Beyond Haley, How Do the Steelers Fix the Offense?? (Per DukieBoy's request)

A Healthy O-Line would be nice.

BUT I SAY:
-get rid of the RB by committee approach. Develop a TOP back and go with Him.
-Let Wallace walk ... He's an all or nothing guy. We need someone who's passionate about not only making big plays but doing the little things.
-A good 2nd TE would help

Thanks.

I think what needs to be fixed include:
Team leadership
Commitment to the Team
Cohesiveness (damaged by selfishness)
Discipline
Strategy
Coaching decisions
Sacks
Turnovers
Arrogance
Overweight OL's who lack agility and get injured (or injure their own teammates) too easily.

This 2012 team has failed to live up to the Steerers legacy each of the players and coachers have been lucky to be part of. Some self-examination and changes are needed.



On the defensive side ...
I just want to say that Lewis was an absolute warrior today, as was Cortez, Timmons, and Keisel. And Troy was incredible beyond all else. On the other hand, Woodley seems to play lazy alot. We are better off with Worilds in that spot.

Not going to point a finger at the DEFENSE this year. They weren't perfect and not as dominant as their #1 ranking would prefer, but I am so disappointed with our offense I just wanna overhaul the whole system.

Good list Dukie.

I'd add it might be time to consider bringing in and developing a young QB. And fix the OLine. I dont know if it's the players, the coaching, or the conditioning. We need to bring in someone who can do for the Oline what Lake has done for the secondary.

Well said Dukie.

There are things that transpired behind the scenes that resulted in such a poor "buy in" to Haley's philosophy as the season wore on.

We will probably never know exactly what happened and when it happened but it became pretty obvious in the finished product on Sundays.

Get a OL coach to match the athleticism of lineman. Get someone fill a leadership roll on the O, Ben clearly can't handle anyone let alone himself without crying.

At this point in his career, got to wonder if it's too late for that...I mean we are heading into the stretch part of the season and he's still moping around crying about plays...seems to me he's at the ball in his hands in a no huddle situation to win multiple games and he couldn't deliver.

I guess getting married and having a baby isn't a miracle cure on the maturity front. Oh well.
