The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookies’ first preseason game was the first opportunity for them to translate everything they had learned over the last three months onto the field against live competition. Most of the Steelers’ rookies played extensively, and while there were some positives to take away, there are some big improvements that need to be made in the second preseason game.
Mike Tomlin mentioned it after the first game against the Houston Texans. It is reasonable to expect guys like Payton Wilson to be more detailed in their play going from the first game to the second.
