Is Porter starting?
Is Porter starting?
The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is 19-18-1 in last 38 games played and hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.
Way, way to early to know this IMO.
But my guess is that he does not start day 1.
Well, he's not listed to as of yet but it's early. Peterson and Levi starting CB right now.Originally Posted by Northern_Blitz
I would think that by the first game, he will be splitting time with CB#2, whoever that is. He is a press corner and I believe he will be a full time starter by week 4.
We have transformed our CB's and suddenly have big, strong, and long guys who can excel at press coverage. The DC needs to play to our strengths. Can T. Austin do this?

Patience is not something everyone wants to hear but it's needed with rookies and new players. Got to let them battle it out n best man wins. Porter could be 3rd on depth chart at one point and starting week 2 and never look back and go on to have a great career.
He better!! No more 10 yard cushions for the opposing WR's.
From the 2011-2022 season,(A 12 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.
Steeler fans still loving on Tomlin now, are the same as Dolphin fans in the 90's who were still loving on Shula for what he did in the 70's
Having "press coverage" CBs sound good on paper, but it doesn't always work out that way. J Peezy Jr. is gonna find NFL WRs can "get away" from his press coverage and get wide open. What's he gonna do then? Pick off the pass? Not according to his history.
This is Steel Maniac and I approve of this post. LOL

Patience? What is THAT.
whisper already suggested it is 8-12 picks (more than ANYONE last season) as a rookie or he is a fail.
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
