Steelers Mike Tomlin threatens changes after loss to Texans Hell yeah we gotta make some

Blog Article

The Steelers were expected to beat the Texans on the road in Week 4 but they didn't come particularly close to doing so.Houston thrashed Pittsburgh in a 30-6 blowout that saw the Steelers' offensive woes show up in full force. However, rookie C.J. Stroud also worked hard to make the typically strong Steelers defense look helple s as well, as the Texans moved the ball at Xavier Crawford Jersey will during the matchup.The Texans were clearly the better side on Sunday, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin knows it. That's part of why he gave such a strong response when asked whether the team needed to contemplate making changes moving forward."Hell yeah we gotta make some changes," Tomlin told reporters during his news conference. "That was an ugly product we put out there today, so we're not going to do the same things and hope for a different outcome."MORE: Indeed, taking that approach would be the definition of insanity. But what might Pittsburgh's changes be? Tomlin declined to addre s those in-depth after the lo s."We'll put together a plan this week in preparation," he said.Even so, it's easy to gue s what those changes could entail. The best bet is that Tomlin will target the team's stagnant offense as Pittsburgh tries to find some semblance of a rhythm on that side of the ball.Notably, offensive coordinator Matt copyright has come under fire. Steelers fans have unleashed "Fire copyright" chants during the 2023 season as Pittsburgh is on pace to be a bottom-10 offense for a third consecutive season under copyright's watch.Below is a look at just how bad the offense has been under his watch:YearYards per gameScoring offense2021315.4 (23rd)20.2 (21st)2022322.6 (23rd)18.1 (26th)2023263.0 Artie Burns Jersey (29th)15.5 (28th)That said, Tomlin hasn't fired any of his offensive coordinators in-season since joining the Steelers. So, short of a change of heart or an arrangement that pa ses off play-calling to another member of Tomlin's staff copyright seems likely to stay entrenched in his role.MORE:As such, the other major change that could be made is at quarterback. This one comes more out of nece sity than anything else, as Kenny Pickett suffered a knee injury that knocked him out of the game against the Texans.Still, benching Pickett and giving backup Mitch Rodney Adams Jersey Trubisky a chance could spark the offense. Pickett has struggled to efficiently move the ball as Pittsburgh's starter this year. He has hit some downfield shot plays, but his pa ser rating of80.2 ranks 25th in the league among 34 qualified pa sers and he is graded 31st among 35 qualified quarterbacks by .There's no guarantee that Trubisky will be better than Pickett, but at this point, Tomlin has an excuse to see if he is. That, at the very least, is worth a shot to try to revive a unit that was supposed to take a big step forward in 2023.But even if the Steelers do make some moves to try to fix their offense, they might not be able to accomplish that goal in-season. If they can't, one can expect that Pittsburgh will spend the 2024 offseason revamping its coaching staff and adding to its offensive personnel to try to fix that unit.
