SCB Steelers Hot Reads – The Pads Are On!

Hey Steelers Fans. Welcome to Tuesday.

It doesn’t mean squat until the pads come out… And the pads will come out today in Latrobe. For the first time since the Pittsburgh Steelers arrived at St. Vincent College for Training Camp almost a week ago, they will actually be in full pads. The days of two and three-a-day practices are long gone. Players have collectively bargained for less contact but this has had negative effects in the opinion of many. Therefore, Mike Tomlin knows he has to maximize the moments when the players are in full uniform. From ‘Backs on Backers’ to improving tackling, Tomlin knows that time is limited.
