Steelers Training Camp Day Five: What To Watch For

We’re full swing into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp but you can crank the dial up to 11 today. Tuesday is the first day the pads come on for a full-contact practice. And you can tell the players are anxious to hit. The defense, anyway. To be clear, today’s session won’t be 100 percent tackling, the first full team session following seven shots is usually the only one with full tackling (Pittsburgh’s about the only team that still does it) but there will also be the year’s debut of backs on ‘backers, wide receiver vs. defensive back, and offensive linemen/defensive linemen drills that should make for an intense day.
