In front of a microphone, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin perpetually lives in the here and now, not thinking about tomorrow. If you ask him a question that has anything to do with the future, he’ll likely claim he hasn’t thought about it—even though he undoubtedly has. As far as the outside world is concerned, the focus is as narrow as a pinhole.
So even though he speaks glowingly at times, he is tempering any outside attempt to gauge the internal temperature. Tomlin might be downright giddy about the potential of his new secondary, but he knows they haven’t done anything yet.
