All great coaches ( and players) are never satisfied. It doesn't matter what people think of Tomlin, his body of work cannot be disputed. I'm pretty sure that his remarks though publicly stated, we're aimed directly at his team.Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Tomlin. Undefeated team and ends with this...
"We are singularly, professionally focused on the week that lies ahead for us," Tomlin said. "It’s a short one for us, a long one for Washington. We just respect that. We don’t seek comfort. We realize Washington doesn’t care about our problems, or they’re glad we have them. We proceed with that understanding."
Whatever, inject something into it like, we seek no comfort on a short week to face WASH. Just say the league is against your team, and your team going undefeated so obviously the league didn't afford the Steelers time between games is what he is hinting at. Ok, use that motivation for your team this week Tomlin. I guess that's what NFL vet savy coaches do anyways. If you don't seek comfort than why mention it?
I hope we (WASH) is proceeding with, "let's respect them but also just kick the sh*t out of this undefeated team regardless of the back drop stories. For goodness sakes Tomlin, you are undefeated and always crying about something.
He wasn't happy with the performance against Baltimore and is probably whipping his guys into a thick lather heading into Monday's game. Can't really blame him either, his team is staring that rare undefeated season in the face and based on the last game, complacency appears to be creeping in.
For those hoping for the chance to win this game, it would have been better had they soundly beaten the Ravens. 19- 14 was a wake-up call and Tomlin is using every coaching method in the book to make sure his guys get it.
