Don't bother with Tomlin. I've said what I'm gonna say and there are thirteen threads. Unless a blockbuster trade deal comes up (beyond unlikely) he will be the HC next year whether I like it or not.
Offense:
Fichtner: Ben's guy. He will get a pass this year. I think he is clueless and probably should be gone. But he is a package with Tomlin and Ben.
James Daniel: TE's: tough to say. The play was abysmal, but it was all linked with the QB's and the OC
Faulkner RB: See Daniel above.
Sarrett: Oline. For sure they need to improve here.This was the strength of the team. Offensive line coaches are often failed HC's and coordinators. Grab a name.
Sherman Reciever: Thanks for stepping in Ray. tough situation. Re-enjoy retirement.
Defense:
Butler: Tomlin puppet. Going no where. And no question the defense was better But jezz it really should have been. Maybe they can add a few more all pros and put it over the top.
Bradley/ Austin Db's: Keep. Beyond the talent, these guys for the most part looked well coached and they were able to teach some really good technique. PI seemed way down and plays on the ball way up.
Dunbar: Keep. Dline was very good. Loaded with talent. But Hargrave seems to have blossomed and Buggs at least saw field without being a total liability.
Olsavsky: Keep. Inside LB'ers were good. I don't know who coaches OLB's doesn't seem to be listed.
Danny Smith: Wow if this guy keeps his job, I guess that really tells you all you need to know about how Tomlin evaluates his staff.
