How about we give Haley more than one year before we want to burn him at the stake.
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

For example, if the team came out and ran the ball up the middle on every single down, just to keep Ben healthy, that would be a problem right? They'd probably go close to 0-16 and we'd all be ticked off.
Obviously running every play is extreme, but, you get the point. I'm asking what's the hang up on 16 healthy games (from Ben) in an average offense? I'd rather have 14 healthy games (from Ben) in an explosive offense. During 2 of the 3 seasons they've gone to the Super Bowl during Ben's tenure, he played only 12 games (for various reasons - lol)...
It's not a requirement to have perfect attendance during the regular season to do well in the postseason.
Tell me. What do you do with offensive coordinators?
Burn!
Burn!
Burn! Burn them up! Burn!...
And what do you burn apart from offensive coordinators?
More offensive coordinators!
Shh!
Wood!
So, why do offensive coordinators burn?
B--... 'cause they're made of... wood?
Good! Heh heh.
Oh, yeah. Oh.
So, how do we tell whether he is made of wood?
Build a bridge out of him.
Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. True. Uhh...
Does wood sink in water?
No. No.
No, it floats! It floats!
Throw him into the pond!
The pond! Throw him into the pond!
What also floats in water?
Bread!
Apples!
Uh, very small rocks!
Cider!
Uh, gra-- gravy!
Cherries!
Mud!
Uh, churches! Churches!
Lead! Lead!
A duck!
Oooh.
Exactly. So, logically...
If... he... weighs... the same as a duck,... he's made of wood.
And therefore?
An offensive coordinator!
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
