Kevin Dotson is now PFF's highest-graded guard in the NFL this season - 85.3

Wait. I thought PFF grades were just Cris Collingsworth nerd nonsense?
Wait...I thought is was all about player execution, not coaching and technique.
It's both. The Steelers have average to above average talent, but their coaching has been at the bottom or near the bottom of the league for years now.Quote:

Per Kozora: Through five games, the Steelers have run 21 plays in the red zone, last in the NFL. Twelve of those came in their season opener.
The Saints ran more plays in the red zone last night (22) than the Steelers have all season (21).
That stat is another pathetic offensive statistic. It just amazes me that I keep hearing one bad stat after another, and the Steelers offense has been at the bottom of the league for 2-3 years now.Quote:

The players are never “executing properly” yet they keep starting, signing and extending the same players…Quote:

It's a dam shame with the killer B's they could not stay healthy when it was playoff time and, could not beat Brady when it counted the most. Losing to the Jags team with Blake Bortles was a crap show to say the least!Quote:

Just questions.
The defense certainly couldn't.Quote:

Gotta give Tomlin and Canada credit in this one. The first half game plan wasn't all that bad, but a lot of mental mistakes kept us from putting more points on the board. However, they made the necessary adjustments and the offense, for the first time all season, looked like they were capable.
Most encouraging post on this board in weeks.Quote:

He literally turned the game around and ignited the team.
Mike Tomlin is inspirational as a leader. He held everything together and they made just enough plays to get it done today. He does need to stop this crap with the wide receivers. They are letting their emotions come before the team. That can't be allowed to stand. Both WRs almost cost the entire team today with stupid plays.
Matt Canada was his usual horrible self in the first half, but there were a bunch of mistakes that was holding the offense back. He came back in the second half and had some good play calls with imaginative design. The plays worked, the team started to click a little bit, and the offense just played lights out the last three drives of the game. Good bounce back.
Kenny Pickett was excellent today. His OL was just awful in the first half, and they couldn't get anything going. He had no time to throw. In the second half, he was able to throw in rhythm much more because the OL played much better. They got better protections called and executed, and Pickett was putting it on his receivers and maneuvered well withing the pocket and stepped up and fired the ball on the money when it mattered most.
Defense continues to do whatever they have to do. Joey Porter just stands out like a beacon in coverage. The dude can stick with receivers and makes a difference when he is on the field. He needs to be more physical and tackle better against the run, but the kid can cover. He makes stops on big plays and at big moments. Get him on the field more.
I loved that 4th down play at the end. You saw Tomlin on the sideline talking to TJ Watt and the defense telling them he was going for it. You could see everyone excited and saying, yeah man, go for it. We got this. Love it! The defense was willing to step up if it didn't work and backed their coach and loved that they were aggressively trying to win the game right there. Love it.
Overall good win today. Brutal start, but they kept fighting and found their way. Hopefully the start of something here. Great first step out of the bye. Onward and upward!
I’ll second all that.Quote:

Games like today is why I’d take Tomlin over almost anyone in the league.
Rams coach is the wunderkid coach. I didn’t see a great deal of impact coaching today. All those yards and only up 6 at the half? Can you imagine if that would’ve been reversed?
Second half KP and OL was leap and bounds better than anything previous.
And I’m going to point out that according to the announcers, KP himself identified bailing out and rolling out as issues to fix. He hung in or stepped up in the pocket today and made plays. QB 101.
Yes. They both did much better the second half. I’m wondering what the actual adjustments were as far as scheme, philosophy, whatever. There was a clear difference in offensive halves.Quote:

But this press conference is stunning in a bad way. I cannot believe he said this. See tweet.
Get turnovers wherever you can. I mean, that's their job and they did that. The offense has to execute and take advantage.
Blaming the Defense because their turnovers weren't good enough turnovers.
This teams' culture is rotten and it all comes down to this coach. Tomlin is done-zo.
Still better than Arthur Smith and a bunch of other out there with the same job title…
The QB and coaching ranks in the NFL is really at an all-time low…
"Hey Coach, what do you think about that interception I made in the end zone that kept the other guys from scoring the game-winning touchdown?"Quote:

Wow. I've never been an advocate for change just for the sake of change, but if he really said this, its time for Tomlin to move on.

After the 49ers game Tomlin said that the offensive line was excellent. What game was he watching? Besides that, all he is doing is pissing on the young QB in his first game of the season, his running backs, his receivers, and his defense. Other than that, he was spot on with his comment. :der:
He has admitted to no allowing Kenny Pickett to audible whenever he wants or to call protections. Tomlin says the OL can handle that. No need for Pickett to do that. Says things like, at their discretion, meaning doing what the coaches say with no control from the QB.
On Ben Roethlisberger's show, Pat Freiermuth admits the Steelers offense doesn't have hot routes built into the offense. It looks like that hasn't changed this season, or at least they are very limited.
This offense is circling the drain, and Tomlin's fingerprints are all over it whether he hired Canada or not.

This is one of those tempest in a teapot kind of things. As almost anything is when it involves a single quote from the press conference nonsense that the NFL forces everyone to go through.
When you have a shitty offense, turnovers that don't START with you in FG range are just chances to punt more often.
…..and that’s exactly what happened. I have no problem with that statement.Quote:

Even 10 years ago, the coverage was immense, but not as detailed and constant as it is now.
You can play around with this....there have always been some rough QBs starting across the league: https://www.nfl.com/stats/player-sta...singyards/desc
