Tomlin the diva WR enabler?

[benderbender]

Haven’t seen any confirmation of this topic yet so it may just be time filling conjecture. But after the AB debacle, it doesn’t seem that far of a stretch that Tomlin’s main skill is to keep divas under wraps from the media at least.

Tomlin the Super Bowl winner.

This is old, old news.

You people will do anything to start a backdoor 'Dump Edmunds!' thread 🤨(Trubisky to Buffalo for Edmunds, straight up.)

I was waiting for the part where he says “so Mitch got a knuckle sammich.”

 

But I like that they interviewed the puncher and he says he’s good with it. Probably felt great. 😆

Dont forget there is an Edmunds on the Steelers too! (And we could probably use him at Safety)

Well, if both teams exchange players who are related, isn't there some sort of cancellation of salary cap considerations? 🤔

Yes, but both the Pats and Chiefs get 3rd round comp picks.

Actually, Patriots get comp picks.  The Chiefs go down to the slammer with these:

One member of the family per team is more than enough. The brothers play the same way, just different positions and body types.

Tomlin doesn't over regulate his locker room. Never has. It has its pros and cons.

Is that a complement, or a condemnation?  Around here, that depends on who you talk to. I still haven't figured out if Tremaine Edmunds is a Pro Bowler, or should be bowling in a beer league and working at Chevy River Road. 🤔

[Big Turk]

Well, whatever you want to say but Pittsburgh has a very long track record of drafting productive WR's in the NFL...literally almost everyone they draft at WR turns out to be a good player...

 

As a Bills fan I would probably not be throwing stones at their WR drafting skills.

Well, if we had two of them, there would always be someone to yell at and someone to admire.

Then the next game, just switch it up. 😁

[Aussie Joe]

Smells like BS…

 

Supposedly it was just a “ slanging match”…

[Malazan]

The jets seem to always be involved in some way when a QB gets punched in the face. 

[John from Riverside]

People shouldn’t be talking about Tomlin. People should be talking about why an offense of lineman didn’t slam dunk this wide receiver into a garbage can.

You can't micromanage superstars. You shouldn't even micromanage GOOD talent. Those who need constant management and reinforcement benefit more when it comes from their colleagues, anyways. Horizontal buy-in. Marv Levy knew what he had in his (kinda dooshy) team back in the day (they were probably just too ungovernable). Andy Reid understands who he's dealing with. Et cetera. Success is the best team-builder.

 

Tomlin is pretty good at it, given some of the WRs he's had to "govern" since the real winning subsided.

[Mr. WEO]

Luckily for Trubisky, the Bills never gave him a chance to throw to his WRs at all...

Is frowning on WRs punching your QB really considered micromanaging these days?
