Later this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers will make the trek down Route 30 to Saint Vincent College for the 50th straight year. Much like the previous 49 training camps, head coach Mike Tomlin will continue the tradition of fostering a competitive environment to prepare his team for the regular season.
“I love camp,” Tomlin told Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at the end of minicamp in June. “I love the environment where you get the opportunity to just focus on football and live together, dine together and be secluded, if you will. It’s just a good environment for team building.”
Part of this process involves finding answers to the questions that still surround the team. Unlike previous years, the Steelers seem to have more answers than questions.
With the entire starting unit returning intact, offensive coordinator Todd Haley can focus on refining the offense rather than making any major scheme adjustments. The same can’t be said for defensive coordinator Keith Butler, who will implement a new scheme.
Although this can be viewed as a negative, the defense has been on a downward trend, and Butler gets the opportunity to install his scheme with a young core of defenders ready to make their mark.
We will begin to learn how the coaching staff will approach these issues—and others—when the Steelers report to training camp on Saturday. Until then, here is a preview of the biggest questions that must be answered prior to the start of the regular season.
