Steelers

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin says that the team needs to keep making improvements each week instead of completely changing their offense.

“Keep working,” Tomlin said, via Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “With continuity, it raises your floor. When you raise your floor and minimize negativity, you increase the potential for positivity. Sometimes, the changes that need to occur aren’t significant ones. They’re just continuing to work and understanding that the dam’s going to break in terms of those opportunities.”

• Steelers OC Matt Canada said that they must be able to pass downfield, improve their blocking, and get their run game going: “This gonna be a tremendous offense. We got great talent. We gotta get balls down the field too. We gotta block a little better. We gotta get our run game. Our run game efficiency is coming, but it’s not enough, right?” (Brooke Pryor)
