The GM segment with Matt was fun
Absolutely loved Matt’s breakdown as GM. It’s a good reminder that this is a business.
Thanks for all your hard work this season fellas hopefully next season will be even longer.
6:57 no I'm sorry Dale I can't run with the 3 games in 11 days and Injuries excuse.
I do believe I said that I was not making excuses. But it was a factor in the losing streak, especially given who they were playing and considering two were on the road.
@@dalelolley4100By saying it, you’re making an excuse. Let it go
Give me a break. Tomlin plays Checkers and is exposed in the Playoffs. His limitations aren’t modified by him calling in sychofants and comforting each other. It’s been 8 years!
Great show I appreciate the honesty...
Most people don't know the history of the steelers or any other teams...
Please dont bring back Wilson, you want a repeat of this year or mayve worse. Fields is 25 Wilson is 36.
The fact that pros still bounce and don't static stretch is something on the physical therapy side of rehab I haven't seen other athletes do in decades. I squwak about it all the time with regard to soft tissue injuries.
Excellent show!!!
Getting sick of him. Same ole crap!
Love your show 👍👍 , Everything you do !!!
Thanks Matt and Dale
Why do the Steelers yr after yr start games miserable? How many yrs does it take to figure this out? 😂😂 good grief this is brutal coaching !
Both New York teams will be interested in Fields.
Hope they bring Warren back and draft a younger guy. There are 12 that can play right away and be decent. Good RB draft. Bad news for Harris. He’s to slow in deciding what hole to hit.
You are right about the need for a great QB to win Super Bowls. That said, the QB doesn’t play defense. The Steelers/Tomlin have lost because the defense has played terrible in the playoffs. They haven’t been competitive much less having a chance to win in the 4th quarter in this playoff losing streak. The common denominator in this streak is Tomlin. I don’t think he needs fired (though I’m not totally against it) but some of your peers have written and are of the opinion that he has too much control over the game plan and he needs to relinquish it to the coordinators.
What’s your opinions on the OL poor play this season? Was it more about injuries, how inexperienced they were/are, lack of talent, or coaching?
Is there a specific FA WR you would like to see them target?
But the QB and offense can certainly help the defense by possessing the ball and scoring. they go hand in hand. I asked Tomlin about the offensive line play. That's something he's going to dive into. Did the young guys hit a wall and wear down? Were undisclosed injuries involved? I don't know.
@ Absolutely, but it’s just so disappointing not to be competitive in these playoff games! For some reason the defense just fails to show up, especially Saturday night! Appreciate the response. I’ve enjoyed listening and watching you and Matt for these past few years. Glad to see you’re doing well. Hope you guys have a great new year! Safe travels to and from the Senior Bowl!
I would be all about those RB out of Michigan or Ohio State.
Love the "Matt the GM" segment.
When a team comes out flat for a playoff game against the division rival, what does that say? What does that say about the team culture? What does that say about the Coach who is in charge of preparation? Do those players even wanna be there? That might be just as embarrassing as getting bullied.
Any chance they move on from Pickens, who by all accounts shows up when he wants to. What does that say to the rest of the team who show up and do the right thing yet the head coach is cool with this punk doing what he wants. Is that good culture? Is that the type of HC that you would want? But hey, let’s go 10-8, achieve nothing, pick in the bottom half of the draft, and do the same thing again and again and again.
By all accounts? I don't know about that. Let's put it this way, if that was such a huge story, why did the people who allegedly saw it wait three weeks before reporting it? And they haven't "done the same thing again and again." They've traded up in the first round twice in the past decade. They had done that twice in the previous 40 years. They traded a first-round draft pick for a player. Hadn't done that since the 1960s. They have spent more money in free agency in the past two years than every before. They've hardly just done the same thing over and over.
Wilson is not perfect, he should remain the bridge quarterback. Fields is not a starting quarterback. Explain to Watt and Heyward that you wanna waste a season "seein what ya got" in Fields. It's less about Wilson, and more about the team being poorly coached and prepared. The Steelers have talent. They are poorly coached. It almost impossible to grade most of the players because of the coaching and preparation.
Hey Dale, listening to Mediocre Mike today, it sounds like they are leaning toward keeping Fields.....i like that idea as long as the OC (whomever that turns out to be) is someone imaginative/creative and can get the most out of him and replicate the offense in Washington...add an RB and a 2nd weapon at WR (either draft or Free Agent, lots of cap room) for him and build an offense to accentuate his strengths and that could be good.....i love Russ but dude is old, less mobile than in his prime, and i think the NFL finally figured out in the final 5 weeks of the season/playoffs what Denver already knew....Here We Go!!!
Fields doesn't throw a great ball ,I'm not sure we have the coaches to develop Fields and for the steelers to have the audacity to think they're better than the Bears at that is kind of funny ...really? Not by that much
I guess I'm going to come back and listen today Dale I wasn't too happy yesterday
Nobody was. But don't take it out on us. That's shooting the messenger. We didn't play a down on Saturday.
I'd just like for my team to know how much I love them, I seen this Super Steeler state, " if you actually watch the game" and as a committed Steeler, I took that to heart, because he's right, being a committed member requires more than just throwing in your 2cents! But, I'd love to be at home watching the games, or better yet, at the stadium, it's well over due, but it's not as easy as it seems, I'm targeted everyday, I refuse to like go into full detail here, just know the battles I have with corruption and learning how miserable people who have gained power are is insane! The corruption is over whelming, I LOVE MY TEAM! Win lose or draw I'ma Steeler! I had a chance to watch it Saturday in LA, but LA didn't have its normal spirit, me not knowing the seriousness of these fires people dieng losing their homes and good memories, on top of the fact, I was having lite PTSD episodes, because as an American, you can be out doing something you love, or even as a tourist, visiting for good times, and a coward can come run you over and buss his rifle at you! So while I was downtown all of that was going through my mind, I did see one proud Steeler, he was waving his towel, he had on all the gear, he was very flee, I just wasn't in spirit, and this season I couldn't really enjoy it the way I wanted to because unfortunately I had to deal with the corrupt ones in our government, banning me from jobs, then sending people on jobs to do devious things, such as try and run me over with tractors,taking pictures of me while I'm working, sending rivals on my jobs etc man, not o make this about me, I just want the guys to know i love em, and im proud of em, although, some players are like weird, like the stats tho, like fr, is mfs getting payed behind the scene's to throw games, i know how conniving this country can be!
We should bring Javon Hardgrave back home.
It's time for Tomlin to move on. The Steelers need to start all over! 10-7 and playoff losses are NOT acceptable! Dan Rooney would not approve. Art seems fine to just rake in the cash. Time to protest with our wallets!!
Everyone is missing the key comment. Tomlin thinks he is capable his words not mine. I think Tomlin is a good leader and probably a decent CEO type but, he is NOT capable of evaluating talent of players , coaches , staff etc. And he needs to be checked on those things. The last two drafts haven't been total disasters but, what about the other 5, Coach selections he doesn't want to hire pros he wants to hire lackeys. Wants to put his hands on offensive and defensive "strategies". That's the problem.
Teryl Austin should already be fired!
Great show. Thanks
28 free agents I'm only bringing back one of them L Roberts we want to build our defense with your toughness grittiness we want players like you
If Tomlin releases Justin Fields he’s cementing his coaching career as a bum.
If a coaching staff can’t work with such a talented young man like Fields , then they need to hang it up forever because they suck !!!!!!
He's not "releasing" anyone. They are all slated to be free agents and have the ability to do what they want. That is what free agency is. The players are free to leave or test the market to see what else is out there.
Let’s thank Tomlin and his “Mickey Mouse” Steelers Club for another mediocre year.
let's start the chant.....fire mike tomlin........fire mike tomlin........fire mike tomlin....that is what got Canada fired.....they would have to do it ......if the chant got louder and louder
23:44 No, you tripping. Dontae and Deshaun coming back next year
What do you guys think of most of the PGH media starting the team should fire Tomlin? I am surprised “reporters” are that up front with their opinion of their subject
Everyone's entitled to their opinion
They kept quite long enough it’s time for Tomlin to go.
So you're gonna speak around the elephant 🐘in the room for the next 12 months huh...
Smh... good greif
Complete and utter failure by the players, coaching staff, GM and ownership. Players can’t focus on task at hand. Coaches out dumb their own selves somehow. GM left the roster out to dry with no real threat options. Owner just is a walking mummy. Has no read on when it’s times to shake things up. AR2 is just an old grandpa that doesn’t care what the kids do. This is a legacy football team that’s standard is winning! Not just being competitive and dying on the branch when playoffs start. I will be very shocked if ownership cannot see how this product is suffering. Ppl aren’t even interested in this team when playoffs start. It’s not even fun to watch them. Who wants to watch the opposing offense pick us apart on the field all game, every game for 17 weeks. Then the fans get the honor of watching the Steelers punt the ball every week all game long. Can we get signs of life out of this franchise please? God forbid they actually plan for the future for once. How long can they keep trying to stumble into success and get away with it?
Thank you
THERE'S NO WAY steelers should bring back russ NO WAY IN HELL he didn't go thro his reads specially over the middle because he can't see over the lineman it wouldn't Matter if randy moss was wide open he can't see it his hole career it's been throwing too the sideline check down or deep ball the only way he sees the middle is if there 20yds or more down the field
He made multiple throws across the middle of the field. One of them was a TD. How did you miss that?
@Wild_D God dude watch the film russ is 5'11 when a QB goes thro their progression reads 1-4 depending on the personal players will be short of 20yds or less cutting across the field he don't see them watch the playoffs game man against ravens watch the first drive he missed wide open players across the middle
@Wild_D I'm not saying he doesn't throw in the middle but it's further down the field
Warren will likely earn 5.2 mil on a second round tender. A very nice bump and well deserved.
That's if they go with the second-round tender. They could also go first right of refusal and it would be $3.1 million and you have the opportunity to match his contract. I can't imagine he would get a massive deal on the open market given the draft class, so that might be the way they go. Then try to work out a long-term deal with him. Or, simply do that from the start.
@ thanks, Dale.
Same old crap. Nothing is going to change until Tomlin leaves. I’ll always be a fan, but there is no hope at all right now. This organization is starting to remind me of the Pirates.
Gotta think clear in your disappointment and pain, Tomlin is what's best for this team with no elite QB, tell me a another team that made the playoffs 3 out the last 4 years with different QBs
Coach Cliche strikes again. He inherited a Superbowl team from Cowher and his time has about run out. There needs to be a new broom. Will Art have the cojobes to do anything about it? If not, we need to protest with our wallets!
He inherited a team that went 8-8 the year before he got here.
Let’s get Travis Hunter! We get a db an wr. Lol
Dak would be a disaster if we traded for him. Do not bail the Cowboys and Browns out.
They literally cut scotty from the team before the ravens game we aren't offering him a contract
He's on the practice squad
Thank you Rooney rule...this is where it gets you. Look around the remaining teams in the playoffs.. Get the picture?
Thanks for showing that you are a racist William McPherson. Remember that about this clown, people.
I find it funny they want to get rid of everybody but somehow keep Herbig when he hasn’t NOTHING.
He's a valuable backup who is still just 26. To say he's done "nothing" is not true at all. He has started 30 career games, including two for the Steelers in 2023. He can play both guard spots and center. That's not invaluable. That's the kind of veteran depth that is needed on teams.
I meant he’s done nothing with the Steelers not referring to what he’s done with other teams. After all these years he started 2 games just 2 and that’s worth keeping but other guys that contributed way more get the boot smh cmon.
LOL! Stick the head in the sand, 4 teams played 3 games in 11 days, squeelers was the only team that sucked sweaty donkeyballs!
They also were the only one that played three teams of the talent level of the Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs, two of which were on the road. Context matters.
Russell Wilson i can't agree with. Great QB but we need return of the quick slant..he can't throw that
Honestly, realistically, optimistically… here is what the Steelers can do.
Invest in Fields and moneyball the roster like the Eagles and Ravens. The eagles and ravens are where the Steelers want to be, in the modern NFL. Don’t shoot for a franchise QB like Mahomes that is lucky 1 of 1 crap shoot, besides the Steelers don’t lose enough to draft there, and trading up to get is the only option but it costs resources the Steelers don’t have… so…
Draft well for 2025 investing in CB, NT, DE, OT, RB. Get more offensive help like WR via Free agency and improve the roster around Fields.
Look at the two best teams in the league BAL and PHI, the Steelers have their own underdeveloped version of Hurts and Lamar.
Fields has a stronger arm than Hurts and he is faster than Lamar. He’s not an 2X MVP, he doesn’t have the reads of Lamar, he is also younger than Lamar and Hurts…
Develop fields and take every play you can from the Eagles and ravens offense. Run their offensive scheme and plan with your own wrinkles and see what happens.
It’s all right in front of you.
This is an elite RB class… the opportunity is right in front of you.
Straight up question, guys. I understand the argument against drafting a RB in the first, but if Jeanty's there at 21 with his talent, are you taking him?
Would depend on who else is there. But I'd certainly consider it.
Blah blah purple cats dont pooh yellow poo blah blah
I got a question for Dale and Matt Williamson
My question is did you guys know about George Pickens showing up late on the Christmas Day game can you truthfully answer that question ❓ it's time to get rid of his ass
I was on the field pre-game doing TV for KDKA. Didn't notice anything. Also don't know that the "report" was true. Can't say one way or the other.
@dalelolley4100 I mean I hope it's not true but I have also heard he has been laid to meetings and late to practices it's not settling a good precedence I think it's time to move on from that joker he's not AB 😂
Finally a podcast that is objective. We aren’t as bad as other teams that don’t win at all. Everyone is so quick to bash or to fire. Young Oline, 2 QBs, blah blah. Still have faith we will get it done. Weren’t most saying we were in a rebuild? Go root for another team if they pissed you off so much. 😂
Steelers Nation fans spend mega hard earned money paying for everything related to support the team, more so than fans of most NFL franchises. We're investors with every right to start demanding results and voice our opinions.
If russ was so good he still B A Seahawk and Another hall-of-fame coach Sean Payton FIRST WOULDN'T BENCHED RUSS (2) COULDN'T WAIT 2 CUT OR TRADE RUSS
They benched him because of the injury guarantee.
Lots of players have injury guarantees. Only bench the ones you want to cut without the guarantee kicking in.
@@superstees Yes, they were going to cut him. But they also benched him so the injury guarantees wouldn't kick in. Both can be true.
@@dalelolley4100 yeah he was benched so he wouldn't get hurt but ether way he wasn't good enough for Sean Payton because russ reads wr1 maybe no2 then he's trying too move or run Sean was on him over it all season because Russ can't see over the line of scrimmage with in so many yds I'm not knocking the guy if he was still good he still be a Seahawk & broncos
With JF we have a higher floor & ceiling Arthur Smith is a good OC he made RT great and help lead titans too AFC CHAMPIONSHIP game beating the brakes off ravens/Lamar in process pushed chiefs 2 the wire but it's his first yr here the o line takes time 2 develop Broderick Jones should be at his org spot LT most R young Tomlin wants 2 run use play-action str def with JF RPO makes us more dynamic& explosive
What about trying to get Robert Saleh as DC
I’d rather keep Russ and bring in Jameis. He’s a good backup. Good attitude. Like Russ.
Don't trust Smith, he's all about his playbook, early in the season Pickens would be on the sideline for TE set
A five game losing streak capped by a horrific showing in the playoffs, which continues a historic stretch of playoff showings going back nearly a decade. One could argue this is rock bottom in the modern era for this team. At least I hope this is the bottom. Lots of blame to go around for this season. Who got better throughout the year? Who’s to blame for players literally running the wrong way on some plays in week 19? When the eagles had their skid to end last year there were significant changes. Where do we go from here?
You obviously don't recall the '80s, which was part of the "modern era." Or 1998 and 1999. those were "rock bottom." It wasn't pretty. As for players running the wrong way and such, how about placing the blame where it belongs, on the players who did not know their assignments? These are professional players. If they don't know their assignments, that is on them.
I remember all of those times quite well. I also know that neither Noll nor Cowher had gone this long without a playoff win. We’re those times worse? Maybe. But it’s arguable. Is that where we should be with this roster? When’s the last time you watched a steeler game and been amazed by the game plan on either side? And ok you first round pick has actually regressed in two years I suppose part is on him. But who drafted him? Who’s developing him?
Back to my original question, what changes? And what’s ’the standard’?
We will never win a playoff game under Mike Tomlin or art Smith his offense is completely outdated and not up to snuff with the top dogs let's be honest
I wont lie, I wanna keep Tomlin, but Arthur Smith needs to leave this team NOW.
@@silentstarproductions2469How do you want to keep Tomlin? This has been the same story forever. First it was Haley’s fault, then Fichtner, then Canada, now Smith. Why does the head coach get a pass for underperforming offenses year after year while his guys take the fall?
@@silentstarproductions2469 keep Tomlin, get rid of Teryl Austin and Arthur Smith. Try and get Mike Munchak back for O-Line coach!
@@silentstarproductions2469 Tomlin is the root of the problems
@@silentstarproductions2469, What's your perspective on why to keep Tomlin?
It’s not Mike it’s not having a good qb
