As we hit the second off day for Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, having gone through eight practice sessions, a pretty obvious pattern has emerged: head coach Mike Tomlin has been alternating rest days for tight ends Heath Miller and Matt Spaeth.
No, this is not an indication that the two veterans are no longer getting along and need to be separated. Although it may strike some as a bit odd that the team’s top tight end pairing has yet to actually work together this summer due to the rotation, I think that it makes a lot of sense given their specific scenario.
