Will the Coaches have the Steelers ready for the season opener..

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see us lose to the Browns. Either our team isn't good, our coaches aren't good or they are both bad. Name someone on our defense that the other teams need to fear or game plan for ? The offense doesn't exactly cause coaches and defenders headaches either.

Heyward. And those guys will emerge, it's a young group but they ad to shake that "old and slow" label

We look like Crap. And if Tomlin can't get a win, and what should be a EASY win against a Browns team with freaking HOYER at QB. And no real WR talent, then Tomlin doesn't deserve to have a head coaching Gig.

Bad news: Steelers don't look anywhere close to being ready for a season opener.

Good news: They're playing the Browns in the season opener.

I have this silly notion that professional football players are at least partially responsible for getting themselves "ready". The coaches can teach and game-plan till hell freezes over but if the team goes into sleepwalking mode, there's not much the coaches can do but scream. If they have to scream it's too late.

This is not an original thought. Chuck Noll said it about 40 years ago.

Quite simplistic though. The coach is responsible for the overall vision, short and long-term goals, and the daily planning that works to achieve that goal. Setting a brisk practice pace with clear times, stations, etc. is an example of how a coach can affect the preparation of a team. As the coach, you need to be ultra-prepared and organized. That's why you have so few laid-back, "normal" head coaches who end up successful. You have to be a meticulous, great-planning, visionary.
