Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Saturday that he had positive conversations with wide receiver George Pickens after Pickens expressed frustration during last week's 21-18 loss to the New England Patriots.
Speaking to Bob Labriola of the Steelers' official website, Tomlin explained that he spoke to Pickens about the fact that the Patriots intentionally try to deny players the ball and take them out of the game plan in an effort to frustrate them:
"He and I had a great meeting this week. We were just talking about the New England agenda. I'm familiar with the agenda because I've just been a component of it in the past.
