DL Rotation Determined By Quality Of Play, Says Tomlin

How much will the Pittsburgh Steelers rotate now that they’re without Stephon Tuitt for the year? Mike Tomlin is leaving that up to how well the “next men up” play.

During his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin was asked if the team planned on keeping the rotation the same for the remainder of the year.

“It depends, quite frankly, on their quality of play,” he responded. “You know, if the guys are playing really solidly, we’ll play them. If they’re not, then we’ll play them less. We have a plan but we’ll remain light on our feet.
