Tomlin fines players for team violations

Drink IRON City said:
If this fine thingy was instituted then WHY all of a sudden we are JUST hearing about it???? The ONLY thing I've heard was the ping pong incident and that was eons ago. Bryant's was bigger than a fine. If the ping pong made BIG news way back then and NO money involved I guarantee yaz with money involved these player's would be screaming as if the just been had with the PREVERIAL MASShole "red hot poker". I thin k Coach Cool Shades runs a lose ship and it will take visual action to deny it, like showing on the field you are a diciplined team for one thing.

He's trying to run a tight ship.
My opinion only, I think there are a few bad cases in the locker room, but the Steelers as a whole are keeping the negative under wraps.
The whole season has been a big pile of "wtf?" Off field wise

This thread embodies why I love this board so much. The fanbase can be so divided within itself on certain issues, but at the end of the day not many people get butthurt and most realize we're "all on the same team."

**** Mike Tomlin.







































In the ***.

the only visable bad apple from a attitude and play stand from the D was Mitchell he has that old Lee Flowers trash talking and hitting like him but he runs his mouth to much and can't back it up takes horrid angels running downhill. He has to go several FA S that can replace him.

You must be thinking of the Mitchell from STEELERS past as since he was fined he hasn't delivered a hit worth **** yet alone a tackle for a loss or an interception. Least ways Flowers could hit and maybe my memory is off but wasn't it FLOWERS who call out the Tampa Bay paper champions........Said they looked good on paper and then when we played the game Flowers played well enough to back up those words as the STEELERS trounced them.

I'd take 59year old Flowers...........Hmmmmm

Defense is Tomlin's specialty, and though he was active in defensive meetings from a planning standpoint, he didn't micromanage the jobs of coordinator Keith Butler and the position coaches, the veteran said.

Coming from players, Tomlin doesn't micromanage. Reporters fabricating his micromanagement in games just doesn't jive...

For those saying he doesn't discipline anyone.

Tomlin discipline

The Jacksonville loss caused Steelers fans to question everything, including the head coach. A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report about Le'Veon Bell showing up late to a walk-through didn't help the growing perception that the Steelers were too loose -- or looking ahead to New England -- entering the biggest stretch of the year.

But players outlined Mike Tomlin's approach to discipline in monetary terms: Instead of punishing the entire team with benchings (save the rare case, such as Martavis Bryant ripping a teammate and requesting a trade), the coach's fines range from $1,500 to $6,000 for missed meetings or walk-throughs.

"If a guy walks in late, you're fined $1,500. It’s that simple," Pouncey said. "Each time, it goes up in price."

One veteran Steeler said players showed up on time more often than in 2016, when Roethlisberger said at midseason the Steelers may be lacking in discipline. A couple of players were late here and there, the teammate said, but the issue was far from widespread, and Bell wasn't considered a problem in this area.

Defense is Tomlin's specialty, and though he was active in defensive meetings from a planning standpoint, he didn't micromanage the jobs of coordinator Keith Butler and the position coaches, the veteran said.

"All players respect him," Pouncey said. "You can’t have a winning season like we had if players don’t respect the head coach."

Heyward called Tomlin's decision to predict fireworks with the Patriots in the Week 15 matchup "ingenious" because it deflected attention from the team and placed it squarely on himself.

Some Steelers generally like that their coach is looser than, say, Bill Belichick.

"Just because we're different than New England, people want to paint it that we're not disciplined," a veteran Steeler said. "That's not the case."

$1,500.00 is chump change for the players. I heard coaches were late for game day. WTF?

Where are the fines for social media detrimental to the team?

Like Bell threating to hold out during a playoff week?

The team is not focused, so whatever fines Tomlin is hitting the players and coaches with isn't working.

If we had Tom Coughlin or Bill Bellicheck, this crap would quickly stop. Once you have the reputation as a relaxed players coach, its sticks with you.

Simply stated it a respect type of thing, and reflects very poorly on the man in charge.
