Mike Tomlin had his weekly meeting with the media on Tuesday. Here are some of the talking points.
– Any time you can get a division win this time of year it’s a good thing. It wasn’t easy on Sunday, and they didn’t expect it to be.
– On to the injuries: Not in too bad of shape. Flozell Adams might be limited early on in the week and should be better this week. Bryant McFadden has a hamstring — has had one — but is still able to play. May limit him early. Troy’s situation will follow the same protocol it has the past couple of weeks. And it’s working. It’s your weekly “Aaron Smith is a week better.” Still optimistic about him returning this season at some point. “Day by day.”
Some other minor bumps and bruises: Anthony Madison has a knee contusion, Keyaron Fox hyperextended his elbow, should be fine. Heath Miller passed his concussion tests and is a full go for practice and is expected to play on Sunday.
– Stiff challenge this week from the Jets and both teams want to remain among the elite. Both teams need the win desperately and should provide a unique matchup. Tomlin likes their leadership with guys like Tony Richardson, Bart Scott, Ladanian Tomlinson and Jason Taylor. Also extremely talented. Referred to Sanchez as a “high draft pick and very talented.” Hey, Santonio Holmes plays for the Jets! Braylon Edwards another guy the Steelers are familiar with, another “talented high round draft pick.” Dustin Keller is a vertical threat and they also use their running backs quite a bit in the passing game. Nobody jumps off the page statistically because they use everybody. Very balanced.....................
