Cam Heyward Knows Steelers Can’t ‘Build A Hole,’ Must Start Faster Than 2022

Over the last decade or so in the NFL, with less and less of an importance being put on the preseason, the month of September and early portion of the NFL schedule is viewed by most teams and coaches as extended preseason action, where teams continue to learn about themselves and build themselves up.

That’s not the case in Pittsburgh under head coach Mike Tomlin. It especially won’t be true entering the 2023 season after a tough, intense training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe and a preseason in which the starters played heavily.

Pittsburgh aims to hit the ground running in the month of September and start fast, according to star defensive lineman Cameron Heyward.
