If we aren't presenting any downfield, middle of the field threat, the D can cover both the rush and the pass; that's the entire point from last year's pathetic O production: 28th in TDs scored, 18 PPG, Pickett 2nd to last in QBR and near the bottom of the list in passing production. SOmethings got to change or production isn't gonna grow.

I would go ......
Green -FB
Naj- RB
Mooth -Washington- 2 TE set
CA3 -WR
in this formation I have lot of beef but still have the ability to throw the ball and teams better not sell out for the run or CA3 will smoke them for 6@dwinsgames on twitter .... Kenny Pickett is who I thought he was ....Comment

Picken IS the downfield threat. He will DEFINITELY have single coverage as safeties MUST stay in the box in this run heavy set.
If we dont go Pickens, Muth goes midrange with a size advantage.
Najee and Washington.. even Green are outlets. You will not stop either for a 1 yard gain.Last edited by Captain Lemming; 08-07-2023, 02:49 PM.sigpic
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

I go 2 HB with Warren blocking for Najee or vice versa before I have Conner blocking for either.
Conner at fullback is just a way to account for his spot.
Truth is we need to thank Gentry for his service and move on. He is a less talented version of Washington. Even raw Washington is better at what Gentry does.
Outside of injury I see zero reason for him to ever see the field.sigpic

It annoys you that everyone doesn't adopt you negative and nihilistic attitude toward Tomlin, and you also exaggerate and misstate many points.
There doesn't have to be major production from one person but improved production across the board which results in better team success.
Tomlin is well recognized for his ability to extract good performances from players, even if you can't admit anything positive.
Last year, would be a good example. The team was in transition at QB and lost their top defensive player, TJ Watt for a long stretch. People like you were ready to bury the team and you said they would be 5-12 or something like that.
But the team was able to improve over the season, which is what usually happens, and they finished with a somewhat surprising winning record. Tomlin was able to coax performances from players like Steven Sims, Robert Spillane and Arthur Maulet and others
Another reclamation project Ray Ray McCloud was a contributor the prior two years, when he was almost out of the league. He credits Tomlin as many players do.
So I think "Shades" has an excellent approach to player development and it is far superior to your attitude which is overy critical, and negative. I don't know if you have ever tired to mentor, teach or coach anyone, but your approach of telling everyone you come into contact that they "suck" would not get anywhere.Comment

Two reasons for Pickens over DJ. I am not a DJ hater, but Pickens skillset is simply better in that scenario.
1. If we DO run he is a preferred blocker. And having little DJ on the bench sells the intent to run more if we DO pass.
2. Who is more likely to catch a deep pass. DJ excels in getting free short with quick bursts but does not tend to be effective beating people with deep speed
Pickens is not only better the longer the route, even covered his contested catch prowess makes him the better choice.sigpic
