Chris Long, in response in reaction to Najee’s comments about the predictability of the offense, said what we all know. Tomlin and his coaching staff have not designed an offensive game plan to take advantage of any of the talent on the roster, to develop a winning QB, or to win games in the playoffs.
He went on to describe how obvious it is that opposing defenses know what’s coming when the Steelers snap the ball. It’s clear as day. Nothing about this offense is designed to push the ball downfield, and it must be frustrating the players on offense and defense.
Chris Long is one of the guys I actually listen to. He is a big fan of Mike Tomlin and has always praised him and how the Steelers do things. This year he has been more critical and honest about Tomlin and the way the Steelers try to win games. It’s telling that even the most staunch Tomlin defenders have gone quiet on him
