Tomlin vowed there can be modifications coming.
“Hell yeah, there’s going to be modifications,” he mentioned through ESPN. “That was an unsightly product we put on the market immediately, and so we’re not going to do the identical issues and hope for a special end result. What these modifications are, we’ll put collectively a plan in preparation this week.”
It’s unclear what particularly that could be. Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada has come below fireplace in current weeks because the offense continues to sputter. The protection, which was imagined to be the crew’s sturdy swimsuit coming into the sport, was lit up by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.
