Since he's the cr�me de la cr�me of coaches, why
not peek into his mind (or atleast his way of thinking):
- Play Haynes at RB, Taylor/Townsend at CB, Hope/Polamalu at S, and
Haggans/Jackson at LOLB (gotta know what you've got).
- Start an offensive line of from left to right: Faneca, Vincent, Okobi,
Simmons, Smith/Ross/Fordham.
- Inform Maddox that his contract will not be restructured in the
offseason.� He is signed for 3 more
years, and if he has a problem then he should let Parcells know immediately. �If there were a problem, then Batch/St.
Pierre would get the call for the remainder of the season.� I would be surprised if there is a problem
though, because the Steelers would have the rights to Maddox for 3 years and
you would have to make a lot of commission sales on insurance to make nearly a
million per year.
- Inform Bettis that he will need to report to a minicamp "weigh-in"
at 245lbs, and oh yeah it doesn't matter if the 'burgh media reports that
Bettis is "in the best shape of his career".� If he makes the weight, he is permitted to
tryout for a position (presumably competing against an early round draft
choice) providing that he has restructured his contract to the vet
minimum.� If he doesn't make the weight,
he'll be a salary cap casualty.
- Tell Plaxico Burress that he's got 4 games and all of next season to set the
world on fire with his talent.� At the
end of the road is a potential hefty payday by some team (though probably not
the Steelers).� So it's up to Plax to
decide how badly he wants it.
- Tell Ward to keep doing what he's been doing, and that it hasn't gone
unnoticed.
- Tell Alexander that his coaching skills won't be necessary on the field
anymore.
- Tell Gildon that he'll be a salary cap casualty, so he's going to be
"Keyshawned" for the remainder of the season.
- Inform both Lewis and Mularkey that their jobs are hanging in the air, and
they best figure out how to use the young talent if they wish to remain in
their positions next season.� And the
same goes for each and every position coach.
