They gave bum ass Willie Colon a new contract coming off a major injury
It's contracts like that and the piss poor drafts from the past few years that have caught up to them
Mike Tomlin will be fired at the end of the Year
- Thread starter MikelArteta
- Start date

its not. Teams get old all the time.
The Steelers just won the Super Bowl 4 years ago.
explain how they need to adapt. What are the Steelers doing that showed they have not adapted to "the modern NFL"?
broski, ben may have a top 5 career of all QBs since 2000, but you need to chill lol
Damn shame. I would have loved Tomlin as the Miami Dolphins coach.
Don't get me wrong I like Philbin. I like because he's smart and only tells you what HE feels you NEED to know. Keeps everything internal to the team. Some fans hate that about him (cats like @heisenburrr ) but fukk those fans. He's in charge he's gonna run things as he pleases. There are questionable decisions here and there but all coaches make mistakes. He was handed a crappy roster by our sorry ass GM and made them somewhat respectable (only 11-13 so far but far better than i expected)
Tomlin would work wonders as our HC with the defensive personal we have and I'm sure he'd bring some of his staff from Pittsburg to fix this bullshyt Oline.

Steelers need to draft for their offensive line and defensive secondary and defensive line... those are the areas they need an infusion of youth.
QB is fine, Bell is OK at RB, their WRs are decent but definitely need some help there, Miller at TE is good but he's slowed down due to injuries, they have some young LBs there which is good..
A few fresh faces here and there and they can turn it around. They need to dump Haley before Tomlin though.

dikk lebeau needs to go imo, its a qb driven league now its only so long u win games by zone blitzing with terrible d backs, it worked when troy, clark and ike was younger but all those nikkas are 9-10 year vets now.
hampton is also missed in that front 7 they need to find somebody to replace him because mcclendon is not the answer.
heyward is coming along well and jones still is having issues learning the scheme the front 7 should be fine once they land a legitimate nose and ilb to pair up with timmons and woodley sheds a few more pounds.
ben is fine until his contract is up but that line needs serious help, I also think the steelers would benefit more with a 2 tight end singleback set with another athletic tight end, ben could spread the ball more down field instead of forcing it down field and bell would also benefit in that scheme, moye needs more playing time also he is too good of an athlete not to be utilized in that offense, at 6'5 with his speed he could cause matchup problems for anybody, he already proved that in the pre season and against the ravens.

Big Ben is probably my favorite QB in the league because of his unpredictable improvisation, loopy throwing angles and sandlot pocket presence. This play encapsulates all these things. From the top of his drop to the moment he releases the ball, Ben spends about 10 seconds pump faking and dancing in the pocket. After faking everyone out, including the camera, Ben finally finds a receiver for a TD.
Think about the protection though: what offensive line can maintain protect a QB for 10 seconds? A better question might be what defensive coverage can maintain its integrity for 10 seconds? The enigma that is Ben Roethslisberger.
That is the 20% of the time I'm talking about. There are times when he holds on tot the ball too long but that is the minority, the majority of the time he has no time to throw the ball, but I can't blame people for thinking that he holds on to the ball too long all the time because these are the only plays that are shown when people talk about him.

Sad thing is that they have drafted for two of those three spots but they are either busts or injury prone. Our last two or three drafts have been the worst I can ever remember for the Steelers.

And you're only talking about this past draft lol. I think the Bell pick was because of Haley, dude fits the mold of the type of RB's he is accustomed to. The last thing we needed was a LB because of what we have on the bench that still hadn't gotten a chance.

I like bell
they were pretty much talking about getting both of them weeks before the draft, jones was interviewed by them a few times before the draft.
jones will be fine, rookies I'm general usually don't do well in lebeau's scheme as rookies.
jones heyward and shamarko thomas will be household names in a few years.
i thought steelers would have drafted eifert
dude would have ate well with rothlisberger
lacy can catch passes out of the backfield

I do too but I wanted them to pick Lacy because he fits what Pittsburgh has had, Bell is a speedster who compliments the passing game just as much as the running game and I have no problem with him but I was pissed when they bypassed Lacy
Me too. I'd like him even more if he had a viable run blocking offensive line
