The Pittsburgh Steelers face the team Arthur Smith spent the previous three seasons coaching, the Atlanta Falcons. Even though he served as head coach during that time, Mike Tomlin knows that only tells you so much.
After all, the Falcons are already very different from a year ago. They now have Raheem Morris as head coach, and he turned over the coaching staff. The quarterback room is rebuilt, with Kirk Cousins brought in and Michael Penix Jr. in development. So how much can the Steelers really glean from Smith about his former team?
“Nothing out of the ordinary, to be honest with you”, Tomlin said on Tuesday when asked about Smith’s insights.
