Mike Tomlin Discusses WR/DB Matchups In Practice, Diverse WR Skill sets

After practice at training camp today, Mike Tomlin was asked in his press conference (via Steelers.com) his impression of the wide receiver and defensive back matchups at practice.

“It’s ebb and flow. It really is, and the skill sets are different depending on the circumstance. And as you guys can see, we got a bunch of different types of receivers, tall guys, small guys with great stop and go. Oftentimes those skill sets really dictate the nature of the matchup. We were working in the red zone yesterday in the tight red, and we focused on a lot of jump balls to the bigger body guys,” Tomlin said.
