Mike Tomlin had a lot to sift through after the Pittsburgh Steelers lost their second game of the preseason to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 51-34, but it was interesting to note one of the issues he chose to highlight during his brief post-game press conference.

After listing several concerns from the game related to the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, it was something of a surprise to hear Tomlin question the performance of Jordan Berry. As he told the assembled reporters.

“I thought the punting wasn’t consistent enough”

While it would be fair to say that any criticism was well warranted, it’s not something we’ve heard very often in the past from Tomlin, even though it’s far from the first time this accusation could be leveled at the Steelers’ punter.
