With so many new faces on the defensive side of the football for the Pittsburgh Steelers, communication has been a key focus throughout the offseason, training camp and the preseason.
Coming out of Thursday night’s preseason finale on the road against the Atlanta Falcons, the Steelers feel rather encouraged with the communication aspect and the attention to detail from the new-look defense overall.
That includes head coach Mike Tomlin.
Speaking after halftime Thursday night to Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews for KDKA-TV, Tomlin was rather encouraged by the communication level and the speed with which the defense played on the night, at least from the starters’ perspective.
