If Mike Tomlin is changing his approach to how he handles WR George Pickens, he’s not telling anyone. Despite an honest critique of Pickens following Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Tomlin was tight-lipped Tuesday.

“I’m not gonna give you any detail about what goes on behind the scenes in terms of his growth and development,” Tomlin told reporters during his Tuesday press conference via the Steelers’ YouTube channel. “You know that’s my style and I’m gonna be really consistent in it. Being transparent with you guys doesn’t necessarily help or accelerate the growth process, and that’s my agenda, not necessarily feeding the beast.
