Steelers' Mike Tomlin adjusts stance on WR George Pickens' emotions: 'It's a problem'

A month ago, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin dismissed George Pickens' visible frustration on the field as a "non-issue." While speaking to reporters Monday, Tomlin adjusted his stance.

"It’s a problem because it’s not solution-oriented,” he said during his weekly news conference. “You know we are all frustrated, but we got to manage our frustrations in a professional, mature way. When it’s not done that way, it’s not necessarily pushing us to solutions.”

Pickens is the team's leading wideout with 767 receiving yards but his production this season has been limited compared to previous years.
