PITTSBURGH -- A postgame film session can be unsettling for players who loaf on Sundays.
As a first-time coordinator, Mike Tomlin needed to demand improvement without making the demands personal. So he launched a routine with the 2006 Minnesota Vikings defense that he still uses today as the Steelers' coach.
He called it, "Reporting the news" -- broadcasting what happened on the field, for better or worse.
"In some ways, it sucked. But on a positive side, if your name was up on the board and he was correcting you, you never thought, oh, this was an a--h---,'" said former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber, who played for Tomlin in 2006.
