MT Word Of The Week 2

[Ron Burgundy]

Despite minimal training camp and no preseason games, Shades is coming into mid season form already.
This week’s Word Of The Week and new Tomlinism is:
“Meat on the bone.”

It's funny, over at the Scout Board there's a belief that Shades purposely utilizes vanilla game plans early in the year and until late in the season because his goal is to be peaking by playoff time and not reveal too much to the opposition in the regular season. I asked, "is that why Tomlin has never secured HFA? And how do you explain his 3 playoff wins in the last 9 seasons?" I was told that he doesn't care about HFA because if he builds the best team it shouldn't matter whether you play home or away in the playoffs.

So, it's good to see Shades isn't holding back at least with his word salad and verbal meat on the bone heading into week 3.

MEAT ON THE BONE is defiantly a Tomlinism of some significance, globally speaking.

While Snell had a good week 2 performance, I went with Conner over Snell because I knew intrinscially & instictively there was still "meat on the bone". And in spite of a compromised performance, with his 59 yard scamper to seal the game, JC proved to me & all of Steeler Nation distinctly & with finality, that there was "still meat on the bone"...

It's a word salad that is above the line and more substantial than popcorn, dietarily speaking. Obviously. (I just made up the word "dietarily" but there isn't a red spell check line under it so it must be a real word.)

I wonder if he thinks of new words and phrases in the off season. I'm not going to lie. Sometimes his words creep into my own coaching. Yesterday I used above/below the line. We play Friday and I have three fairly even DBs and two remaining spots. I told them. If your play is above the line we will share the remaining two spots. If you **** it up. No.

I'd be more concerned with how the boys perform in high school stadiums. You accept responsibility for your body of work verbally speaking and make no apologies for it. We're not looking for comfort in this thread.
