What would you fix first??

**Raleigh Steel** · 12-27-2012, 10:07 AM

the running game needs fixed. whether it's the design, the blocking scheme, the o-line or a combo of everything. even if we are a pass first team, we still need to run the ball effectively. during the BA years, we didn't run the ball well. in the games where we did, we were our most efficient in scoring.

second, the conditioning has to improve. as a strength and conditioning coach, i know not all injuries can be prevented but a lot can though better conditioning.

third, the d-line needs to improve their play. the steelers have to win in the trenches and they aren't. if they can everything else will take care of themselves.

Thanks Nol, it was late. I didnt really put Spence in there because of Tomlins stuborness to play rookie lb's.

That statement is as dumb as the constant whine about needing a conditioning coach

I actually get the felling that Spence would have played.

But yeah, Tomlin is very stubborn about playing rookies, or 2nd year guys, or 3rd year guys. . . maybe by the 4th year they could get a snap or two. This is one of the big problems on the defense. When we have guys go down, the back ups are unpreparred to step in because they never get any time in the games.

Correction on YOUR spelling of "coreection" is correction

Yea, you got my point, I should have said ANY rookies. I forgot because of Adams playing this year and DD. Yes, Tomlin is stubborn as hell giving any rookies reps. I wish Tomlin would play his 1st and 2nd round guys more when they get drafted. I can understand the later round picks, but damn, dont wait 3 years down the road only to find out that they can't play in this legue.
