SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Defending His Guys” Edition

Good Tuesday to you Steelers fans.

There’s a lot you can say about Mike Tomlin but you can never say that he doesn’t protect or defend his guys. He’ll do that even at the risk of sounding a bit absurd as he did yesterday in press conference. Asked about the lack of big plays he said “the Patriots went to two-deep and stopped our chances of having any splash play.” When you first hear or read that, you think to yourself, “so a team can’t find big plays against cover-2?” If that were the case why play any other defense?
