One of the principle qualities that Mike Tomlin is known for as a head coach, even by his detractors, is the fact that he manages to be motivational in a personable way, and understands how to push people’s buttons effectively to get more out of them.
Essentially, he trash talks his own players, from up and down the roster, catered each to their needs, or what gets them going the most. Nobody escapes that. Not even the specialists, and certainly not his former All-Pro kicker, Chris Boswell, as teammate Cameron Heyward talked about on Pat McAfee’s show, who himself is a former punter.
