Zero chance I pay Watt 40mm/yr. League has figured him out, he lacks the athleticism to move off the left side, he’s already 30 years old at a position that demands juice. His game won’t age like Heyward’s. He’s a 10-sack/yr guy at this point. If he gets any kind of raise, he’s overpaid

Spent a few days on a Gene Hackman bender. Crimson Tide, Unforgiven, Hoosiers, Royal Tenenbaums (my favorite), French Connection… the guy was a force of nature for decades. RIP

We either settle for tyranny or begin a revolution. The billionaire villains have done us a huge favor, removing attachment to governance that couldn’t survive in this AI / algo-driven world. Now we get to start again from scratch… if we’re willing to fight (starting now) 🫡🇺🇸🌏

Tomlin owning Senior Bowl is part of why he’s valuable. The ppl skills are the biggest part of his value proposition. Problem is that ppl like Howie Roseman exist, and their intellect & top down strategy is more meaningful than anything a HC can do. Art Rooney apparently doesn’t understand this

More than ever, if you’re still engaging with social platforms, plz upvote / support good people. Even if they’re annoying. Even if they’re wrong sometimes about trivial things like sports or games or whatever you’re into. If they’re good ppl, they deserve your support 🌏🫡🌏

Related to my column yesterday. They do not want you to have access to accurate information. They want you stewing in galaxy-brain alternate-reality bullshit, because when you have no way to verify the truth, your emotions will become your worldview, and they can manipulate those.

Dan Campbell had a top-10 QB, the top seed, a home playoff game, an elite roster, a great / fwd thinking FO, the best OC in the world. Tomlin has had none of those other things for many years. How do we think Campbell would fare with a bottom-third QB, a road playoff game, a meh roster/FO / OC?

The genius ppl skills, leader dude is not the 5-10 yr plan guy. It would be insane for a Fortune 500 CEO to assign his best seller to also dictate macro strategy. Different skillsets. Wildly different roles w/different backgrounds & priorities. Let Tomlin do HC stuff, hire a FO killer for the rest

The Steelers are losing in the off-seasons. The smartest people in the league running LAR, PHI, DET, BAL, etc, have an openness to data & innovation we haven’t seen in PIT. Is that stuff rly supposed to be on the damn HC to manage? Waaay different skill sets. PIT needs a strategy layer in their FO

As long as Rooney pinches pennies & allows his HC to direct strategy, the Steelers are doomed. The HC remains old-school in the age of AI, and the owner seemingly has given the keys to the franchise to that guy lol. Rooney is the problem

We’ve reached the ‘gotta be open to moving around’ stage of Watt’s decline. He resisted it for so long b/c he’s more explosive & talented from the left side. Doesn’t move like he did a few years ago, and without elite mvmt & get-off he’s just a good, smart player. A shame they’ve wasted his prime

Nobody wants to hear this but the problem with the Steelers is ownership. Their front office model is antiquated. They’re being outcompeted by smarter ppl in football ops way more than rival HCs. Any HC in PIT will need help from an engaged owner who’s willing to spend meaningfully in football ops

How to fix the Steelers - Poach top analytics ppl & invest heavily in data science / AI & VR tools - Hire a Strategy Chief who can hire/fire all coaches -Surround Tomlin with elite data ppl / coaches / coordinators -Tomlin’s ppl skills are super valuable. Support him & address his blind spots

Biggest easy button for Steelers - getting buy-in on improved strength training. Jones, Freiermuth, Seamalu all look soft & squishy. This kind of thing is totally within their control. If PIT has guys that are uninterested in maxing out their frames, they should prolly move on from them, imo

Enjoyed Najee’s energy, GP’s circus acts. Zero chance Najee’s back & I’d definitely move GP if the market is there. Khan also has to consider moving on from Minkah, Watt, PQ. Fautanu is the guy at RT, but Jones has shown nothing to suggest he’s a starter in this league. Tough choices ahead

: Whispering into the void : The Steelers opened at o/u 7.5 wins this season in Vegas. They weren’t very talented, and had the worst QB in the playoffs. Tomlin overachieved (again) and has become a victim of his own success

Went back to ‘Pyre’ this week. Had last played it at launch. Still a brilliant game, utterly replayable. Wish I could invest in Supergiant. Love everything they do

(They’re paying Pat F, imo, because Colbert’s final few drafts had very few other guys worth extending. Nice guy, league avg dude who seems reliable. Not a difference maker)
