Dotson mid season All Pro

[Buzz]

Makes you wonder if some of our other OL players might do a lot better with different coaching/scheme

Are you serious? The Rams have other problems, who cares about them?

I care about the Steelers not using players correctly and playing to their strengths, everyone should, unless you're so devoted to Mike Tomlin that you believe he is infallible.

Seriously, who would NOT care about this? You guys are in a friggin' cult.

yes, and the cult members are called yinzers.

Everything isn’t about Tomlin even though you want it to be.

This is so disappointing that there was an organizational failure in developing Dotson. Was it the OL coach or Tomlin? I know Dotson was in Tomlin's doghouse, so could it be our HC? I'm leaning towards an inept Matt Canada system.

He should have stayed on the right. He was really good as a rookie on that side. It seemed obvious to me there was a huge difference with him on the left.

I said that on this forum.

Who did not recognize what a novice like me could plainly see?

Oline coach? Canada? Tomlin? Don?t know.

Ultimately Tomlin can override the rest so he is responsible.

[Captain Lemming]

Hopefully Rooney. He should be concerned that players are getting better when they leave Pittsburgh and worse after they arrive in Pittsburgh. It indicates a coaching/scheme problem.

I would suggest the majority of Steeler players who played elsewhere do not fall in that category.

That's the real thought everyone should be addressing.

He's a FA at the end of the season anyway. At least we got a draft pick for him.

exactly how I feel about it.

I never liked Dotson because he commited too many penalties & seemed to get our QB killed. But when you can't throw down the field As Ben couldn't after the arm surgery & Pickett yet has, then it makes it real hard to grade OL because defenses stack the line & blitz.

Great QB'S make everyone around them better. Below average QB'S make everyone around them look worse.

Burrow's line still looks like ****.

At the end of the day, the buck stops with Tomlin. We do not need to break down whos fault the lack of development is. If employees are not performing and management allows such?it?s a management problem.
