Thank you! Finally, somebody calling out the defense and not putting all the blame on Russell Wilson. He’s not a miracle worker when you give up 229 rushing yards and only produce 29.
@@katazackI can’t help but look at tomlin with the way he constructs his team. If you’re going to have the highest paid defense in the league, they have to be lights out. That’s why every year looks the same. Even with new players, it’s still pour a bunch of money into. Play conservative on offense, rely on turnovers, and try to win a close one late. It’ll get ya 9 or 10 wins and a first round playoff whooping.
@IRatherbeTrashthanADemocratNo quarterback is going to be successful when they spend most of their time running for their lives. During the last 5 games Pittsburgh’s receivers either couldn’t get open or dropped the ball. Schematically…The coaching staff failed to evolve and their opponents did.
The 3-4 😆 isn't the Problem.... It's Poor Coaching only 1 Good W.R no Picken's No Passing Game... A young O-line are 2024 first rd. Pick. P. Fatunua out all Year and Broderick Jones 2023 first pick has Not Lived up to Expectation.. There's alot of Problems. But Fixable
@@darylstriffler1431 Fixable with a major overhaul. Pickens will only play when he wants. That's not going to change! Fatanua can't save this OL The Steelers have ZERO offensive talent. Defense is aging quickly.
Steelers just never seemed like they made schematic or strategic adjustments. And as Gerry said, the Steelers just felt they could line up against the opponent and win. Doesn't work like that. They are stuck in their ways. It's like someone with a dim light bulb and they keep walking into the same wall in their room.
It's interesting that mid-season everyone was saying Mike Tomlin should be coach of the year. Now everyone's saying he's a dinosaur and should be let go. People.
making the playoffs can never make a team in jeopardy- the Steelers lost to a better team good luck over the years thinking that changes with a new coach..... reality don't work like that
I'm born and raised in western Pa and am among that fan base you speak of and YES we are fed up ! it should never be up to a player OR coach when to leave ! they keep throwing $50 mil at him - would you ever leave ?!
You can't talk about Henry running for 160+ without acknowledging that Lamar is on the field at the same time. The Steelers defense then would have the same problem now. The dynamics of defending that would still be an issue. The Ravens are now just fully taking advantage of that dynamic while only giving the league hints of it during the year. Forcing a team to commit to one or the other while the one you don't focus on eats, and that was Jackson against us in that game. And then having him drop back 10-15 yards in passing situations made it worse because now he has daylight to move around and has always had the arm strength to still get it to places.
Harbaugh definitely held Lamar back during the regular season. There is no way to beat this team if they use both Henry and Jackson except by scoring early and often, then late and often. IMO only Buffalo and Detroit have a shot unless Harbaugh/Monken do something dumb or one of them gets hurt. None of this lets the Steelers off the hook-they were pathetic. But that two-headed beast is really, really tough.
The only quarterback the 00s Steelers couldn't beat was Brady. Jackson and Henry might put a dent in that defense, maybe beat it, but they wouldn't embarass it the way they did last week. The longer Tomlin stays, the worse it gets. There is no championship chance for this team for at least five years.
@@charlestarrant8733 yeah, I thought about stacking the box but we can't cover their TEs at all. And they weren't under center all the time for that to be most effective. They dropped Lamar 10 to 15 yards back to give him room between him and the nearest defender. That was ideal for us to have to run further to get to him, and then him being the most athletic player on the field with the ball in his hand to make a decision.
The front office made a couple of mistakes, but the last two drafts weren't bad. Injuries knocked out the 1st and 3rd draft picks all season. The glaring mistake was going into the year so thin on the DL and at WR. Andy Weidl is a good personnel evaluator.
The “Tomlin’s going nowhere” line ignores reality. This team is not getting better, it’s getting worse. Basically, they have one great defensive player (Heyward), and he’s at the end of his career. Other than him, they’ve got a great kicker. Next year isn’t going to be pretty. How will things look then?
@ Yeah, to be fully accurate-he is decent-very good at splash plays and has an engine that doesn’t quit, but he’s small and needs coverage behind him to get home (not like, say, a Miles Garrett). Elliott is also a good tackler, and Highsmith is a decent rusher as well. Now it’s covered. But that’s just nowhere near enough.
He's not going anywhere because the Steelers are paying him 16m a year and have 2 years left on his contract. They aren't going to eat 32m, so he's going nowhere.
The player are to blame. They are not as good as the big boys. Give Tomlin a Brady and a legit defense, and you have a 14-3 team with at LEAST 1 playoff win.
What doomed them is the stupidity of Tomlin calling the defensive plays and just keeping Terrell Austin as a fall guy. I’m sick of Tomlin calling the defensive plays…
@@CarlWinslowFM 😂 😂 you must be a friend of the soon to be unemployed Terrell Austin. Make sure you campaign hard for his job. Dude can’t coach defense at all. Not like he had any say as a defensive coordinator anyways… that’s why they have so many defensive breakdowns bc Tomlin has his hands on the defense so much. If he just backed off and let his DC do the work he was hired to do… maybe people wouldn’t criticize him so much????
The Steelers season wasn't promising. The signs were there all along, but people were too enamored with Hard Knocks. I knew this team wasn't all that when I saw Anthony Richardson and Aiden O'Connell dog walk the Defense. And again when Daniel Jones ripped through the Defense. The Steelers got by on opponents self-destructing on themselves. If opponents don't self-destruct, or Watt isn't superhuman, this team gets handled bad. Its been like that for the past several seasons and this season was no different. And next season will be no different either.
Steelers offense style needs an elite offensive line. It’s 24th in the NFL. That’s the #1 problem to be fixed and it could take several years to do so. With an elite oline the qb solution gets easier. Defense is old and the young ones are not as good as we thought - minus 90 who needs to move around more.
The Steelers ownership is disconnected from reality. They have chosen a mediocre coach over Steelers fan who actually love this team, unlike trust babe Rooney who just sits back and collect his money.
Most of the fan base will support the team no matter what. A lot of them have no idea what a championship team looks like. Speaking for myself, I really don't care whether they win or lose anymore. I laughed when they blew the Bengals game. It simply doesn't matter because with Tomlin and AR2 in charge, this team has lost its identity.
Lamar, Mahomes, Hurts, Burrow, Lamar again...QB driven league. What are we even talking about? Brady, Ben, Mannings....last 20 years how many QBs who arent elite have won Superbowl's? Only problem with keeping Tomlin is he is too good to get a top 5 pick because half the league is garbage.
Eli Manning isn't elite. Joe Flacco neither was Nick Foles. Top 5 pick? Lamar was late first round so was hurts. What are you talking about? You can draft good players no matter where you draft in the draft
1:50 highest paid defense in the league, Rich. When your beloved TOMLIN constructs his teams defense first. They need to play like the 2000s ravens or the 2008 Steelers defense to compete with the big boys.
When you flip a coin do you call a coin a choker if you flip it 5 times and and get all heads and then 5 times and get all tails? Boswell was excellent this season and made a difference. Those last 4 regular season games they were outscored 82-44. They played 8 games vs playoff teams this year and it was STEELERS: 123 vs. OPPOSITION: 141. It's not horrible, they're just a .500 team. Tomlin is a .500 coach, Russell Wilson is a .500 QB, Pickens is a .500 WR
The players gave up. The DB's didn't want to tackle. The edge rushers didn't want to pressure. The linebackers didn't want to do anything. The receivers didn't want to run routes. The team was soft, had no heart, and the scheme was stale and unimaginative. It's bad coaching, bad coaching, bad coaching.
Still living in the past, thinking that the Steelers from the "gold old days" would somehow just automatically stop Henry, as if no RB ever gashed even those teams. Besides, they keyed on Henry for most of hte game and still got run over. I really (REALLY!!) hope they keep Tomlin. One less team for the Ravens to worry about in the playoffs.
It Start's at the Top 🤔 Every Team Left in the PLAY-OFF'S has a Good Q.B including ( Goff ) and Good Head-Coach .... MIKE TOMLIN is the DOC RIVER'S of the NFL....

@steelphantom9105 Definitely TOMLIN is at Fault... He's a DEFENSIVE Coach that has The Highest Paid Defense in The League and Gives up 300 Rushing Yards to the RAVEN'S is W-E-A-K 😕 I was NEVER a Huge TOMLIN Fan.... TOMLIN needs a H.O.F Q.B like ROETHLISBERGER and a Good Defense to be Successful.... I gaurentee TOMLIN couldn't Turn around a Losing Franchise.. When COWHER Retired TOMLIN walked into a Very Good Steelers Team
@@darylstriffler1431 Chuck Noll needed a HOF quarterback and good defense to be successful. So did Cowher. As does most other superbowl winning coaches do.
Don't listen to all these clowns. What doomed the season was the fact the schedule got harder and exposed the lack of talent on offense. The talent level of the opponent rose significantly. Russ can't cook. There are no weapons. And the defense had some issues but it was far from the main issue. It's nothing that can't be cured by an infusion of talent. Need to be patient. Rebuild through the draft. Maybe losing could help. Can't keep winning and expect to draft elite talent.
I don't think he's overrated because he's had nothing but winning seasons since he's got there. The bottom line is you are not winning anything without good Quarterback play and a decent offense line.
Don’t blame the defense. Lack of coaching, of communication ,offensive, man to man coverage. Need to draft better players. Get coaches some know and play the game. Fire all Mike friends.
Every phase of the team was not good at all, except for the kicking game. But the offensive line was the absolute worst of them all. By far the worst run and pass blocking unit in the NFL.
I've thought that the Steelers are in a rebuild. Tomlin is just trying to keep it afloat. I also think the Steelers would be picking top 5 without Tomlin. I think Tomlin needs the world jumping on him, but let's be clear. This roster was ruined by Colbert's picks and letting FA's walk (Hargrave, etc.). Without Tomlin, this team would be 5-11 and 5-12 over the past 8 seasons. I want to see what Khan does this off-season. The Steelers have to draft a new NT to move Keanu to 5-tech (where I think he would be fantastic). They also need another WR, a new CB, a new RB, and a new QB. I'll reserve judgment until after the draft.
After listening to this guy i understand why they are the way that the steelers are, and why they'll never win in the playoffs for the foreseeable future. The defense was not that great to end the season, and in the playoffs. But the offense hadn't scored 20 points in a game since week 14. You aren't going to hold hold every team to 10 point for an entire season and all throughout the playoffs. The 2000 Ravens were a once in forever kind of defense, you can't just put all your money there and expect to be the 2000 Ravens. The steelers spend all of their money in that defense, so the goal is to double down on that and focus on the defense even more. Good stuff.
surprised Gerry said that the team doesn't have a "dynamic player coming off the bench." i thought... Nick Herbig? he hasn't put it all together... yet. but they beat the Chargers in wk...3? cos of his speed off the edge, 2 sacks and a FF. sure wasnt' the offense doing anything
Where is the smoke for the Steelers GM who still hasn’t fixed the offensive line, and still hasn’t provided any certainty at QB? Why hasn’t the GM EVER considered trading some picks to actually move up in the draft?
One of the No. 1 OL picks was injured all season and the other one is playing out of position. They moved up in the draft last year to take Broderick Jones. Unless you are drafting in the top 10, you have little chance of getting a franchise QB, and nobody is going to give you anything better than Russell Wilson or Fields. Plus, Tomlin signs off on every draft pick.
@@Fergs88 Colbert lost his fast ball the last half of his tenure, probably because Tomlin got more involved. They never had a strong draft in the teens. Three or four of them were disasters.
The players QUIT last year vs Colts and this year vs. Ravens in a PLAYOFF game !! The players cant say it publicly but they have zero faith in the game plans or the coaches hence the quitting and negative body language.
Having a superstar ball hawk like minkah 30 yards off the ball at all times is an issue. Having the OLB only do outside rush the same way every single play is an issue. Not disguise pressure for any amature qb can read is an issue. The defensive scheme is trash. Hot trash mixed with seafood. FIRE THE DC!
I was sounding the signal about the Def since that Colts game. Then again, with the Cowboys game and yet again with that stupid Browns loss. I said the Def was good, but not elite. That they give up too many big plays and they don't get key stops. I got called an idiot each time and just had to hear complaining about the offense. So the Def crumbling down the stretch didn't come as a surprise. The offense couldn't actually run the ball well. Najee only gets a thousands just because of volume. They don't use the middle passing. Russ is boom or bust just throwing sideline bombs or checkdowns. I don't really want to see either back.
Exactly 💯 but don't talk bad about Tomlin. This new breed of so called Steelers fans feelings get hurt when you talk bad about their 18 year non losing seasons coach.
It's time to understand that Art Rooney II is the Tomlin enabler. Virtue-signaling and bank is the only goal. Life-long Steelers' fans are treated like crap. I say time to boycott the Steelers until management is serious. There are other well-led teams with players that execute worth watching.
I’m sorry Gerry is insufferable. He thinks just like the Rooneys. Just conservative thinking. As far as Gerry is concerned Mike could go 0-16 he isn’t going anywhere and he will leave whenever he feels like it. I’ll tell you what if that’s actually true then that’s a very sad reality and the Rooneys should be ashamed. This is the sport and franchise that means the most to Pittsburgh. What a betrayal if a coach with zero coaching tree and looks like he’s always the underdog scheme wise these days has bulletproof job security. Fucking makes zero sense and Steelers fans deserve better they literally travel better than anybody. There’s a Steelers bar in every city in this country. If you ranked Steelers coaches he would rank 3rd and yet hes untouchable?!
He played six mediocre teams. The Broncos were just figuring it out with Nix and Herbert was out most of the game for the Chargers. They'd never beat the Commanders or Bengals (first time) with him. He will be No. 1 next season, so we'll know for sure.
The #1 reason the Steelers choked? Russell Wilson. He was just so bad at Quarterback. Nice guys do finish last. Steelers need a better Quarterback for next season, bottom line.
You steelers fans are absolutely delusional. Fire Tomlin lol. This man has his teams consistently overachieving with bad qbs..any true football fan can easily see steelers don't have a championship roster. Can't wait for yall to get your way and then you'll see what a bad coach is like
I spit out my coffee when he said the receivers can't get open in the middle of the field. I've seen breakdown of game film and they do get wide open and Russell Wilson just doesn't throw to the middle of the field.
This guy mentioned the Steelers moving on from Dionte Johnson and Kenny Pickett, as if they would start on any other team. They both suck. That’s why they are going to be back ups the rest of their careers. Tomlin actually worked a miracle by getting to the playoffs with such a bad offensive roster.
Thank you! Finally, somebody calling out the defense and not putting all the blame on Russell Wilson. He’s not a miracle worker when you give up 229 rushing yards and only produce 29.

Maybe it's because we've been running the same freaking defense since 1992.

Rebuild through the draft. Maybe losing could help. Can't keep winning and expect to draft elite talent.
I don't think he's overrated because he's had nothing but winning seasons since he's got there. The bottom line is you are not winning anything without good Quarterback play and a decent offense line.
Roster talent is the biggest issue. Its quite clear the last 5 games
Don’t blame the defense. Lack of coaching, of communication ,offensive, man to man coverage. Need to draft better players. Get coaches some know and play the game. Fire all Mike friends.
Every phase of the team was not good at all, except for the kicking game. But the offensive line was the absolute worst of them all. By far the worst run and pass blocking unit in the NFL.
I've thought that the Steelers are in a rebuild. Tomlin is just trying to keep it afloat.
I also think the Steelers would be picking top 5 without Tomlin.
I think Tomlin needs the world jumping on him, but let's be clear.
This roster was ruined by Colbert's picks and letting FA's walk (Hargrave, etc.).
Without Tomlin, this team would be 5-11 and 5-12 over the past 8 seasons.
I want to see what Khan does this off-season.
The Steelers have to draft a new NT to move Keanu to 5-tech (where I think he would be fantastic). They also need another WR, a new CB, a new RB, and a new QB.
I'll reserve judgment until after the draft.
2 things.... # 1 Tomlin is black.... # 2 He spends alotta time under Rooney's desk....
So true!!
After listening to this guy i understand why they are the way that the steelers are, and why they'll never win in the playoffs for the foreseeable future.
The defense was not that great to end the season, and in the playoffs. But the offense hadn't scored 20 points in a game since week 14.
You aren't going to hold hold every team to 10 point for an entire season and all throughout the playoffs. The 2000 Ravens were a once in forever kind of defense, you can't just put all your money there and expect to be the 2000 Ravens.
The steelers spend all of their money in that defense, so the goal is to double down on that and focus on the defense even more.
Good stuff.
surprised Gerry said that the team doesn't have a "dynamic player coming off the bench."
i thought... Nick Herbig?
he hasn't put it all together... yet. but they beat the Chargers in wk...3? cos of his speed off the edge, 2 sacks and a FF.
sure wasnt' the offense doing anything
mike tomlin worst excuse for a coach
Tomlin sucks!
Where is the smoke for the Steelers GM who still hasn’t fixed the offensive line, and still hasn’t provided any certainty at QB? Why hasn’t the GM EVER considered trading some picks to actually move up in the draft?
They drafted three oline and all three were great. Cmon, man.
@t.k.1319
Colbert retiring doomed the Steelers. He was the Steelers for 20 years.
Because Tomlin has lasted say over player personal.
One of the No. 1 OL picks was injured all season and the other one is playing out of position. They moved up in the draft last year to take Broderick Jones. Unless you are drafting in the top 10, you have little chance of getting a franchise QB, and nobody is going to give you anything better than Russell Wilson or Fields. Plus, Tomlin signs off on every draft pick.
@@Fergs88 Colbert lost his fast ball the last half of his tenure, probably because Tomlin got more involved. They never had a strong draft in the teens. Three or four of them were disasters.
Most OVER RATED coach in the NFL !! It's may not happen and the Steelers winning a Super Bowl will not happen as well !! Steeler Fan from 72///
Fire Tomlin 🤡
The players QUIT last year vs Colts and this year vs. Ravens in a PLAYOFF game !! The players cant say it publicly but they have zero faith in the game plans or the coaches hence the quitting and negative body language.
Having a superstar ball hawk like minkah 30 yards off the ball at all times is an issue.
Having the OLB only do outside rush the same way every single play is an issue.
Not disguise pressure for any amature qb can read is an issue.
The defensive scheme is trash. Hot trash mixed with seafood.
FIRE THE DC!
I was sounding the signal about the Def since that Colts game. Then again, with the Cowboys game and yet again with that stupid Browns loss. I said the Def was good, but not elite. That they give up too many big plays and they don't get key stops. I got called an idiot each time and just had to hear complaining about the offense. So the Def crumbling down the stretch didn't come as a surprise.
The offense couldn't actually run the ball well. Najee only gets a thousands just because of volume. They don't use the middle passing. Russ is boom or bust just throwing sideline bombs or checkdowns. I don't really want to see either back.
The moves Steelers made weren't enough; how much cap space does the Steelers hsve? Does Tomlin's contract count towards cap space? Aedin
Shame is, next year will probably be more of the same. So yay.
Exactly 💯 but don't talk bad about Tomlin. This new breed of so called Steelers fans feelings get hurt when you talk bad about their 18 year non losing seasons coach.
I hate the media and there know it all attitude
It's time to understand that Art Rooney II is the Tomlin enabler.
Virtue-signaling and bank is the only goal.
Life-long Steelers' fans are treated like crap.
I say time to boycott the Steelers until management is serious.
There are other well-led teams with players that execute worth watching.
I’m sorry Gerry is insufferable. He thinks just like the Rooneys. Just conservative thinking. As far as Gerry is concerned Mike could go 0-16 he isn’t going anywhere and he will leave whenever he feels like it. I’ll tell you what if that’s actually true then that’s a very sad reality and the Rooneys should be ashamed. This is the sport and franchise that means the most to Pittsburgh. What a betrayal if a coach with zero coaching tree and looks like he’s always the underdog scheme wise these days has bulletproof job security. Fucking makes zero sense and Steelers fans deserve better they literally travel better than anybody. There’s a Steelers bar in every city in this country. If you ranked Steelers coaches he would rank 3rd and yet hes untouchable?!
Justin would've led them to more wins🚶🏿♂️
100%
@CaribbeanSports84 Absolutely! The loss to the Colts allowed the Steelers to make the change, even though the D laid an egg in Week 4.
No chance. If they thought he gave them the best chance to win they would’ve played him. He can’t consistently complete a pass over 20 yards
Yeah, the guy with no field awareness sliding short on 3rd down would have been better… 🤦♂️
He played six mediocre teams. The Broncos were just figuring it out with Nix and Herbert was out most of the game for the Chargers. They'd never beat the Commanders or Bengals (first time) with him. He will be No. 1 next season, so we'll know for sure.
The #1 reason the Steelers choked? Russell Wilson. He was just so bad at Quarterback. Nice guys do finish last. Steelers need a better Quarterback for next season, bottom line.
You steelers fans are absolutely delusional. Fire Tomlin lol. This man has his teams consistently overachieving with bad qbs..any true football fan can easily see steelers don't have a championship roster. Can't wait for yall to get your way and then you'll see what a bad coach is like
hands down the most uninformed local media guy, the team will hardly even talk to him anymore
Glad somebody said it. This team was projected to finish LAST in the division. The grass is not always greener Yinzers
Thought Dulac did an excellent job in this interview!
Dulac last year was on this same show saying Kenny was responsible for the three game skid against 2 win teams. Kenny was injured.
Maybe because he speaks the truth and the organization doesn't like it.
@@KeepItHood901. Well when the grass is burning, it definitely greener on the other side.
schedule.
I spit out my coffee when he said the receivers can't get open in the middle of the field. I've seen breakdown of game film and they do get wide open and Russell Wilson just doesn't throw to the middle of the field.
.....I bet you will say Justin would find those open receivers
They don’t have a qb tomlin can only do so much without one
That’s Tomlin fault
Tomlin doomed the season and should be fired 🔥
This guy mentioned the Steelers moving on from Dionte Johnson and Kenny Pickett, as if they would start on any other team. They both suck. That’s why they are going to be back ups the rest of their careers. Tomlin actually worked a miracle by getting to the playoffs with such a bad offensive roster.
Tomlin built the roster and hired the coaches, so no, its not a miracle.
The only miracle Tomlin works is keeping his job. He is responsible for the roster. They don't make a move without his approval.
Next year will be the same thing 9-8 10-7 first round exit, anyone wanna bet ?
Queen was the only good pickup .Russ needs to go and Najee can leave also !
The play calling was getting to borderline Canada levels towards the end of year. Toss sweep right was turning into WR sweep all over again. 🤬
Elliott, the safety, is a player.
What makes you say that? Queen was terrible all year.
The Rooney family would rather destroy the Steeler's legacy than to fire a minority.
Rooney is an idiot!!! You've replaced everyone else EXCEPT Tomlin!! Definition of INSANITY!!!
