Tomlin on how to fix run D

[WindyCitySteel]

"Play better". We're supposed to have the best defensive coaching staff in the league now, but all they can do is tell their players to "beat their man". Man, I miss Dick LeBeau.

The inability to scheme up the D when injuries occur keep him from being a great coach, IMO. Sure sounded cool, though, right? Media probably swooning.

"whoop blocks"


Coach cool / Coach DMC at it again

[hawaiiansteel]

we need another #1 draft choice on defense to fix the run D.

obviously...

An large bodied infusion of youth on the d-line wouldn't hurt.

[Flasteel]

Play better and be available to play. There is nothing he could have schemed - other than putting a 4-man front out there - given the attrition along the line and the horrid play of the inside backers. You can point fingers at the lack of depth along the line (at least early on) or at ILB, but they weren't going to scheme their way to decency against the run last year.

I would certainly love to see all 340 lbs of Jordan Davis added to the line. I'd also still like to see another inside backer drafted high. I look at Miles Jack as being more of an insurance policy in case the Devin Bush of 2021 is the same guy who shows up in 2022. Otherwise, you're now hoping both your starting backers are able to turn it around after very fugly campaigns last year. That's not a solid plan. Instead, draft a young guy you can rotate in there this year and have him ready to replace the linebacker who doesn't pan-out. I think those two moves would help the Steelers become one of the best teams against the run.

But if they want to simply be better against the run, then all they need is for Tuitt and Alualu to return and have the old Devin Bush return along with them.

[T.Ferguson]

Coming from the defensive mastermind who's team has given up an average of 43 points a game the last 4 playoff games. Amazing!

[WindyCitySteel]

Yes, that will definitely help, until he gets hurt and they ask Montravious Adams to do his job and don't do anything else to make up the difference. Play big nickel, stack the line, do more two-gapping - anything but Next Man Up.

Next Man Up lets you skate with excuses, though.

4 #1 ranked D, 7 top 5, 9 top 10, only once out of the top half of the league.

Since Tomlin took over, no #1, 2 top 5, 4 top 10.

Having one more talented big guy (4 total) would make it less likely that they end up with 1 out of 3 starter capable players available which is what happened last year.

[Buzz]

Our D was abysmal against the run last season

can't blame it all on coaching because of absences/injuries, but it seems like, more and more, Tomlin is trying to deflect any blame ... I suppose it shouldn't be surprising to have that happen when a HC has been in place for a long time, has ultimate job security, and feels like he's reached celebrity status

but hopefully it's all just talk, and even now, Austin & Flores are working on a plan to firm up the run defense

[NorthCoast]

A coach can only do so much with the players he's got. I didn't see BAL pull off any miracles when their CBs went down for the season. From 6th in passing yds allowed in 2020 to 32nd in 2021. That's a big fall from grace. And it got their DC fired cause he wouldn't quit.

This is true, yet with the Ravens firing their DC, it seems to me they are acknowledging that coaching also bore some responsibility for their defensive failures

if it was ALL on players not executing, you don't fire the Wink-man

[WindyCitySteel]

Didn't the Ravens lose like all of their starting secondary? They still finished slightly ahead of the Steelers in PPG allowed.

[Oviedo]

You guys are hilarious. You act like Tomlin owes you or the media answers to questions. Talk about a sense of entitlement. Why would he tell anyone what they are planning to do to fix or improve anything? That's internal info not for public discourse.

Well, the situation with the Steelers was different, because everyone knows the actual DC was Tomlin

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Man, I miss Dick LeBeau.
He'd have a real Nose Tackle and wouldn't worry about the pass rush from that guy... He'd have someone to keep the ILB clean so they can make all the tackles.

But, would have lost to Big Ben's short passing offense the last 2 years, should he face such a team... His defenses always struggled with that crap.

I wouldn't expect him to tell anyone what they are planning to do

what I would hope he would say is something on the order of, "We weren't good enough against the run last season, injuries/absences played a role, but from a coaching standpoint, we have to do better at helping the players on the field be successful"

some of y'all complained mightily a few years back when Ben seemed to put all the blame for offensive failure on his teammates, but I guess it's OK when the coach throws his players under the bus

Why? To make his detractors feel vindicated? They know what went right and didn't.

Nothing

the only team in the league that needs at least 2/3 of its starters to be high draft choices in order to field a top unit.

We make these blanket statements like we watch the other teams and we're just smarter than everyone else.

For giggles, I checked the Dallas Cowboys... Of their 11 starters on defense, 9 were selected in Day 1 or 2. As are most of their top backups. That's the very first team I checked.

I'm not wasting my time checking any others... but, henceforth, this is a dumb, invalid argument...

of course.. but people have agendas.

Its like when fans used to complain about BA’s bubble screens and empty sets. Why can’t they be like other teams???

Watched the rest of the league and almost every other team was running empty sets and bubble screens.

People just make up stuff and repeat it over and over.

One of these things is not like the other...I don't think draft round paints an accurate enough picture. A better measure might be pick #. And it's already been documented that aside from Belichick, Tomlin has the lowest average 1st rd draft pick # of any coach. And there is already a post elsewhere that showed the average bottom of the round 1 pick is worth less than half of the top of round 1. And before you ask, there are sites that track draft capital spent (draft pick #) vs ROI. The Steelers have generally been hovering in the top 10 but have slid some recently. It's one reason why I am not completely broken hearted that Colbert is retiring. He may have lost his edge. And if Tomlin has been leading these decisions then it's something to be watched going forward.

But by November, running backs were the least of the Ravens' injury worries. All-Pro players Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey missed time with ankle and pectoral injuries. First-round rookie Rashod Bateman had a groin injury that delayed his debut until mid-October. Twelve expected starters, replacement starters, and important situational players landed on the non-COVID injured reserve at some point in the regular season. And in Weeks 15 and 16, the team was missing nine defensive backs, including each of their four expected starters. They lost both games as part of seven straight losses to end their season. All told, the Ravens racked up 191.2 AGL. It was the most by a team in our database, and it remains the most when prorated to 16 games.

I remember when they trotted out guys just picked up during the week to play DB. That team was utterly decimated by injuries and Covid all season long.

Naw, Colbert and Tomlin are the smartest guys in the room when it comes to the draft. Just ask them. The kids playing at MD and VA-area schools are super special; why do you think all the infatuation with Willis out of Liberty? (Yes. Located in VA.)

The run D took a hit. We have lost a good DL, and Bush has become a liability. Both spot need to be upgarded. Tolmin for being a wordsmith lack the ideas for Run defense. Hint, find plyaers who get off blocks, and tackle well. Could use some of those guys.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Something that is not spoken about when it comes to last season's D. I'm going by recollection and don't have the numbers to back it up so not sure if my premise is correct.

I remember many games where the Steelers D started the game holding up against the other team's offense. They would get off the field and the offense would give the ball back on a three and out, or after maybe one first down. The D would then face a shorter field....and hold up. Offense gets the ball back and quickly returns it, putting the D back on the field. After awhile, the D is gassed and allowing the other team to gain some ground on them until eventually they are running on them at will.

Remember, most of the offensive success this team had was in the fourth Q. Either the Steelers were way behind or the game was close enough for the offense to grab a victory and the glory at the end. I guess the stats you'd want are: TOP by Q, yards given up by Q, first downs gained by the Steelers O by Q etc.

Reason for this is to see if maybe with just a bit more support, this D really is not as bad as it looked giving up 200 yard rushing games to everyone. Maybe this D can be the team's strength given the potential return of Tuitt, Alualu, and a healthy Bush and an offense that gives them more than a two minute break and short field over and over again.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Sign Will Smith, he'll hit a Rock, honest. On 2nd thought nah he's a thung from Philly and likes the eagles. In reality replace Bush, get a nose tackle, and find a good satefy in run support not named Edmunds. That's a start.

But he wears cool shades and says hip things. That's more important than things like "playoff wins." 5 years, going on 6.

CUT CANDIDATES

Montravius Adams

Pittsburgh Steelers · DT

The Steelers snagged Adams after the Saints cut him midseason, and he ended up starting four of his five games in Pittsburgh, earning regular snaps in the rotation and notching a sack of Patrick Mahomes in the playoff loss. But suddenly, Adams appears to be caught up in a numbers game on a fairly deep D-line. Pittsburgh has Cam Heyward, Larry Ogunjobi and Tyson Alualu as roster locks, plus Chris Wormley, DeMarvin Leal and Isaiahh Loudermilk as younger players with more perceived upside. Adams might be on the outside looking in, though he likely can find work elsewhere.

Really? Mike Tomlin along with Brian Flores and an experienced coaching staff lack the ideas for run defense? Do you think they are looking for guys who don't get off blocks and dont tackle well? I am also not sure why we are acting like the run defense has already failed? News flash, the season hasnt started yet, you havent seen the starting defense yet, and you havent seen really any of the scheme yet.

Who said Pittsburgh had the best defensive coaching staff in the league now?? There are a lot of coaches with D-whatever on their resumes... It sounds like that opinion comes from the Dick LeBeau era, too...

Pittsburgh was 24th vs. the pass last season, and last against the rush... Don't results tell us how effective the coaching is??
