Pittsburgh — This week, a number of former players as well as numerous television and radio celebrities have
criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers “way” for the current state of the organization’s traditions—or lack thereof. Wide
receiver George Pickens is receiving a lot of backlash, even though Mike Tomlin is largely to blame. Perhaps this
backlash isn’t entirely justified.
Pickens asked everyone what they would like him to feel during losses as he opened up about his feelings over the
past two weeks. Pickens’s sideline rants were problematic because they weren’t “solution-oriented,” according to
Tomlin, who addressed the issue earlier this week.
“We’re all frustrated, but we have to manage our frustration in a professional and mature way and when it’s not done
that way, it’s not necessarily pushing us towards solutions,” Tomlin stated.
Pickens referred to his limited capabilities when asked what he could do to assist transform these defeats into
victories.
“I’m not sure. I take it you guys are at practice? To put it simply, I hope to see things along those lines. I mean, I can’t
really produce that way when it comes to running 3- or 5-yard routes,” Pickens remarked.
It everything began to make much more sense at that point. When it comes to his grievances, Pickens ought to be
more solution-focused, but perhaps the Steelers ought to be more solution-focused in their attempts to incorporate
their finest offensive player.
As much culpability as there is for Pickens’ frustration, the Steelers should bear just as much—if not more—for
blatantly squandering their best opportunity to improve their offensive performance.
As much as everyone would like to, Pickens is not to blame this time.
