    Problems with Mike Tomlin's Defensive Scheme?

    Talks about over cover 3 which the Steelers play often.



    A must watch for serious fans.


    "They still do the same G----- s--- [as] when I was playing Tomlin's defense," Edelman said. "I'm like, 'We still have linebackers covering the three slot?’ Every time we play Steelers, I have at least nine catches. You would think that they would change it but no, they do what they do."
    Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

    Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

    *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

      This board is becoming almost unusable again. Everything takes forever to load. At least for me

        Me, too. Keeps me from using it as much as I otherwise would.

          No issues here, but I do have a nice add blocker which I pay for.

            We'll nothing that we don't know. If you're walking your Mike out to cover the slot you will have issues. Keep doing what you been doing means you will keep getting what you've been getting. Burned.

              You mean the site is snappy for you? I don't care about the ads so much. But's been crawling slow lately. Although, after I complained above, it's been faster. Ha!

                Amen.

                This to me is the number one critique of Tomlin. He's a defensive head coach. And it's been written from multiple sources and angles, that we just do-what-we-do and never change. And we keep getting epic beatdowns in the WC round, when we do make it that far.

                And SOMEHOW, despite doing the same thing year after year after year, there's always a bunch of miscommunication on D. Somehow, our D is far more confusing to our own players than it is to the opposing teams.

                So, what exactly does Tomlin bring to the table at this point, that his replacement can't do?

                  It was definitely bad for a couple of days. Amazing to think that like the whole internet performed like that 20 years ago!

                    Yeah, I vividly remember dial-up service. Waiting ages just to connect to the internet. And then delight when a page would load in under 10 seconds!

                      Not for me, but like I said I pay for a good add blockers and worked for a company that speeds up thier clients web sites.

                        It's probably the worst forum in terms of performance Issues I've come across since the change, it's pretty awful to be frank. Maybe it's because I don't have an ad blocker but it shouldn't run this bad regardless. It also seem like ads in general are getting way worse everywhere online now.

                          This morning is lightning fast so far, but most days it drags and I am using an ad-blocker.

                            my issue with the site is sometimes I have to tap links twice or 3 times for it to work. I think its the ads but not sure.

                            Also, most pages on mobile slam down to the bottom of the page after they open.

                              I have the same problem with having to tap links. Sometimes I tap a link and it takes me to the wrong place. It's even worse on my phone where often I'll tap a post and it takes me to user profiles.
