or. or. how about. as the head coach. YOU do something about it tomlin?
People acting like Tomlin is supposed to to the media exactly what he talked to Diontae about. Just because you want answers doesn’t mean Tomlin is going to throw his own player under the bus.
I feel like people forget about the mental aspect of the game. Both on and off the field.
For starters, that WAS a catch. He had control with 3 steps. They got robbed on that one. Tomlin says he didn’t challenge because they couldn’t see the replay. It just is what it is.
I get that DJ was upset, but FFS, you DON’T take it out on the team. If anything, that should’ve been fuel for him to “get it back” so to speak. He’s just too whiney & checks out mentally to easily.
Also, the guy he was supposed to be blocking, but was too busy pouting to block, is the one who recovered the fumble, and got like a 15 yard run out of it. If DJ had actually been blocking, that dude NEVER gets that fumble recovery.
Lastly, that terrible look he has in his locker room interview, with the “I was like blocking… or whatever lie, followed by a freaking eye-roll, was just a slap in the face to everyone else. No, you weren’t blocking, it’s literally on video you fucking nipple head.
I hope Tomlin made him run about 10 straight suicides.
