The Steelers' coach met with the Pittsburgh media Tuesday in anticipation of Sunday's opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Here's the transcript:

Mike Tomlin, coach, Pittsburgh Steelers (http://pit.scout.com/) We’ve got a formidable opponent in the Atlanta Falcons (http://atl.scout.com/). When you look at them offensively they have one of the premier young signal-callers in football in Matt Ryan (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=5139813). He does a lot of things – just about everything – well. He plays smart, he’s tough, he has a strong arm, he’s mobile, he makes good decisions, spreads the ball around to a variety of people. Some of those are the likes of Tony Gonzalez (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=5139824), the legendary tight end; Roddy White (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4265388), a Pro Bowl-caliber receiver with three straight 1,000-yard seasons.............................

...........
Q: With the situation at quarterback, how will Rashard Mendenhall (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4835654)’s role be increased? A: It doesn’t. Rashard’s our feature runner and he’s good in just about all circumstances you put him in. He’s had a good training camp and preseason. He’s good with the ball in his hands, he’s good in blitz pick-up, he’s good out of the backfield. We like how his game is shaping up. He’s an emerging player. He’s becoming a veteran player.........................
