Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said during his Tuesday pre-game press conference last week that he had not committed to who would wear the green dot for the defense heading into the regular season opener. He talked about the opportunity to have multiple helmets on the sidelines, and that they will “exercise those options and leave it a little bit mystical”.
I don’t know that it was ‘mystical’, per se, but on a day when the Steelers made extensive use of their dime defense against a pass-heavy Buffalo Bills offense, they did indeed exercise their options, as both Devin Bush and Joe Schobert spent time as the inside linebacker on the field in their six-DB packages, meaning that both must have, at times, worn the green dot.
