Under normal circumstances, Mike Tomlin is better prepared than he was for this training camp, when he didn't bring in a 2nd place kicker. That decision has floundered on Shaun Suisham's season ending ACL tear suffered Sunday vs Minnesota in a very meaningless game. Now the black & gold face a very uncertain future at a key special teams position.
He may play the role of a place kicker in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his mentality is more like a linebacker. It was that mentality that led him to making a tackle on a kickoff to start the 2nd half that has led to a season ending injury.
