‘Coaches Do Not Set Culture:’ Jeff Saturday Doesn’t Think Mike Tomlin Deserves Blame For George Pickens’ Effort

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens displayed poor effort on various plays against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, but the biggest that stood out was Pickens failing to block his man on a would-be Jaylen Warren touchdown. Pickens didn’t take blame for the play during his media session yesterday, and his attitude, along with Pittsburgh’s general locker room culture, has been an issue all season.

On ESPN’s Get Up! this morning, former NFL center-turned-head coach Jeff Saturday said that Mike Tomlin isn’t to blame for Pittsburgh’s culture issues, as it should be up to the players to set the culture in the locker room.
