Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, Mike Tomlin took to the podium for his weekly press conference on Tuesday afternoon after he and the coaching staff had a great opportunity to self-evaluate over the bye week. Tomlin mentioned that it was a chance to self-scout, and more importantly, take a look at trends going on around in the NFL – particularly quarterback mobility.

Seeing as how this week is Cleveland Browns week, Tomlin spoke to to their “potent running attack” and how the Browns have been able to “keep their personality” despite not having Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, and Baker Mayfield in the lineup recently. Tomlin also gave praise to the Browns’ offensive line, particularly Browns offensive line coach, Bill Callahan. After getting pushed around in the second half in the game against the Seattle Seahawks, stopping the run will be a big focus for the Steelers come Sunday.






As far as injuries go, offensive tackle Zach Banner is back as a full participant. Question marks around defensive lineman, Stephon Tuitt, and running back, Anthony McFarland however still remain.

Coach Tomlin said Stephon Tuitt’s return is not imminent this week, but adds he’s progressing and his rehab is going well.

Coach Mike Tomlin said he anticipates the team activating RB Anthony McFarland from IR. He said the week of practice will determine what role he has behind Najee Harris.

Tomlin ended his presser getting asked about the rumors of him possibly coaching at the college level. Needless to say, Tomlin shut that talk down quick.

“That’s a joke to me. I’ve got one of the best jobs in all of professional sports. Why would I have any interest in coaching college football?” He continued. “Never say never, but never. There’s not a booster with a big enough blank check.”
