Peter King absolutely loves new head coach Mike Tomlin. He'll gush about him every chance he gets, sometimes to the point where I'll find myself thinking, "Ok Peter, I get it, you think Tomlin will be a great coach." Tomlin sounds like an old-school toughness coach, with 15 2-a-days scheduled. He probably needs that much time to install new elements being merged with existing schemes (I'll be interested to see how the 4-3/3-4 hybrid defense works out). He's also trying to build more toughness in the Steelers. Do they really need any more? Didn't they win their way through Superbowl XL basically on their toughness? The players aren't (yet) revolting, but they aren't all completely sold either.
I like what was written about Ben Roethlisberger. Whatever naivety (i.e. invincibility) he lost during the last year has been replaced with wisdom and focus. It also sounds like he'll have more of a chance to throw long this year (and Santonio Holmes, whom I thought was underused last year, might finally get some touches).
