I don’t know if I’d have cut Desmond King…while Gunner Olszewski and Chandon Sullivan are still on my roster acting like sleeper agents trying to get me fired. I blame Belichick.
I would start Broderick Jones over Dan Moore (only someone who has been blackmailed would start Dan Moore at this point) (I’m not saying Mike Tomlin had sex with Dan Moore’s relative (mom, sister, etc.) but the rumors are circulating)
I would move Joey Porter Jr. to a starting outside CB spot (no joke here, I will slice someone if this doesn’t happen soon) (by slice I mean offer them a glass of orange slice) (poisoned) (in a video game)
I would then move Pat Pete or Levi Wallace to the nickel spot
I would then move Minkah Fitzpatrick back to where he’s best at, a deep 3rd Free Safety
I would tell my offensive coordinator not to show his hand on run plays by having heavy sets being what we run out of (Steelers are playing 70’s football and not the kind we like in Pittsburgh, the kind that says we’re gonna run it, stop it if you can, oh you can? well we’re gonna keep doing it anyways)
I would run more mesh and post patterns (can even be on the same play)
When Muth comes back I would try to get him more involved than he was
I would run my big 6’7 TE down the seam more and throw high points (like classic Madden cheese)
I would run out of spread sets to help Najee and Warren
I would up the amount of play action I use (especially shot plays to Pickens b/c he is OP)
I would stop with the zone run concepts that our o-line is bad at and run more traps/powers. Things that we saw done well in the Texans game. (only an idiot or an insane person does the same thing over and over and expects different results)
I would steal plays from the 49ers, Dolphins and others and use them in my scheme (no lawsuits please)
I would use Keeanu Benton more and rotate my edges a little more to keep TJ/Highsmith a bit fresher plus get reps for my young guy Herbig. (you ever had a TJ fresh off the tree? Tastes like heaven)
These are just a few of the things I would do coming out of the bye
