He is an excellent WR when it comes to catching the ball. But he does not play for the team with no desire to block. Like if a RB doesn’t step up to pick up a blitz the QB won’t have time to throw him a pass. Everyone has to do their part on the play.PIckens flies past everybody and scores a TD. Oh my.
It's not like there isn't tape on Rudolph. He's started 10 games in the NFL.Backup QB matchups are impossible to predict. if you can’t stop the run you’re probably screwed. If you fall behind you’re probably screwed. Or sometimes the opposing D has no clue how to prepare for you because you aren’t supposed to play in the NFL and you’re fine.
So far not looking too good for Cinci on any of those fronts
It’s tough because his QB situation is so brutal they should be way way worse. Feels weird to punish him for wildly over exceedingPittsburgh is going to go 9-8 again and accomplish absolutely nothing.
Mike Tomlin is a damn good coach but at some point one has to wonder if change is needed just for the sake of change.
The QB situation largely isn't on him. But a lot of other things are. The playing down to competition, the fact his teams always appear to be unprepared/undisciplined (look at how Pickens and Johnson have been in the news the last month for giving up on plays/being a problem) and the fact he hangs on to coordinators for too long. First Dick LeBeau, then Todd Haley, then it was Matt Canada.It’s tough because his QB situation is so brutal they should be way way worse. Feels weird to punish him for wildly over exceeding
