“The good teams, the dominant teams, aren't necessarily dominant in stadiums, but they are dominant largely in moments, when they do what's required to get out of stadiums with victories.”

Tomlin says the #Steelers need to minimize DeSean Jackson's "chunkability".
That's a new one.

Tomlin: "Oftentimes, our past shared experiences weigh into the anticipation."
"We'll let past history be past history" this time

Coach Tomlin on A.J. Green
We know who he is.
We knew who he was before last week.
If you didn’t, now you do.
But, we did.

Coach Mike Tomlin updated the team's injury situation following the loss to Philadelphia.
“During this particular course of the journey, you have an opportunity to learn about yourself in terms of how you respond to adversity. I also believe this week we’ll get a snapshot of this group’s resilience and its ability to respond to injury because we have a number of guys who won’t be available to us for a number of reasons."

“As long as they weren't moving it and scoring, we weren't extremely uncomfortable with how the game was unfolding,” Tomlin said, referring to the 13-point deficit prior to the blocked punt. “If you look at the offense in a vacuum, it could make you uncomfortable, but we don't do that.
We weren't ready to scrap the plan. We want to show some mental fortitude and show commitment to the planning and give guys an opportunity to work out of self-inflicted wounds.”

"If I thought the incidents were running rampant, then I would respond accordingly. It’s been popcorn. It’s a global thing."

"When the kitchen gets hot, you need to make the complex simple. You need to make irregular regular."
"You've heard people brag about 'being in the zone'. They don't know what the Hell being in the zone is about. I played in the NFL for 15 years and I was only in the zone that one time." - "Mean" Joe Greene on the 1974 playoff victory over Oakland
Reading this thread took me back to his first presser. Sorry if this post doesn't belong here.
Mike Tomlin defends onside kick
“I know analytically they probably fall in the lower percentages and things of that nature,” Tomlin said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. “If I err, I’m always going to err on the side of action in an effort to win. My guys know that about me. I think more importantly them knowing that about me, they expect that from me. I don’t fear failure. I’m going to do what’s required to pursue victory, even if it comes across as unconventional. I’m certainly not going to steer away from decision-making for fear of ridicule. Those guys put a lot on the line when we step into stadiums to play. I, in turn, am responsible for putting a lot on the line and embrace doing so. I understand when things don’t work out and the criticism that’s associated with it. I embrace that. But I go to work with men every day that lay a lot on the line when they step in stadiums as well. I’m just going to provide the same efforts that they provide me.”
His answer, like his decision, still doesn’t make much sense.
