Tomlin Says the Lockout Could Help the Steelers in the End

Interesting quotes from Mike Tomlin today in the Post-Gazette about the lockout, and how in fact it could end up helping the Steelers when it’s all said and done.

“The better we do at making the irregular regular, I think is going to increase our chances of winning,” Tomlin explained. “So you know that’s going to be our mentality in Pittsburgh.”

Tomlin said his players also know what it’s like to prepare in the offseason, even if they cannot do so at the Steelers’ training facility or under supervision from the staff.

“We have a veteran laden group with really good leadership,” Tomlin said during a coaches breakfast this morning at the NFL meetings here. “A little extra is required when you’re trying to find a winning edge, a winning formula and that is something our guys embrace.”
