If not true, I would have to think Tomlin could possibly be in play at some point.

Winning 8 games and the home playoff atmosphere might have done us in.

Hell he is born coach assassin. Wanted to fire Tomlin when he was part of the Steelers minority owners. So they say. So yeah I guess he could do something like that.

Thank you Frank I would have overlooked that probably. And already lost another account. Sometime after 2023 I lost access to the main one. Luckily I had this account just for the phone because I used to travel and didn’t have the original sign in handy. So when I got locked out of the original I already had this one to use

Thank you for posting that. Mine was outdated.

I would like to think he isn’t that stupid.

It is because there is not a good connection. We saw it with Renfro too. He was getting open and wasn’t seeing the ball. You can explain that however you want to I don’t know how to say it a different way.

That would be the most insane thing that could happen.

I see a lot of people who apparently think the coach is holding the QB back. Not the opposite. Which surprises me. Whatever, I guess. What will be, will be. So who is the next guy that probably won’t take the job, that y’all want?

So which NFC is a fit? Tampa if Bowles fumbles it his year? Tepper was allegedly wanting his head when in Pittsburgh ownership group. I thought about us and our history of being defensive oriented. Kind of old school. But then the owner…..

If there is actual pressure on Young they might be finally getting it. I am not going to advocate for Canales I just don’t see it as being in crucial mode. Code red level. I would see that as the next step in event of failure to bounce back. He is here in the first place because they couldn’t attract established HCs or up and coming hot coordinators. like always, it will play out how it’s gonna play out. ps what 3 games are you saying Canales lost? Thats like saying this was an 11-6 team if not for him. And that does not sound right to me.

Anyway, it is good news, potentially. The last 24 hours have seen many glitches and errors and failures to load or handshake etc. like what we saw before it went down the last time. So this is right on time.

For some reason I see Buffalo as a good spot for him. Similar to Pittsburgh in a few ways. They have kept coaches longer than many, and are kind of working class. And have a QB. If the new hire falters and Tomlin wants back in, could be something there.

Yeah there is that. If that puts the interest at a level where there are multiple teams with that on their mind you can trade him. A solitary team or one with only a mild case of they can fix him, can wait for his release. It just takes two teams to want him.

He has insulated himself some with Bevell and ceding the play calling to Idzik. Normally ceding play calling is something done under pressure as a last resort whether D or O, this doesn’t on its face appear to be that close to crisis mode. At all. But maybe it is preventative. Preemptive. Tepper bring so predictably unpredictable makes for all possibilities being in play but I get the sense that it would take a scandal, a huge collapse, something of that nature to trigger the nuclear solution.

He should. Tomlin too.

Pills and shots were pretty big in the ‘70s, as far as the public finding out about the seedier side of pro football. Check out the movie North Dallas Forty it is a plot line. If you haven’t. They have gone full corporate/deep state mode and whitewashed that stuff from the public consciousness but I would bet the players (and coaches and trainers) are well aware of the pill and needle solution that lets them stay on the field through injury and keep that big contract. The story is the same we just don’t hear it much anymore. I am not judging TD over that though I would have done the same thing probably. Whatever it takes….

At least put his book bag on his shoulder.

Exactly we are on the hook regardless so if we pay it and they don’t they can sweeten the pot with a little higher draft pick. I think that is the idea and it is somewhat common in sports these days. That’s why I know about it lol. I don’t know I could easily be wrong because teams don’t seem to be paying much for Murray and Tua because of the offset thing, but they were released and hit the open market. I think. The only real incentive for a team to trade is to beat out potential rivals if he hits the open market. As far as I can figure.

Yeah. Not sure who got their nose out of joint between him and JR. I think it was said that JR didn’t like him making that request. JR being an ex player, I can see why he wouldn’t feel like media should get credit for team accomplishments. I wouldn’t imagine a student broadcaster would get a lot. The attraction is the experience and exposure of you do a good job. Resume building. Connection building. ThT sort of thing. But I am only using my experience in a different field to make assumptions. I think once you get an agent you have more financial opportunities but I never worked in that arena.

With that 26 mil or whatever on his last year - if we want to trade him what we could do is pay that ourselves, essentially buy a better return in the form of s draft pick.

Well, you have it all figured out. I am not going to write multiple more essays to ry and change your mind. I don’t see some of the locker room issues being as dire as what you are interpreting, they are professionals after all and hopefully the character standards they have seemingly applied to who comes into that locker room will serve us well. And you know, there is more than one way to skin a little cat with 9 lives

I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else. Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame. I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man. Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look. And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it. Whoever isn’t committing.

Lot of passion there. Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win? There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.

Sure. Except I would be very surprised to see him have to settle for a DC position. Especially under a guy with the experience level of Canales.
