DK’s Daily Shot of Steelers: So, no real change?

32 comments

1. Thanks DK

2. Unserious organization content with mediocrity.

3. The Eagles have won a Super Bowl, fired their Head Coach, conducted a rebuild, appeared in 2 Super Bowls and won a Championship… all since Tomlin last won a Playoff game.

4. This Organization Is Crumbling From,
   Within, It's Cheap Pockets.
   Couple More Years Of This Crap.
   See What Happens Then.
   Cheap Cheap Cheap Cheap 😂.

5. I will watch some games next year but if they come out of the gate struggling to run, failing to score points in the first quarter, and doing the same stuff they've been doing every year…..I'll tune out early.

   I love this team but I don't have to watch it crumble and do nothing to fix it.

   There were too many blunders across the board all year in 24'. It was a bad team that overachieved. I credit the talent for eking out wins but I blame the coaching for neutering the team.

   Almost 300 yards rushing by Baltimore and no adjustments. That's bad coaching. I'll scream that into a cave so the echo can repeat it.

6. I just cant get excited about anything the Steelers do at this point.

7. Joke of a team now.

8. This is nothing short of utter disrespect to the fanbase by keeping not only Austin or Meyer, but BOTH. When Art and Tomlin thumb their nose at you, you gotta be willing to thumb your nose right back. This is entertainment, and they aren't "entitled" to your money or viewership.

9. It's interesting to hear former patriots view about the steelers. ,…….."they do the same things year after year ,they were easy to beat "

10. DK what are your thoughts on what is being said about the physical camps the Steelers are known for. It doesn't seem to make a difference in a positive way. Is it time to scale back?

11. Another all talk no action off season

12. Zach Frazier, second round rookie looking like a Pro Bowler. McCormick, fourth round rookie looking like a starter. Spencer Anderson, seventh rounder looking like a serviceable backup across multiple positions. McCollum, UDFA looking like a serviceable back-up. Fautanu First round pick hurt. Starting RG Daniels hurt. Broderick Jones looking better at the end of the year after he had a massive brace on his elbow and wrist for the first half of the year.
    FIRE MYERS!

13. We know how it goes, it takes a real tragedy for them to fire an assistant or coordinator.

14. Pickett is a back up and only a back up. He will never be considered a good one either. Earl Morrall was a great back up. Kenny who?

15. Remember the words….. unselfish.That was a term cowher used to use a lot .When I watch the eagles that's what I see.tomlin is the opposite.he doesn't allow his staff flexibility too expand this team.

16. The one position that needs to change is not changing. So basically be prepared for more of the same 👍 thanks DK appreciate you.

17. Dk this is so crazy to me, hearing alot of people complaining about the O.L, and Coach Myers. 2 first round draft picks a 4 rounder and a second year player alot of people think that they suppose to be superstars players in 1 year. Most offensive veterans will tell you it take a O.L players at least 3 years to develop. Give the guys time to grow up. Very few people is good on any job 1-3 years on a new job. Then as a football coach once told me it come down to the heart of the player and how much dog he has in him. Can slow down his growth. The Steeler are in rebuild, calm down. 😮

18. Brod had lifting injury from before summer camp.His deltoid only became worse and he telegraphed run.Rhis will not be case next year but competition for position will be tough.

19. They operate like this because they know they can. They know Tomlin and then to a lesser extent Rooney (because he is loyal to Tomlin) is above reproach. Nothing will EVER be Tomlins fault in the eyes of the media. And lets be honest. The media writes public perception. Any non-Steelers fan thinks the Steelers are doing great.

20. I am curious about Meyer, if anybody could answer this: since he has been with the Steelers, has the line at any point been a decent line? Or are there too many externalities to really tell? I’m not asking this in support of him. I’m just curious.

21. First losing season for Tomlin coming. This team is cheaply coached.

22. Totally agree! Penny wise, pound foolish. Investing an extra $300k or $600K to get your 5 multi-million dollar draft picks to develop and play up to their potential seems like a no-brainer but that's where we are now with AR. I do have one question that's been bothering me this season — why did the Steelers give up a 5th round draft pick for Mike Williams if they weren't going to use him? Have you heard from any insiders what happened. Did the front office somehow impose Williams on the coaching staff (aka Tomlin) against their will. Seems weird especially since Williams was invited to Pittsburgh as a FA to possibly sign (before Jets stole him). Is this another instance of a stubborn/insecure Tomlin thinking he's smarter than everyone else?

23. Real changes ? What’s that ??

24. Trade a 2nd for Stafford , draft a WR , RB , and diamond in the rough CBs and d lineman

25. Regarding Munch (and I'm all in on him coming back at any price),,, don't other teams PAY someone to watch "replays" almost in REALTIME and give advice to the RedFlag guy. Just making an observation 😊

26. You all need to go be a fan of another team . I’m so tired of the negative comments . Last season is over , let’s be positive for the off season ! Cmon ! Go Steelers !

27. We keep talking about coaches. Fire this coach, hire this coach. When will we say players play better. Beat the man across from you. Win your 1v1s. All this coach talk needs stop

28. I have made myself to not buy anything Steelers related. Might not be much to hurt the pockets of Mr. Rooney but they for sure won't take my money anymore.

29. Keep low level coaches get low level play. His o-line has been the #1 problem for years.

30. Defense fades at end of year because they stay on the field way longer than offense fix the offense and defense will be better stop playing corners so far back you draft aggressive corners then you put them in zone

31. to be fair, What if Pat did a great job and Brod was just a mess this year? The rookie center and rookie guard played great. Look at Chuks, he had the talent and physicality to be an all pro but he was just a chowderhead

32. If in fact the Rooney does not like paying people for not working…

    Then:

    Tomlin is here for 3 more like it or not

    Smith is OC for two more like it or not

    RW3 is gone because he cannot co-exist with Smith

    And the hope that JF and OC Smith will work seems ill advised

    since run-run-pass is easy to stop even with Superman JF (as if)

    if you ignore the pass and load the box on first and second down

    leaving JF a lot of third and longs

    with not enough WRs to cause any defense much trouble.

    Simple question:

    Does anyone really think the Steelers go 10-7 if the JF and the offense from the 4-2 first six games finished out the entire season? Against much better teams? In short week after short week? With a defense getting older and more tired as the season wore on?

    Good luck with all that.
