"keep on shoveling" = please don't fire me for being incompetent.

The overall response from the media is that his press conference was extremely underwhelming.

Mike Petraglia @Trags
Duke Tobin takeaways from 63-minute presser Friday:
* No changes coming in scouting department.
* No changes in way ownership, personnel and coaching staff work. "It's all collaborative.... This is Mr. Brown's team."
* What needs to change? "Our record."
* In short, Tobin believes tweaks can be made in the process of offseason planning. Tobin and ownership feel no need to change the personnel department making those plans.
* Emphasis in offseason on finding defensive linemen
* Emphasis on finishing games and "winning games we found ways to lose."
* Must get breakdowns at critical moments "out of our DNA"
* Convinced "growing pains" of young LBs will pay off.
* "We're disheartened for (fans) feeling disheartened."
* Tobin insists "there's no comfort zone" for the front office personnel, himself included.
* Open to extending DJ Turner and Dax Hill this season. "They are cornerstones. We need more stones."

Must be nice to have the most secure job in all of the sports world. Dude is basically admitting he sucks at his job and plans on making no changes. Only someone with no fear of losing their job would be like that.

The expectation people had coming into the presser, along with the reaction they had, reminds me how many new burrow era fans there are. Clearly they did not live through The Who Dey revolution years…
