Tomlin must be pretty confident Harvin will be booming punts Sunday night.

how much did harvin being the holder play into this decision?
Harvin's not a bad thrower also...I know..I know....WTF?!?

Im predicting a fake punt or FG in this contest..

You knew Tomlin would **** multiple things up and playing Harvin is one. Waitman had no problem holding for kicks so that's not an issue. Harvin is good for at least one shank per game. That will cost you in the playoffs. Mistakes are magnified.

Yeah remember when I harked on the bad moves the team made in the off-season /early season into mid season? Add another to the woodpile.

even tougher in cold weather.

Maybe we just don't understand Tomlin's logic, he could be encouraging the offense to perform better so they don't have to risk a Harvin shank. It's a motivation tactic.

I’ll say it…. Tomlin is a ducking idiot

Where? Right out of bounds?

It's hard to fathom at times. So done with him.

What I don’t get about HCMT is some guys get a leash a mile long and others one bad play and they never get out of the doghouse

Yeah how many games did Buggs and Green cost the team just because they kept trotting their stink out there game after game. Too slow to make changes and sometimes they just flat out make no sense.

Dk today posted an article that Klemm and Canada wanted to replace Green many games ago but Tomlin blocked them… the team is definitely not set by who is earning playing time…

I believe it. SMH

 

[Steelr4evr]

Can't wait to see the rest of the game plan. Brilliant start. Never put the best guys on the field.

So is Canada to blame afterall?

 

[madinsomniac]

I mean Harvin has a metric tonne of potential, but he absolutely sucks and out glorious special teams coach has screwed him up pretty bad so far… i dont get retaining him this late in the season with a viable option already on the roster and him unlikely to be claimed off waivers

 

[madinsomniac]

I’ve maintained from the get go that Tomlin keeps a tight leash on offense and defense which is why our issues carry over through coach replacements and player replacement…. I think Canada is just doing what Tomlin wants

None. Harvin was a draft pick, Waitman wasn't. Release Harvin for now and re-sign him to compete during camp next season. It's playoff time, you need your best players on the field.

 

[Buster]

This organization does not want to win.

 

[TDX27]

Don't forget just because JuJu was brought off IR, they can still make him inactive for the game. Tomlin IS that stupid.

Percy Harvin Wild Card game MVP, write it down.

 

[Avoid_Lloyd]

What kind of message does this send to players? They all can see like us Waitman has outperformed Harvin...no commitment to winning, just a commitment to stubbornness and ego from the leadership of this team

Is that guy related to the Steelers' punter, Pressley Harvin?
