The Steelers need an injection of coaching talent. You could have the AFC Pro Bowl team on the roster and as long as Tomlin is the coach, you will have a .500 record. It has been that way for 18 years and a tiger does not change its stripes.
Your view of Carl Dunbar being above question is surprising. Like you said, edge rushers are DL guys also. Where's the interior pass rush, Where's ogunjobi improving, Where's the reasoning behind Bentons role? Is cams improvement over the last five years a result of Carl's leadership or is it cams natural maturation? I guess the question is, is Dunbar a rock the boat leader because it's what's needed for the betterment of the team or is he the yes guy steering the unit? Basic gap assignment is..well..Basic.
The Steelers spend too much on defense, so they should add offensive players in free agency and focus on defense in the draft. Tee Higgins is too expensive and is unlikely to choose Pgh. Look at other WRs like Godwin, Diggs, Hollywood Brown, etc., on a reasonable deal. Go with Fields on a 2-3yr contract at $10M-12M per season with some incentives rather than offering Darnold a big deal. If there is a top OT that you cover in FA like Ronnie Stanley, you can add him, Release Larry O and Cole Holcomb to save money. Let Najee walk bc this RB class is good and deep. The DL group is phenomenal and there are 20 R1-3 CBs in the draft. We need multiple WRs, so getting a FA and drafting one would be wise. R1- Burden/Egbuka/Morrison/Revel/Barron/Nolan/Grant/Simmons R2- Ayomanor/Royals/Golden/Higgins/A Thomas/Conerly/T Williams/T Sanders/Watts R3- Bech/Noel/Judkins/Trapilo/Milroe/Dart/Howard/Hairston/T Robinson There are plenty of really good players in the Steelers areas of need (other than QB…though I like the R3 guys). The team has a ton of cap space and should make major moves this off-season.
The highest guaranteed money to a free agent was Patrick Queen. You think they are going to pay Tee Higgins 135 million?! the Panthers will and so will another team but for damn sure not the Steelers
Bring back Feilds...Sign Higgins or Godwin..sign DJ Reed/Chevarious ward....trade Pickens for a round 3...first 6 picks then draft something lke Embuka/golden...draft Judkins/Johnson/ draft one of these big nose tackles and move Benton over to DE/ draft a cb draft / draft another offensive lineman and draft a playmaker/xfaxtor like tuten/ savion williams...something like is my idea and should be a more dynamic offense and better defense Offense could look something like Feilds Johnson/warren/tuten Embuka/Godwin/Austin/Wilson another draft pick and another free agent Friermuth/Washington Thats something like what ide like then see them do
Sorry but if they keep the same coaches with Tomlin nothing's gonna change .Tomlin making millions too much money .the standard is try to have a somewhat regular winning season 7and 8 season was great .Tomlin will never get Steelers to s Superbowl .plus win a playoff game
Yeah, right!, I agree with you guys. It's nothing but a connection. Jim is nobody, it's not like him and his brother talk about the team and football. It's not like they both work under the shield together, they're just related, blood brothers, nothing serious.😅😅😅, he doesn't know anything.. or am I just ignorant 🤔 and actually believe that two brothers don't talk
You don’t want anybody to take what Jim Rooney said with any weight to it, but then you’re very hypocritical with your opinions. I want people to take yours with. Yes, he may have the same last name as Art, but ignorance is bliss because he does have more weight than what you’re giving him credit forand just like you want people to value and come to your podcast and listen to your opinion allow his opinion to be spoken and left at that. It is what it is no more no less. The next thing is Tomlin is deadweight so what you have seen since he has been there is what you’re going to continue to see.
First time listener to the 412. Great show guys.

18 years but we've been to 2 Superbowls within those years
You brought up Tuten. No one talks about him. GREAT fit for the Steelers. I think he’s a diamond in R4!
The Standard is Substandard!!

Only way I'd trade george is for metcalf

R3- Bech/Noel/Judkins/Trapilo/Milroe/Dart/Howard/Hairston/T Robinson

I like how I called Mekhi Becton being a guy we should go after and look at what he did in philly
They ain't trading Pickens, Tomlin loves him
They asked Pickens do you see growth in the team, he said yes then they asked are you optimistic? Pickens said no so what’s the fucking issue!!!!???
bring in Rex Ryan for defensive assistant
As long as this coaching staff remains, it doesn’t matter who has brought in here. Tomlin turn Tom Brady into Mason Rudolph.
Bill Cowher was a much better coach
Quit buying Steelers merch and goin to games. That'll hit them in pockets
Ollie Gordon is too slow. We need some juice.
The highest guaranteed money to a free agent was Patrick Queen. You think they are going to pay Tee Higgins 135 million?! the Panthers will and so will another team but for damn sure not the Steelers
And yes, you are dead right. You need 3 WRs if Pickens is traded.
Godwin is a slot, need outside wr
Who says Roman Wilson gonna be any good
Bring back Feilds...Sign Higgins or Godwin..sign DJ Reed/Chevarious ward....trade Pickens for a round 3...first 6 picks then draft something lke Embuka/golden...draft Judkins/Johnson/ draft one of these big nose tackles and move Benton over to DE/ draft a cb draft / draft another offensive lineman and draft a playmaker/xfaxtor like tuten/ savion williams...something like is my idea and should be a more dynamic offense and better defense
Offense could look something like
Feilds
Johnson/warren/tuten
Embuka/Godwin/Austin/Wilson another draft pick and another free agent
Friermuth/Washington
Thats something like what ide like then see them do

nothing coming ...
Why pay for. More coaches sorry. Waste more money
steelers should and will resign Karl Dunbar I think he would be a great Defensive Coordinator
