Tomlin on Steelers' offensive woes through two weeks: 'We have to get our mojo back'

[NorthCoast]

As bad as KP was, Watson was worse. That's why we won the game.

Hey, kudos to the D for the TDs, sacks, etc. Those are obviously huge. But, they got absolutely mauled again up front, couldn't stop the run, and the CBs were embarrassing. It should be a fireable offense not to have Porter in over Wallace.

Tomlin gives players the opportunity to fail before he makes changes. King should come in for Sullivan or even Wallace. Adams should get bumped and Fehoko brought up. Leal and Benton had ok games.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin doesn't 'begrudge' fans for chanting disappointment with OC Matt Canada

Key quote from the article:

“I don’t share their concern because of my perspective,” Tomlin said. “I’m a part of the process. When you’re part of the process, it’s less troublesome to you.”

He's watched this offense suck for years but is not concerned because he's involved. Mike Tomlin is the single biggest reason the Steelers are NOT contenders any longer.

Seems Joel may get his wish on Warren very soon. Tomlin, when asked about Warren getting a bigger role:

"You know, he's just making plays when given the opportunities. And you know I think it's reasonable expectation."


Then again, Harris is averaging 4.6 yds/att..... well over the magic "4 yds/att".

"We're not calling enough jet sweeps"
"We're not ignoring Pickens enough"
"We need more slow developing run plays"
"We have to make it tougher for Pickett to get going, it builds character"

and Warren is averaging 2.9 yards a pop on the ground.

I think Warren is definitely going to get more opportunities in the passing game but he has to protect the QB better than monday night.

So, I'm allowed to want Tomlin gone now? I've been quiet about his lameness for a few years now, so . . . . .

of course you are.

it's just that there is zero chance of the Rooneys firing him before his contract expires.

Fans can vent, accept the truth (owner is in charge), "understand football", or constantly complain about the HC, OC, or DC.

There will be little or no acknowledgement for the owners input into the major decisions or direction of the franchise. I would be involved in every "major" decision of my billion dollar organization. Most fans remain in the dark IMO.

Forget "mojo" ... our offense needs to get back to being competent

it's been a while since it has been there

ehh, that first play Pickens is WIDE OPEN.

every other play was bad..

but I will say, this OL is awful at run blocking. Washington got pushed around last game too.
