Tomlin on Preseason game against Bills

Coach Mike Tomlin talks about various issues relating to the Steelers’ third preseason game, which is tonight against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Q. How did you evaluate the performance of rookie quarterback Jerrod Johnson in the game against the Indianapolis Colts?

A. I think I’m developing a different impression of all the guys based on a body of work. He’s one of the young guys who has taken advantage of some opportunities and moved the offense down the field late in some ballgames. You have to give him credit for that. You have to take note of that. And we have.

Q. It was only a preseason game, but Johnson did move the team 65 yards in 15 plays for the game-winning field goal by Daniel Hrapmann, and he seemed to have all of the poise he needed?

A. He did a nice job in the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, but I thought the difference in the Colts game was that he was more situationally aware. He had a third-and-4 when he had a bootleg, and he kept the ball, he tucked the ball, he didn’t run out of bounds, he cut back in and kept it in play. He was just aware of the fact we were in the red zone, it was a third down situation, that it was a two-minute situation and we needed to continue to burn the clock. That shows me growth and development really more than the play itself.

Q. Again it’s only the preseason, but did 146 yards rushing by the offense against the Colts impress you?

A. It was OK, but of course we have a desire to be better than that. We don’t want to be good, we want to be great, but we like where we are. We see signs of positive growth, and we’re just going to continue to work.

[Bayz101]

Am I the only one that read that interview in Tomlin's voice?

[Vis]

So where can I watch it? I have my Highland Oatmeal Porter ready.

[ricardisimo]

Feel free to share streams, but do so in PMs, not on the open board, please. There's no quicker way to have these sites shut down by Homeland Security (yes, Homeland Security) mid-game than to mass-post about them.

[RushHard34]

Would appreciate it if someone PM'd me a link to the game!

[Raw Steel]

PM me please with stream

[Vis]

They look terrible.

[Fire Arians]

special teams still horrible

[Vis]

Good call on the D

[Steel_Bus_24]

Im tired of the sacks...man we have to protect better if we want to get the most of Ben

[Fire Arians]

redman injured already, shit. he should really sit out if he knows he isn't ready to go.

[Vis]

This is ugly.

[Vis]

Who's hurt?

[Fire Arians]

Who's hurt?

redman went down, possibly aggravated that groin injury

walked off under his own power but i think he needs to sit this one out

now decastro's injured. wtf

[Atlanta Dan]

And now a DeCastro injury

This looks serious

[MACH1]

Anyone have a link?

[GoFor7]

Can anyone catch the ball.....?

[Fire Arians]

all these injuries are pissing me off. decastro injury doesn't look good at all

[Vis]

DeCastro down. Holy ****

[Raw Steel]

DeCastro down. Another reason to hate the preseason.

[Fire Arians]

****in a, there goes my hope for this season. another year with a failure of an o-line

[Atlanta Dan]

Taken off on the cart - not good at all for DeCastro

[Vis]

Carted off. Always a positive sign

[Vis]

I might have to switch to liqueur

[SH-Rock]

Rusty rush defense

[GoFor7]

Troy seems late on his plays

[Atlanta Dan]

Troy beaten badly on that coverage

[pete74]

wow defese looks all round bad

[Fire Arians]

wow defese looks all round bad

weak run defense, can't get pressure on the qb, bad coverage, just overall bad.

i don't mind if our D gets beat on some passing plays, but I can't stand seeing anyone run on us

[GoFor7]

Lets see if the receivers actually remember how to catch the ball now.

[Vis]

Who gets fired at halftime?

[GoFor7]

Redman back

[Vis]

Rich Walsh ‏@RichieWalsh
RT “@dlolleyor: That injury to DeCastro doesn't look like it would be a season ender. Got bent back, but not too much sideways motion”


Now this guy has no idea but lets hope

Maybe not season ending, but you have to wonder if it could be one of those lingering injuries.

[Steel_Bus_24]

What are we looking at here for DD.....Big Ben High Ankle sprain type???

[Vis]

Redman can't stop and look. He has to hit holes at speed

[Steel_Bus_24]

3rd and long...3rd and Long all ffing pre-season

[Atlanta Dan]

Well they got some first downs

[Vis]

What are we looking at here for DD.....Big Ben High Ankle sprain type???

Right knee of unknown severity

[Vis]

new coach just paid off. Yeah, thats what it is.

[Atlanta Dan]

If Everest was still coaching that punt would not have been downed on the Bills one

[Wallabeast17]

Poor Curtis Brown just cannot get a break this preseason:doh:

[Steel_Bus_24]

Right knee of unknown severity

Just our freaking luck it will be a Troy 09 deal then

MCL Partial Tear

[Vis]

I will never buy a product that puts a pop-up over the game

[PhantomJB93]

My hopes for this year just went down the toilet. DeCastro was the key to this OLine finally being good.

[pete74]

Just our freaking luck it will be a Troy 09 deal then

MCL Partial Tear

i would be happy if it was a partial tear, he looked to be in pain

[Vis]

Ziggy having a good preseason

[Fire Arians]

good coverage by brown on that play

[Wallabeast17]

First good play I've seen from Brown all preseason. Guess i spoke to soon:chuckle:

[Atlanta Dan]

LeBeau dialing up the blitzes on that last series

Starting again from inside the 10

[Steel_Bus_24]

I will never buy a product that puts a pop-up over the game

man Im listening on online radio now.....didn't want to get a Virus

[pete74]

yea Ziggy looks god. i would love to see him and Heyward out there together

[Steel_Bus_24]

Did Wolfe say Brett was walking to the Locker room with a limp???

[Atlanta Dan]

Nice run for first down on short yardage

[Vis]

yea Ziggy looks god. i would love to see him and Heyward out there together

Youre seeing it. Keisel left ankle to locker room

[Fire Arians]

Did Wolfe say Brett was walking to the Locker room with a limp???

yes. injuries already piling up.

hope heyward is ready

[pete74]

Youre seeing it. Keisel left ankle to locker room

see how much i know. wow

[pete74]

offense looks bad. the line is going to get Ben killed and Wr's cant catch

[Atlanta Dan]

Ben clocked when he threw that pass - O-line still sucks

[Fire Arians]

sanders shoulda had that

[Steel_Bus_24]

Man Im sick of this injury sh**

what the hell is going on with the strength and conditioning unit in regards to the OL/DL

[Vis]

Man Im sick of this injury sh**

what the hell is going on with the strength and conditioning unit in regards to the OL/DL

How would that have helped DD? No one pulled a hammy

[Fire Arians]

sack by carter, nice

[Atlanta Dan]

Like the blitz pressure last several series

[Fire Arians]

cam heyward looked strong on that series

[Vis]

Time for a reverse.....

[Atlanta Dan]

Total chaos with the refs on this kick return penalty

[Fire Arians]

we get penalized for an infraction by a bills player? lmao

[Vis]

Time for a snack as they take a poll on the rules

[Atlanta Dan]

Which ends up being no penalty:chuckle:

[Vis]

Haley, why run Redman wide?

[Atlanta Dan]

Good to see the return of the screen p[ass

[Fire Arians]

short yardage game still sucks, maybe we should go back to the 5 wide on 3rd and 1 lol

[Atlanta Dan]

Poor blocking on that short yardage run:banging:

[Steel_Bus_24]

Can't

Run Block
Pass Block
or Catch

[Atlanta Dan]

we get penalized for an infraction by a bills player? lmao

Union man Ed.B. of the P-G refers on twitter to "scab" refs screwing up

[Fire Arians]

defense gets a turnover, awesome

[Atlanta Dan]

Turnover - OK let's get 6!

[SH-Rock]

Ziggy Hood looking mad nice

[Vis]

Ziggy gets the ball

[Fire Arians]

first down to miller, it's about bloody time!

[Steel_Bus_24]

Big Money finally gets a catch this pre-season

[Atlanta Dan]

Heeeeth for the first down

[SH-Rock]

Must be a lot of steeler fans in attendance. That echoing "HEATH" chant!

[Vis]

Props to Timmons for the strip. He gets too little credit

[Atlanta Dan]

3rd and goal from the 2

Run it twice if necessary

Steelers cannot get the play in - that is twice - raggedy offense tonight

[Wallabeast17]

REDZONE REDMAN

[Atlanta Dan]

Redman moves the pile for the TD:thumbsup:

[SH-Rock]

Nice short yardage there

[Fire Arians]

nice power run by redman, 7-7!

[Vis]

That was all Redman

[Vis]

Lost feed ...

[SH-Rock]

Chris Cater with some nice pressure

[Atlanta Dan]

Another drive starting inside the 10 - would like to see a long drive to end the half and see the starters call it a night

DD only said to out for the game (Ed. B. tweeted "what about the season?") with right knee injury

[SH-Rock]

That bills Dline is scary

[Atlanta Dan]

Loss after a deep handoff on the run followed by a sack:mad:

[Atlanta Dan]

Lousy 3 and out

[Wallabeast17]

Field position all night has just sucked

[Atlanta Dan]

Another inability to get the play off:banging:

[Atlanta Dan]

Dwyer!

Great pocket presence and throw by Ben

[SH-Rock]

Nice 2 minute offense here. I like what I see!

[SH-Rock]

AB!

[Atlanta Dan]

Impressive - most impressive

Ben 17 -24 160 yards - call it a night Ben

[GoFor7]

Art needs to build a statue of Ben.

[Steel_Bus_24]

Impressive - most impressive

Ben 17 -24 160 yards - call it a night Ben

agreed

[austinfrench76]

Excited for the season. Call it a pre season ALL STARTERS. No more injuries!

[Atlanta Dan]

Liked the pass rush pressure and the 99 yard drive to end the half was excellent

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst with DeCastro

[Penn]

that last drive really eased the tension

[SteelCity4Life]

Polamalu does it again!!!!! Wow, Lefty actually made a PASS!

[Penn]

any update on decastro?

[JLangman]

I'm late but can someone PM me a stream please.
Thanks.

[SteelCity4Life]

I'm late but can someone PM me a stream please.
Thanks.

Same here.

Stream. Please, and Thank you.

[GoFor7]

Cortez Allen has been a beast of a shutdown corner so far.

[Penn]

i sent the link to you two

[Atlanta Dan]

Feel free to share streams, but do so in PMs, not on the open board, please. There's no quicker way to have these sites shut down by Homeland Security (yes, Homeland Security) mid-game than to mass-post about them.

Smart move - we follow the same practice for video training links on Taliban Fever Forum

[SteelCity4Life]

The defense has been BEAST all night long. Offensive is still lagging. God, I hope to hell David Decastro is okay! Another tough injury.

Defense will undoubtfully get the game ball.
