Front Office was dissatisfied with Tomlin use of TE Pat Friermuth / middle of field last season.

Article talks about old system use and how the new system points to much more realization of TEs, but not them being the focal point.

Also talks about little on Washington’s $$$$ commitment but also points out Pat’s $$$ combine next of two years ago.

Good Home Page Article and worth the read for insight. (Thank You). STEELERNATION.com





What say you ???

Definitely Coolie, slow time of year but also a home page article claiming that the front office was concerned about the Tomlin not realizing Muth.

You don’t see to many articles with diminishing light on the Tomlin.

Also Muth was given big money (at the time) and used less.

Now with Washington getting the “pay-day”, what will his us be?

I think under this new offensive scheme that the opposition is going to have to defend the middle of field as well, something that could be over-looked against the old regime.

I thought the article showed some good light on the tight end situation.

Such a near sighted vision of the game. Did things that maximized wins against certain teams that could not possibly give you a punchers chance against a contender. You could really tell it when they'd spring a guy three yards open because the opponent overplayed not worrying about it.

Tomlin always said they don't live in their fears when that is obviously exactly what he had been doing the last 4 or 5 years. I can't wait to see how this new O is going to operate with Rodgers and then without him.

Absolutely!!!!

Can’t wait, really can’t come soon enough, to see how this offense operates without Rodgers.
 
What the offense looks like this year under MM is probably the most exciting thing to look forward to. I wonder if Rodgers in his advanced age will limit it tho

Are you kidding me. West Coast offenses are based in scheming guys open. If the receivers are capable of being where they are supposed to he is going to dice teams. He did pretty good last year in whatever offense that was supposed to be.

He has no mobility. He didn’t hold the ball long at all last year, it’s debatable if that was the scheme or Rodgers preference to not get hit, or a combination of both. He wasn’t good against high level defenses and was awful in the playoff game.

Yes the West Coast offense schemes guys open but you still half to go down the field-to keep the D honest, will Rodgers be willing to do that? Remember he and MM didn’t end on good terms in GB.

There’s also a reason he’s back with us, no one but the lowly Cardinals wanted him.

He might be fine, or Father Time and these other factors might get him. I’m hoping for the former but let’s be realistic

The scary reality is whatbyou just said, " no one but the lowly Cardinals wanted him" . A reality gut punch.

I want the offense to spark up. No telling if Rogers can do it. He's older than Ben was and people railroaded him out.
 
It's a pretty niche market guys. Pretty good team with no QB. He had good numbers last year. Had exactly one deep threat. Every team knew that. They even win a lower out game without that deep target.
