Todd Haley ... How u like me now?

[RollRedRoll]

Ben never looked as good under Arians as he does under this guy... His numbers are all better and he takes way less punishment.... How much of that is just Ben finally maturing and playing to the level of his talent and how much of it is the O coordinator, not exactly sure and don't really care... Just glad to see the offense playing to its potential...

Ben had some great games under Arians, I am trying to temper my excitement because the last 2 weeks he has been on absolute fire. Now we need to go stomp on the Jets and Titans. Everyone here knows we should.

The jury is still out. Arians has a pretty good track record since leaving Steelers. Haley has earned himself some breathing room.

What Arians has done since he left has nothing to do with what he did while he was here. This is the type of offense we saw in Arizona when Haley was the OC there. When you have the pieces, it looks incredible. In Az you had Fitz, Bolding, and Breaston. I think when Bryant became healthy and got caught up to speed enough, Haley's offense really opened up. We now have four capable WR's, and that is only going to help Antonio Brown out even more. Wheaton has stepped up the last two weeks, Bryant has been phenomenal, Antonio Brown just stamped his elite WR card. And when you throw in a veteran like Moore, who is also more than capable of making plays when his number is called, the WR position is as deep as everyone was hoping it would be going into the season.

And that's why we should be cautious in our optimism here.

As a head coach, not an offensive coordinator. For the most part he seems to stay out of Carson Palmer's way.

This thread is useless without pictures (of Haley's wife)

I want to know who is calling the plays and how many audibles are happening. If this is truly Haley calling the plays, then I give him props. If he is letting Ben have more freedom, then I also give him props. The O is really executing now. What had been a weakness (scoring in the red zone) has now become a strength.

 

[SteelerSask2]

I'd give some kudos to Haley, but more accurate is thank you Mr. Munchak. Ben got sacked three times there, but you gotta realize this isn't Manning throwing 4 yard check downs. The pass blocking and blitz pickups by the backs has been unreal.

Exactly. We had 2 games against Tampa and Jax where we should have crushed these teams but failed miserably in both even though we escaped with an unimpressive win against the Jags.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Impressive or not, a win is a win. The O is definitely clicking but what about the D? They be a clicking right along side, with less. TEAM win, and I'll say it again, TEAM win !!!



Salute the nation

I agree with the AZ comparision (Warner, Fitz, Boldin, Breaston).....Haley can really expand his playbook. And hes got the "pedigree" to coach this 'O" all the way to Phoenix (Lwob Repus)

 

[obxsteeler]

Maybe give Tomlin some credit too. Haley seems to be coaching with a lot different attitude than he did at Ariz./KC.

 

[Steelerfan]

I don't think that's Haley's wife, but who cares? Karma sent.
