I think thats where i found mine. I could not find the one i liked about Willie Parker...."Every morning when i go to work,i pass by 6 Lombardys ,not six rushing titles" or something to that effect. I loved that one.

[HollywoodSteel]

The standard is the standard

[HollywoodSteel]

I also notice he says "by any stretch of the imagination" a lot.

[TheRuneMeister]

"...and things of that nature"

and

"Such is life in the National Football League"

Those two seem to pop up every other sentence.

[SteelerSal]

[cold-hard-steel]

This is just me having fun,please excuse me.Look,we could have lost a lot of games we won.We could have won some games that we lost.The men in the helmets must make a play if it is available.If they do not make the play,that man will be held accountable.

[HometownGal]

One of my faves . . .

"I personally don't subscribe to that hocus pocus". :lol:

[stillers4me]

[Count Steeler]

"Winning is the standard"

[Dino 6 Rings]

"Time out" called out of the side of his mouth to freeze a kicker this season...coolest Time Out Call of all time.

[GoSlash27]

He's a standout player, if you will. Uhhh we watch for him to make splash plays at this juncture. Uhhh...Such is life in the National Football League. Uhhhh...

[BigNastyDefense]

"We will unleash hell in December" - I loved it when he said it, I was pumped. Then we lost to the fucking Raiders and Browns. But Tomlin is a coach that you'd run through a brick wall or 12 for.

[SteelMember]

"We do not have back-ups, we have starters in waiting."

[tube517]

“We recognize the potential playoff ramifications of it,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “But more than anything, it’s an opportunity to pit ourselves against a good football team and get a measure of where we are at this juncture.”

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AnukCGDYSjwVllH0WuYLYAJDubYF?slug=ap-patriots-steelers

[tube517]

Matt Spaeth is a “starter in waiting as for as we’re concerned,” said Tomlin, and that he’s asked and expected to do the same things Heath does. Also, “it’s not his first rodeo.”

[tube517]

Describing Baltimore's defense:

"This is a turnover driven outfit"

[steeldawg]

[tube517]

"It's not out of the ordinary for the rookies to not play with the first wave of terror, if you will, in the first preseason game" :chuckle:

[XxKnightxX]

" Every time I walk into my office I walk past 5 Lombardi Trophies not 5 rushing titles" . December 2008 when Not so Fast Willie Parker complained about not playing steelers football. Basically leading to a 6th Lombardi and shoving a carrot up WP's ass and mouth simultaneously lol.

From today's PC:

What Tomlin said about the failed 2 point conversion: "I'm not pondering hypotheticals"

Also regarding officials: "I'm not evaluating officials. I want to keep my money in my pocket."

On calling the league on behalf of Cameron Heyward: "I've got enough calls to make"

On Landry Jones performance: "He's a professional QB. We aren't going to throw pep rallies or parties"

[Tank McGee]

I'm brand new to the site and it looks like a good one. I just want to say that I was EXTREMELY disappointed with Tomlin for bringing in Vick, but, at the same time, I recognize that he is a very good football coach. Reading these "Tomlin-isms" reveals that the coach is an interesting and colorful character. I was a huge Tomlin supporter before Vick, and I think I can warm back up to him again.

Whenever he says "the standard is the standard," that's a good thing. We said that in the Army. It means that everyone is subject to the same rules and there are no favorites. The standard is the same regardless of who you are. I believe Cowher was weak in this regard. Cowher clearly had favorites who could do no wrong or were treated differently if they did.

Oh well. I'm sure the B&G will manhandle the ponies today in Pittsburgh and I'm looking forward to watching it.

[hawaiiansteeler]

Combat catches

Second-year receiver Martavis Bryant’s ability to run past opposing defensive backs has never been in question. His ability to make contested catches in traffic has been.

So when Bryant outfought Denver cornerback Aqib Talib for an important catch when the Steelers were deep in their own territory it was a positive sign for someone who has struggled to make those plays.

“We want consistent combat catches not only from him but all the guys,” Tomlin said. “That was a very positive part of Markus Wheaton’s game. We’re going to need that from all the guys. When called upon, we expect those guys to deliver plays for us. Some of those will be sticky and all of those guys have the skill set to deliver those types of plays.”

LOST CAUSE

Tomlin's record against sub-.500 teams at the time they played them over the past two years (4-7) has come under scrutiny.

Tomlin said that's something he would look at during the offseason.

“Really, I'm in the midst of this 2015 season,” Tomlin said. “Painting with a broad brush and looking over the course of an extended period of time and things of that nature, that's stuff you do in the offseason. So we'll do it at that time.”

Coach Tomlin on A.J. Green

We know who he is.
We knew who he was before last week.
If you didn’t, now you do.
But, we did.

Coach Mike Tomlin updated the team's injury situation following the loss to Philadelphia.

“During this particular course of the journey, you have an opportunity to learn about yourself in terms of how you respond to adversity. I also believe this week we’ll get a snapshot of this group’s resilience and its ability to respond to injury because we have a number of guys who won’t be available to us for a number of reasons."

“As long as they weren't moving it and scoring, we weren't extremely uncomfortable with how the game was unfolding,” Tomlin said, referring to the 13-point deficit prior to the blocked punt. “If you look at the offense in a vacuum, it could make you uncomfortable, but we don't do that.

We weren't ready to scrap the plan. We want to show some mental fortitude and show commitment to the planning and give guys an opportunity to work out of self-inflicted wounds.”

He's win at any cost and just not good enough to do so on a consistent basis. Gets his butt handed to him every time he faces Billy B. and most of the time when he faces Harbaugh, this year being the exception.

Mike Tomlin defends onside kick

“I know analytically they probably fall in the lower percentages and things of that nature,” Tomlin said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. “If I err, I’m always going to err on the side of action in an effort to win. My guys know that about me. I think more importantly them knowing that about me, they expect that from me. I don’t fear failure. I’m going to do what’s required to pursue victory, even if it comes across as unconventional. I’m certainly not going to steer away from decision-making for fear of ridicule. Those guys put a lot on the line when we step into stadiums to play. I, in turn, am responsible for putting a lot on the line and embrace doing so. I understand when things don’t work out and the criticism that’s associated with it. I embrace that. But I go to work with men every day that lay a lot on the line when they step in stadiums as well. I’m just going to provide the same efforts that they provide me.”

His answer, like his decision, still doesn’t make much sense.

You can seek comfort by eliminating some of us from that conversation or you can assign blame by highlighting others. But the bottom line is, man, there’s more meat on the bone for all of us,” Tomlin said. “And we all got to look at what we’re doing and the quality with which we’re doing it. The offensive line is no different than anyone else, player or coach, in that regard.”

He went on to explain that further. When you have a veteran in a preseason game late he should be the best player on the field. And Mason was.

The real part of the quote is when he compared having Rudolph to previous backups, Batch and Byron. That was Tomlin setting the ceiling for Rudolph.

"Kenny Fucking Pickett" is the phrase of 2022-23 and beyond.. So yeah I ragged too hard and too long on MT and the other Steeler site was right to ban me forever. I was as fucking fed up with them as they got with me so we're all happy today. So MT is a hustler. Big fucking deal!!! I was easily the oldest on their board and being a pre-Noll Life goes only so far. I'm into more and better online experiences and they're happier.

If I owned one share of Rooney Preferred - I DON'T! - being annoyed with a decade of MT's barely above average coaching mixed with BRILLIANT SELF PROMOTION would make perfect sense. I'm not perfect and neither are they nor Steeler Universe. It's Win-Win!:dance::dance: Laissez Bon Temps Rouler!
