Kevin Dotson was traded away. He was never used properly or something..

Dont look now but Kevin Dotson is the top ranked Lineman on the Top Ranked Offensive line in the league ,, acccording to this ranking... Just throwing this out there ,, wtf how tf could the Steelers have been so wrong?

Hey man, my job and my assistants job wasn't to coach them. They're supposed to know everything by the time they get to the pros... Obviously.

They've had ****** position coaches and coordinators for more then a decade. Im hoping McCarthy brings in people who teach first.

Preach it !!!!!!!

My sentiments exactly.

I think the new coaching staff in all categories has bettered itself.




Salute the nation

Dotson, Jones, Pickens, Claypool. A lot of mismanagement from the prior administration. Let's not forget Ben Roethlisberger.

True...He was at times his own worst enemy but thinking back, if that team was run right and all the BS that was tolerated was cut out how good they could have been. They had so much talent back then on both sides of the ball and squandered it.

Claypool has done zilch since leaving the Steelers, and was a locker room problem in Chicago? How was he mismanaged by the Steelers?
 
Claypool had the skillset to be successful in the NFL. He was successful. I wonder how much of it was Claypool reading his own press and the coaching staff not being up to the task. Same for Pickens and, for that matter, AB. I just wonder what other coaching issues we didn't know about. Especially Pat Meyers.
 
You all are being too hard on Tomlin, probably because you forget that he was forced to start that disabled guy with one leg short at LT. If it wasn't for that necessary hardship, everything else would have been aces.

Except the only way to cut out the BS was to trade and/or cut the players. Look at what most of the trouble makers did after the Steelers moved them on - not a hell of a lot on the field and by and large still caused trouble off it.

This idea that if only the team was run right everybody would behave impeccably and perform like hall of famers is rubbish. Even though Antonio Brown won a Super Bowl and had Tom Brady as his QB he still only managed a total of 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns (and 100 yards and 2 touchdowns in playoffs)in his career after leaving the Steelers due to continuing to be a dick off the field. Martavis Bryant and Chase Claypool both did virtually nothing on the field after the Steelers traded them, and continued to be problems off the field with their subsequent teams.

So that idea is not rubbish.... Cutting out the cancers wherever they exist is not a bad plan. Unless the patient is terminal. Leaving the talented but cancerous players in place didn't work and everything caved in.

I see a similar path for lemon as Claypool had. He seems like a guy that cares more about his brand than being a football player first, and talent that doesnt work, that as Hines Ward can tell, will get beaten by hard work. Or something like that

I think Claypool was traded at the right time, kudos when they deserve it
