liked to see him for the whole year at least when he steps up in the pocket HE CAN SEE OVER THE LINEMEN!!! What do you think 🤔
So pretty much our team pay average salaries and get average coaches. All I know is the Coach is doing as Told from his upper mgmt, and that all that manners to Mr. Rooney.
No point in this game we’re gonna lose. Arthur has legit mental issues, corners are absolutely bums. Gonna make batemen look like an all pro. Gonna take teryl a whole quarter to make adjustments. Tj is gonna get triple teamed all game without being schemed anywhere else. Cam Sutton is gonna go for a rogue blitz and give up a big play. No reason to get your hopes up
I agree that the whole “Rooney’s are cheap” mantra is old, tired, and completely incorrect. It has always been incorrect and inaccurate. “Hot take”gibberish for those that don’t actually follow the Steelers. Look no further than 10-12 years ago they had the most expensive offensive line in the league, those of whom worked in front of one of the most expensive QBs in the league at the time. Dusted off my original Salute to Service hoodie. We’re winning this one. Believe it.
It's gutting that as armchair experts we can say this for weeks but it gives me no pleasure to have no faith in them fixing any of the offensive personel issues. Like having Patterson on critical downs last week at Runningback standing on the rotunda with frozen feet was excruciating

"you have mike williams..... I'm PREEETTY SURE you have MIKE WILLIAMS?!"
DK, What drives me crazy about this coaching staff is if something is working they stop doing it and if something isn't working they keep doing it. They beat the Bengals and the Ravens in their respective first matchups, yet in the 2nd matchups, they did a completely different game plan and lost both games. Can you make that make sense? Why did they "fix" what wasn't broken? Or in other words, why did they break what was fixed ?🤦🏽
They almost have to outsmart themselves…
It's been every coaching staff under Tomlin other than Dick Lebeau and Arians which weren't coaches he chose
So true
Remember the early throws to Washington that worked and softened the secondary
Great ideas, DK!!! I would love to see The Steelers use all of them. But in the real world, Tomlin won't change. I do think from reading and watching Steelers media time that the defense is going to put up a good fight. Offense, I just don't know. But, I will try to have good thoughts going into the playoff game with the Ravens!!
I am very excited to see that the Ramon Foster Show will be on at 2:15 today!!!! Maybe Mon can help me with my trust issues with the offense!! Thank you, again, DK for all of the time, content, and effort you put into Daily Shot and Double Shot!! I certainly appreciate it!! Go Steelers.
More aggression on offense, don't play keep away. Play to score.
I like your enthusiasm DK on the game this Saturday night. I just don't feel the same after watching this offense stink up the joint game after game after the
game.
Hi Dejan - I just read your articles - hilarious my friend! And spot on to boot, its like you read my mind. Loved the Minkah line, lol. It will be interesting to check back after the game against your checklists.
Hello DK from Mexico, we love your show
Come see us some time, my friend! -
Thank you for all info you share with us -especially when our team continues to loose, 🙏🇺🇸
At the end of this one, DK was basically saying; be an actual fan. Go Steelers!
Thank you DK. I would like to see The Pittsburgh Steelers win. I am stoked and one out of five would be astounding. Dk you covered it all. Oh my what would a win look like now, all the way at this critical point. I'm staying positive. Break this losing streak. Here we go! Really good DK

Safe trip to Baltimore !!
Good Friday, Morning DK! Hard NO on the 100 mil 3 year extension.
I want to see the Steelers orchestrate a first time drive down the field for 7.
If we win the coin toss? Give me the BALL!
I agree with you DK. Give Wilson the keys and EVERYONE needs to be on the same page!
The last time we scored on opening drive is when we had Mason. I miss mason, if we don't draft a qb we need to get him back. He has earned it
good morning
Hi Dejan - I can tell you, as I always am when the Steelers win, I will be stoked. And winning a playoff game means they met the goal for the season in my mind.

Thanks, Eric! And the name's Dejan! -
Hey DK HARD working Stan the man checking in have a wonderful day 😊
Positive energy vibes all around the Steeler nation! Imagine the possible!!!!
hahahahahahaha
With Tomlin Still Coaching The Team, We Will Be In This Same
Situation Next Season, That's The
Standard Of Today's Steelers With
Tomlin.
Correct!
Get Pickens the ball early and often. Can’t go into the 3rd quarter with 1 target on a screen pass and expect him to be in the game. A true WR1 is getting almost 10 solid targets a game. Utilize Warren, especially on dump offs to alleviate pressure on Russ. Keep using Muth the way you have been the last month. Find another WR to come up clutch, whether it’s Roman Wilson or Mike Williams (no more Van J)
Things i wanna see vs the Ravens: Tomlin at the unemployment line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well DK, featuring Darnell on 3rd n goal maybe something WE NEED TO SEE! It just might work! 2 redzone plays in 17 games to #80 absolutely abysmal knowing the man 7' 14"
Here’s a fun fact DK…winning cures all….
The under use of Mike Williams has been one of the most frustrating aspects of this offense. Why get him if you won’t use him?! How is not the wr2?? How does van get more targets?? I’m not expecting much tomorrow. The lack of a sense of urgency by the coaches has me baffled.
Steelers Nation let's get behind this team. Season over new one starts Saturday!!! Go and kick ass Saturday night . LET'S GO LET'S Kill!! Quote the Lambert#58.
Can I get at least 14 points in the first half?
I want the Steelers to win. I know we’re good against the Ravens, and I believe we can win. But I can’t but help expect us to lose.
If we can score some first quarter points, even just like 3-7 , and the defense forces a turnover or two, we can win this game
Laughed outpouring about the white tents.😅
Good Friday morning Dejan
I looked up the definition of insane lo and behold there's a video of Mike Tomlin banging his head against a defensive line over and over and over and over
Hey that is pretty good!
To answer the question that DK poses at the end of this episode: If the Steelers play well and beat the Ravens, and have their first playoff win in forever, I will be very happy and generally won’t be thinking about any of this small stuff or debating Tomlin, or debating coaching philosophy etc. But that’s the thing: the reason we are debating those things is because the team hasn’t won!

Dk you wanted to say Fn toasted when talking bout ravens cbs
@4:20 lol this was as one of the main criticisms of AS in ATL they tried to say it was because he had shite qbs in ATL.
Really hope they do what you’re suggesting and “go down swinging.” The problem is, the past 2-3 games, while not elimination games, were the games to do that, and they didn’t.
I have the same issue DK. Every week I hope the o-line can play a great game and then they don't.
I agree D/K. Get the ball to your skilled players. Call plays that you know work. Friermuth, Williams, Pickens, Warren, Harris need to play their A game like someone took your 1st position and your division title because they did. No not revenge. Redemption.

DK we old guys remember it took an lmmaculate reception to put the Steelers over the top in 1973. I think it will take another miracle of this magnitude to turn this team around. It could happen Saturday night.
Go win the last four like Russ said and be great fellas
My fear is, tell Wilson to have a quicker release time, which would require him reading the field more quickly, and he panics and throws interceptions. But almost anything is better than his constantly peeling to the side or scrambling backwards after 3 seconds and getting sacked.
DK, even if we win tomorrow, fans want Tomlin gone. There is no optimism with Tomlin at the helm and fans are checking out
I guarantee that the talk will change if we win even one game.
Absolutely! Honestly, I feel as if we are gonna win...and the sad part is that I am not happy about it...becuz i know this is Tomlin's Super Bowl......any other team would embarrass us...but we know how to beat the Ravens. I hope we lose....I really do...we need Tomlin GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@selaxlife7621agreed to long have we been content with mediocre Mike allowing the team to spiral always
@@selaxlife7621sadly we all know Mike is safe to say . Now if this becomes a 10-3 to 10-7 and Ravens smoke us . Followed by 2 moreee years like this or previous .
I can’t see how the Rooneys support it but . Lol they will
Cowher had bad bad years and they rode it out with him
@kayleefoster9553 the same way Tomlin is rubbing is hands together ready for the Ravens...Andy Reid is doing the same towards us.....Tomlin plays checkers....Andy plays chess....
Even the Cinci game they only gave up 19. They always carry us.
Tomlin wants yes men he can micromanage
#steelers fans for the rest of the week, lets be positive towards our team. Lets not complain Lets worry about that stuff on the off season, right now We have the Ravens we see them 2ice a year. This is a good thing we can beat them, positive talks and vibes only. #herewego
10:57 Tomlin doesn't really want a big coaching staff ,even if Rooney gave him more money
When we win pay attention to the narrative on social media 🖤💛
38--10, following a 3rd quarter collapse. There will be at least one 2nd quarter momentum killing play. Another TD-less opening drvee. And no Mike Williams targets. At least one pitch out to #84 for less than 2yds.
Florio floated some interesting comments regarding this game....... he's not saying it's a definite, but based on what he knows there's a reality that the loser of this game could be coaching their last game with their respective teams.
Tomorrow we shock the world 🌍🎉 0:32
Unfortunately DK what you and all of us want to see would only happen at a location known as fantasy Island.
Complementary football in all 3 phases, and fewer penalties (especially pre-snap on Offense). #ScoreMore! #GoSteelers!
So much revolves around the qb. Steelers oline is bad, so you take out a young qb doing well who's fast and mobile for a "safer" much slower option. It worked for a while until defenses started pressuring too much for mr safe to escape. Steelers can win with Fields starting this week if he starts and can use his mobility . If he gets hurt season over. Russ ain't it.
Yes
MAKE IT HAPPEN
There's ample talent in that locker room
Regardless of any coaching malfeasance
PLAYERS win games being great players
The Standard is the standard
BE the standard bearer
If I see Sutton in on a majority of snaps and I see him standing there while a TE catches a TD behind him, I'm going to rip my hair out.
To be honest, its hard to beat a good team 3 times, if we are gonna take 2 out of 3, this would be the game to do it. Looking back, we held our won against a great Philly team, last week at Cincy was disappointing but we could have won. Here's hoping we are rested and the coaches adjust wisely.
We'd all like to see this team be Super Bowl Champs - I'll always remember the team of the 70's as the special group they were. They have special players on this team but????
Things I want to see, a total of ZERO toss plays!
💯
Amen
If our offense plays well we will win!! Our defense is always there!! Always on the field!! Our offense has to have complete well played game and help the defense for once!!
I think After this game tomorrow night I think mike tomlin will Resign
One thing they should do is keep feeding pat the ball like they have as of late
Agree with everything except the not targeting Washington. His huge and should be used
If we somehow grew an offensive line overnight, we’d really have an excellent chance.
I just want to see the starters (true starters) in all personnel packages instead of the depth playing as much as the starters
My expectations are not really high. A varsity game plan executed. Good communication and tackling. Being able to get on loose balls. Start like its win or go home
Marcus freeman will be Steelers next head coach!!!! Let’s make the move .. he is a Steelers type of coach on what this team needs. Really needs a new voice!!
Game will be decided on the first play of the game. If it is a Najee handoff the Steelers have already lost. Not even being hyperbolic here.
Even if he breaks for 20 yards
Yep
Agreed. I honestly wanted to turn the game off when they did just that against the bengals last Saturday.
This will be Najee's last game. Thankfully.
I agree with this 100%
I remember when they used to have trick plays now and then when they had Ken Wisenhunt Why don’t they at least try it once in a while. There should be no holding anything back tomorrow night.
The average NFL coaching staff is around 22-23 coaches.. The Ravens have 24 and the Steelers have 16.. If those numbers are accurate then that points to Rooney being pretty cheap.
Never thought i would say this
steelers need to move on from current coaches and defense
even if they have to take a step back
This won’t work
This is definition of insanity
One thing for sure, Mike Tomlin has had some of the ugliest offensive put outs over his long tender as a Steeler HC. He's not good at finding quality offensive coordinators.
I get what youre saying with that last remark DK. But Even if it got a feeling in my stomach of excitement i just refuse to let these steelers do that to me. Not THESE steelers. After everything theyve shown me. For me to believe would also mean throwing out all the evidence and everything that is true about tomlin and this cosching staff.
Najee up the gut over and over. Success.
The very first offensive series, if they run Najee into a brick wall then this entire coaching staff has to go. Sure, only one person made that decision, but if the rest can't see the insanity or worse, have no balls to point it out, then a complete house cleaning is in order.
Buh Bye!
I don't want to see a pitch out to N. Harris. Also use Wiliams! How about the expensive D play well.
Let Russ throw 30+ passes, let Fields get about 20+ snaps, Darnell Washington and Dan Moore double team the pass rushers, target Pickens 10+ (not the 1 yard screens),...and we MIGHT have a chance...
I’d like to see the players ignore the coaching staff and devise their own strategies on offense and defense and win the football game. It’s obvious they’re being held back listening to Tomlin and co
Rooney brought Flores in just to help, and to right a perceivable wrong. I don't think Bob Nutting does that. Rooney is not that kind of cheap. ❤️🔥🍻
Only thing I disagreed with was prioritizing Washington in the red zone if he is on the outside with a Corner 8-9 inches shorter and 75 lbs lighter than him you throw it up the only 2 times we’ve done this Justin threw a TD week 1 and last week pass interference. They have no choice with such a mismatch. If they double that opens the middle of the field for our true top targets Muth Pickens etc
What I'd like to see is Arthur Smith draw-up some plays where Russell Wilson rolls-put, or somehow is able to see and work the middle of the field.....using Freirmuth and Washington interspersed with Pickens and Williams. Amen.
I've been thinking about what if's for a bunch of years now and I'd like to think of nothing more than to see TJ and Cam celebrate a playoff win but this Head Coach can't get out of his own way. I'm tired of watching game after game and getting angry every first half of Football.
I’d like to see this offense again. The middle of the field was being utilized. If Fields had as many attempts as Russ was getting passing game would have been great

No way I’m keeping Russ even if we win . I think we should draft a guy like Jalen Milroe , bring back fields for a season and let him learn till Jalen is ready
I really wish management would listen to some of your episodes. Where's fucking common sense gone.
Coach Tomlin will lead us to a lifetime of mediocrity.
Hey DK 👋 , What happens if the players do everything they can to get the Win and let's say Mike Tomlin lays a Egg!!! Why should we believe in Mike Tomlin who is incapable of ADMITTING THAT HE WAS WRONG??? Especially when they had Mason Rudolph and I would of liked to see him for the whole year at least when he steps up in the pocket HE CAN SEE OVER THE LINEMEN!!! What do you think 🤔
Please god let them win
So pretty much our team pay average salaries and get average coaches. All I know is the Coach is doing as Told from his upper mgmt, and that all that manners to Mr. Rooney.
Where's Ramon? I heard he is supposed to be on Ben's podcast next week
2:15 pm today..right here
I will settle for competency at this point.
No point in this game we’re gonna lose. Arthur has legit mental issues, corners are absolutely bums. Gonna make batemen look like an all pro. Gonna take teryl a whole quarter to make adjustments. Tj is gonna get triple teamed all game without being schemed anywhere else. Cam Sutton is gonna go for a rogue blitz and give up a big play. No reason to get your hopes up
I agree that the whole “Rooney’s are cheap” mantra is old, tired, and completely incorrect. It has always been incorrect and inaccurate. “Hot take”gibberish for those that don’t actually follow the Steelers.
Look no further than 10-12 years ago they had the most expensive offensive line in the league, those of whom worked in front of one of the most expensive QBs in the league at the time.
Dusted off my original Salute to Service hoodie.
We’re winning this one. Believe it.
It's gutting that as armchair experts we can say this for weeks but it gives me no pleasure to have no faith in them fixing any of the offensive personel issues. Like having Patterson on critical downs last week at Runningback standing on the rotunda with frozen feet was excruciating
Don’t turn over the ball…… simple
Steelers win 21-20
This team was best when tomlin didn’t get along with his coordinators
tomlin is paid like an great nfl coach and he sure dosen't perform like it
