HE can't let player's go on talking to the media about how they want to change the playcalling and personnel on the field.<BR/><BR/>This definitely gets FWP a demerit from Tomlin. What does FWP gain by saying this stuff to the media? Is BA going to see the light if he reads it in the paper? This should stay internal to the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-24397095754072336722008-12-12T12:04:00.000-05:002008-12-12T12:04:00.000-05:00adamg,Your comments are dead on. I truly believe ...adamg,<BR/><BR/>Your comments are dead on. I truly believe in Tomlin's intelligence. He got the job in part by keeping things stable. Now we are starting to see some strains on offense. I believe if Tomlin wants Arians gone after the season, it will be done. Tomlin has a lot more equity as a coach going into his 3rd year with 2 division championships than he did as an untested, unknown commodity. But then again, winning cures all evils, and if the Steelers make it/win the Super Bowl I don't think we'll hear too much more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-67712355659247817942008-12-12T10:08:00.000-05:002008-12-12T10:08:00.000-05:00The offensive lineman have made similar comments, ...The offensive lineman have made similar comments, though more low key than Parker's, this season, too. They want to be asked to play smash mouth football and seem to be just as frustrated with the plays as FWP.<BR/><BR/>I agree there's some tension that Tomlin will have to resolve in the off-season. One the one hand, you have BR, who appears to like things the way they are with 30-40 throws a game, and Arians who is accomodating that and on the other hand you have Tomlin who always says how much he believes in the run game. Tom Coughlin has a pass happy OC in Kevin Gilbride yet the Giants play a power football offense. Tomlin needs to do the same and tell his QB and OC what HE wants, not what THEY want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-44305685771886311122008-12-12T09:26:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:26:00.000-05:00I have been critical of the design and game planni...I have been critical of the design and game planning. As for Tomlin's abilities to handle players and keep people motivated & their focus on the big picture, I think he is phenomenal. That being said, you know there has to be some tension related to the ineffectiveness of the running game, both on the staff level & the player level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-56548746778200234802008-12-12T09:13:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:13:00.000-05:00Let's just win on Sunday.Let's just win on Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-56589315490842179682008-12-12T00:36:00.000-05:002008-12-12T00:36:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-75325696597397376732008-12-11T22:00:00.000-05:002008-12-11T22:00:00.000-05:00No surprise here.
