On Tuesday, HC Mike Tomlin spoke to the media in his weekly press conference where he talked about the events of Sunday’s upset win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and previewed the team’s upcoming Week 7 matchup on the road Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins.
When asked about LB Robert Spillane and his role as a coverage linebacker against the Bucs, Tomlin said that he made use of the men at his disposal and played Spillane accordingly due to being down men in the secondary.
“In some instances, he was representing the nickel,” Tomlin said on Spillane Tuesday in his press conference which aired live from the team’s YouTube channel.
