Definitely too severe imo. Just fine Tomlin and move on.

That's too much. They don't even know if it was intentional or not

Absurd. A fine is more than enough. Better only be a 7th. I will be irate.

Like I've said the whole time...That was a classless move that I have never witnessed a coach do before. The Returner said it interfered with him. Taking a draft pick is harsh but I think a precedent needs to be made.

Make them lose a pick, but not a high pick. I say a 6th... Tomlin should also be fined 6 digits. He CLEARLY, IMO, did it on purpose. It looked like he was going to trip Jacoby and then he chickened out.

It was pretty blatant.. Watch the way he looks over his shoulder. He could have moved EASILY in time. I agree with him losing his team a pick, it was a classless act and should be penalized so. Should the steelers lose a 1st 2nd or 3rd round pick? No definitely not, but a 4th or 5th IMO is justified. Cry all you want as fans of the steelers but your coach acted like a shit head!
I am a Tomlin fan normally so this bothers me a lot that he would do this.

This is bullcrap if it happens. The Jets didn't lose a Draft pick when Sal Alosi did his shit, which was infinitely more blatant than what Tomlin did. There is no way the Steelers should lose a Draft pick. Alosi got fined only $25K. There is also the fact that what Tomlin may or may not have done didn't impact the play. Jones barely reacted and Allen would have tackled him anyway. If the NFL decides to "make an example" of the Steelers like NFL.com says they could, then that is just more complete bullshit.

Sal Alosi was a conditioning coach. Mike Tomlin is a head coach. Steelers deserve to lose a draft pick, and Tomlin deserves a 6 figure fine.
