welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin coward podcast go on hit the Subscribe button there you go right down there if you want to be among the first to hear my weekly takes NFL college football more right there sometimes John the league has changed so much and we've seen defensive coaches belich Pete Caroll really look outdated the Pittsburgh Steelers now we we have to have this conversation about Mike Tomlin pretty early this year Russell Wilson had five series one first down they can't get the snap right with Justin Fields this offensive line still a mess doesn't get a great push um now we can keep blaming Russell Wilson but if you go back to last year let's be fair once Hackett left and Payton took over Russell wasn't the primary issue last year limited yes the defense was egregiously bad is I look at Pittsburgh right now and they have too many good players to be pathetic offensively and I mean Russell Wilson's been in this league a long time he can't pick up first downs first downs when does the Mike Tomlin I mean everybody likes him it's like Pete Caroll Pete Carrol's got Super Bowls too Mike's got him but when I watch that team I'm like they just feel like tone deaf offensively yeah to me I thought it was a time for a divorce last year you know Andy Reed and the field Philadelphia Eagles got a divorce how'd that work out for both Super Bowl for the Eagles Andy's won three everyone benefited yeah it doesn't feel like anyone's ever on the hot seat in Pittsburgh I'm out I I'm out this year I I think this is the year that it finally kind of comes to roost and they don't go over 500 that the offense the offensive line was getting smoked Russell's a a shell of what he used to be you know a guy that's lost his confidence Fields kind of is what he is I mean it's just it's it's carbon C of what we saw last year they they the moment Big Ben started falling off a cliff and listen they got Luck's the wrong word because they drafted him and he became a star and physically at the end it was ugly and he was not the same guy obviously threw out his arm they drafted Kenny pick it in the first round that that's embarrassing like to me this isn't embarrassing what they're doing they got Russell for a million dollars and traded nothing for Justin Fields it's kind of desperate it's cheap the Kenny pick it in the first round I I don't know if you had a chance I don't blame you if you did not watch any of that Eagles Patriot uh preseason game Thursday night not he's not very good yeah and even if he is a quote unquote NFL player he's the type guy you draft historically in like the fourth fifth round yeah same building you always talk about this Pittsburgh they feel some loyalty there it kind of gets weird he wasn't even remotely close to a first round talent in the history of the league obviously we got a little quarterback inflation but they've had a quarterback issue for the last four or five years and this year I think it's going to be worse than last year even though these guys are more talented because how polarizing are these two individuals I mean Russell's one of the biggest stars of the last 15 years he's become a lightning rod and Fields has this like cult-like following and I listen I'm the one saying you should throw him in because at least he can run around and he did that yesterday but you can't depend I mean how many games last year did they win because like TJ watt got a sack fumble touchdown or you know weird happens they plan a ton of close Gam games I think this is the year that it just doesn't work now for them that's not three or four wins but seven eight wins in Pittsburgh feels like a disaster does it not yeah well Tomlin signed an extension I'm just saying that if Andy Reid Bill bich and Pete Carol can be let go that um and I don't think Pittsburgh will but we've got to be honest about this there there is some I've been on this for like four years if you go to the best offensive lines in football and the worst the bottom is overwhelmingly defensive coaches now the Giants is a dra in issue um so de ball gets a pass there but it's there is something about offensive coaches and the ability to remake reboot and develop offensive lines when's the last bad Packer offensive line they've had offensive coaches um I mean New England right now atrocious offensive line see I think one of the reasons Pete Carroll got asked is they just felt he the talent was better than the production but I watched Pittsburgh right now and there are things I I've always said Tomlin reminds me a little a peak Carol he's a pro he's got trophies he'd get a job in you know if Pete was 15 years younger he'd get another job been hired last cycle yeah also Tomlin is the greatest lock to be a great broadcaster I think Fox would not hire him in 15 minutes Fox would H he'd get a lot of money in the open market as a coach someone would pay him $15 million the Eagles if they had you know he would get he'd be interviewing for the top jobs but I do think the culture in Pittsburgh to me feels outdated all their money is on the defensive side they can't develop an offensive line they're they still draft and develop a wide receiver pass rusher defensive line linebacker at a very elite level free agency they're not biggest Spenders but they'll go out and make a deal I kind of just feel like when I watch Pittsburgh I'm like this just feels broken it's not they don't they don't know quarterbacks they don't no quarterbacks well New England is not only broken they have a talent scarcity Pittsburgh's got players I'll argue that all day long they've got players I mean they got one of the best players in the league Minka Fitzpatrick's a stud they got a quarterback problem and they don't know how to identify it Mason Rudolph Kenny picket I mean they were playing games with duck Hodes three or four years ago yeah I mean he's dating a country star selling real estate now these two guys this has got debacle written all over it uh and listen to me Tomlin sometimes you just need a fresh start he's also being let down by like you know the front office is drafting these players too and they just had a front office turnover Kevin Colbert who is a scout scout I would say he's pretty good at his job and they kind of pivoted to kind of this modern day the cap guy you know I I'm just it's it's not going to work now one thing they got going for him Burrow's health is a major concern yeah he struggles to practice four straight days I think he has to take the fourth day the uh Cleveland Browns while their roster is excellent and Kevin ston fany is a good offensive coach their quarterback situation could be a debacle as well right deshun Watson has not been good and the Ravens just are they going to be as good as they were last year you lose Mike McDonald you lose some players in free agency but they're they're still good but you just factor in the other two teams they have pretty big question marks at quarterback one being health and one being deshun Watson might be the most overpaid player in the history of the league hey football fans if you're looking to dominate your fantasy league next year then we've got the channel for you from the NFL draft through training camp in week one to Super Bowl Sunday today fantasy pros is the home of football content you cannot afford to miss subscribe today your team will be in Championship form in no time if I had a take and I know you know I've used this example before John and you as a scout probably know this better than anybody I have talked about before um Seahawk Camp was in cheny Washington where I went to college and I've talked about before seeing Eugene Robinson from Colgate his first practice with the Seahawks and literally knowing I mean I had people around me and and I could name them I went to college with him saying holy he is lighting up Steve larett who is that Colgate who who at that time I don't even know if I'd ever seen an Ivy League game on TV you know this is back in like 1982 it doesn't take long to see certain things right here's here's a take bonick is got a better arm than I think people think I think he's more cut and athletic than people think I noticed this when I saw him live on the field against Utah that game everything went Oregon's way and I know it's preseason John but I've watched Bo Knicks and I'm like oh Caleb defensive coach Drake May defensive coach Jaden defensive coach JJ McCarthy hurt penck may not play Hot take B Knicks is the best quarterback this year out of the crop I think Caleb will be better because of what he's dealing with but I think Bo Knicks is going to shut a lot of people up really fast I mean it's already inevitably starter for week one he's got a coach I would say who a wellestablished very rich guy who's already won a Super Bowl who kind of has this like Back Against The Wall chip on his shoulder right now yeah because that year last year was probably not fun and is anything I would say nothing has a chance to age better faster than booting Russell out for $80 million and selecting this guy and let's face it leading up to the draft before he inevitably picked him everyone was going oh Shawn Peyton wants B Knicks that's terrible that's awful you can't trap this guy that high this is crazy this is stupid and it's like no I mean this guy has a pretty good idea he was one of the rare guys that was all in on Mahomes uh he liked Drew Brees once upon a time when not everyone was lining at the door you know so I I would say that you have an offensive coach is just a huge advantage and a guy that can develop quarterbacks and a guy who can call the place that to me my biggest thing is not offensive and defensive coaches it's do you call the place do you dictate 50% of the game and obviously as an offensive coach not only are you calling the plays you're controlling the quarterback then essentially and the pace of the game you know defense is much more physicality there's stuff out of your control even great defense get speed sometime but as an offensive play caller you can completely control the game and beside that couple year stretch which was bad when they I think Rob Ryan was their defensive coordinator in New Orleans and they were going seven- n even though their offense was setting records when they've had good defenses they dominated you know they they were consistent 10 to 12 win team in the NFL that's what Shawn Peyton's record is when the defense is solid so if their defense is solid which it was the second half of last year and clearly I I I think removing Russell Wilson and this is why I'm out on the Steelers that that thing that you take in is more than just that Miss thir down throw it's all this other stuff which In fairness I I don't know how much Russell brings it it's just there now it's just part of the deal yeah and I you remove that you get this young hungry guy you get this chip on the shoulder coach the Raiders nameing Gardner mchu that they're not going to be any good the Chargers just going to have some injury problems and their depth is going to be very questionable yeah is it is it crazy to think Denver could finish second in this division no he clearly likes this team they like their rookie class they got some good wide receivers watching them play I mean I don't think it's inconceivable they go nine and eight B Knicks played with Troy Franklin Troy averaged 105 yards per game 14 touchdowns they played together in college like think about this he's 24 Drake May's 21 offensive coach I I think between Mims courland Sutton and Troy Franklin they have a good tight end two capable backs I'm like that's that's at Le least average to slightly above average I mean look at Dallas Cowboys they're completely dependent on CD lamb staying healthy or they're screwed so to to me I look at Denver and I'm like every single year it was Houston last year there's a pop team and I'm watching Bo Knicks and I've had a couple of texts with Shawn pyton I it's it's not lost on me that a former NFL quarterback uh that I was talking to in the building at Fox several months ago said Just remember Drake Caleb and Jaden have defensive coaches he goes I don't care how talented they are he and this this guy came into the league years ago and had a defensive coach he said it matters like you're nervous you don't you you know he said a defensive coach I mean Mark Sanchez told me years and years ago it's like you know the reality is an offensive coach you you talk at night you text you know you're texting defensive coaches think differently their buddies are defensive coaches their favorite players bel's favorite player is Lawrence Taylor it's not Tom Brady yeah so I think um I I just think Denver's better pfff has their personnel near the bottom of the league and I'm like ah why why' pton Manning love Adam gase because he could text him at one o'clock in the morning and he texts him right back may be talking football these offensive guy I saw with Andy Reid sleeps like three hours a night he's just in the Whiteboard just these guys it's like a creative the mentality is it's night and day different now some of the defensive guys are just such natural leaders the aggressiveness kind of it's a different personality but yeah I mean I I think the offensive play caller is number one guy you'd ever want running especially in this modern-day football uh but who are who are the options for pop teams right it have to be a team a non AFC West team right not the Chiefs so it'd be the Raiders the Chargers or the Broncos I think most people are out on the Raiders when you watch their quarterback situation I I listen I I'm I'm a Jim Harbaugh die hard but they just got a ton of injuries they got a guys that have always injured that that makes me nervous their quarterback just got out of a boot uh the the Jets who we talked about I would say are pretty uh are walking a very very tight line that could could shatter in front of our eyes immediately the Steelers I got coming back to Earth they were already a playoff team same with the same with the uh Cleveland Browns because their quarterback situation just scares the crap out of me I I think it's wide open for a team like the Broncos to kind of sneak up on people for sure [Music]
