    Time to bench the following players

    Harris. A do nothing back who gets the offense into trouble more often than not. We need a new primary ball carrier.

    Dotson. Three flags and lousy blocking. OUT

    Havin. We can find a better punter on other teams practice squads or on the street. I grow tired or your act.

    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.

      Harris grinding out some good runs to close out the game. Stop throwing pitches and run him between the tackles.

      Harvin was fine today, didn't think he had any shanks or short punts.

        Harris had 14 carries for 42 yards. He had one good run and several bad ones.

          This. He's not fast. Trying to have him run tosses to the outside is stupid.

            I think Najee has certainly regressed this year.

            And TB also has a really strong run D.

                guess you forgot about Najee's TD catch which was the difference between winning and losing, so there's that....

                  The benching has to with 6 games played. 1/3 of a season.

                    Still, you don't bench guys after a big win, especially guys like Najee who was out there fighting his ass off.

                      Smart coaches bench guys who after 1/3 f the season are not getting the job done. He should at least get fewer carries. He's a boat anchor around the offense neck. Why do you think we have so many WR runs? It's because they can run outside and Harris can't and WR running plays are more successful in general.

                        I don't think anyone will argue we don't have too many WR runs in this O. Why?

                          watching some of these other games. These punters are booming the ball. Dallas punter just before with one 60 yards in the air.
                          the giants punter kicking 50 yards in the air.

                          harvins avg is 5 yards shorter then the leader.
                          And that’s with a few rolls going his way in recent games.
                          how far are his punts traveling in the air ?? under 40 yards ?

                            it's certainly very interesting timing to start this kind of a thread after we just had a big win.

                              It's ridiculous, there is no way on earth as a coach you walk into that lockerroom after that game and start benching people based on stat lines.
