Steelers Physical Camp May Give Them Edge To Start Season

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers held training camp at a new location, working at Heinz Field, but the style of camp didn’t seem to change. They’ve been known to have among football’s most physical summers and that didn’t change this season. If anything, the lack of a preseason created for at times a more physical camp, including full-contact, live-tackling special teams sessions.

But not every team takes the Steelers’ approach. The Dallas Cowboys reportedly haven’t done any tackling in training camp. According to this tweet from Jon Machota, the first time they’ll tackle is Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams.
