Tomlin on Preseason game against Bills

Coach Mike Tomlin talks about various issues relating to the Steelers’ third preseason game, which is tonight against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Q. How did you evaluate the performance of rookie quarterback Jerrod Johnson in the game against the Indianapolis Colts?

A. I think I’m developing a different impression of all the guys based on a body of work. He’s one of the young guys who has taken advantage of some opportunities and moved the offense down the field late in some ballgames. You have to give him credit for that. You have to take note of that. And we have.

Q. It was only a preseason game, but Johnson did move the team 65 yards in 15 plays for the game-winning field goal by Daniel Hrapmann, and he seemed to have all of the poise he needed?

A. He did a nice job in the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, but I thought the difference in the Colts game was that he was more situationally aware. He had a third-and-4 when he had a bootleg, and he kept the ball, he tucked the ball, he didn’t run out of bounds, he cut back in and kept it in play. He was just aware of the fact we were in the red zone, it was a third down situation, that it was a two-minute situation and we needed to continue to burn the clock. That shows me growth and development really more than the play itself.

Q. Again it’s only the preseason, but did 146 yards rushing by the offense against the Colts impress you?

A. It was OK, but of course we have a desire to be better than that. We don’t want to be good, we want to be great, but we like where we are. We see signs of positive growth, and we’re just going to continue to work.

I haven't been able to sleep. Too excited for a preseason game.

Now I need to find something to occupy the next 12 hours. Something that doesn't involve work or exercise. Ooooh, beer.

You'll end up passing out at three and sleeping through the game, lol.

No way. The body doesn't need sleep. You just need to rest your eyes every once in a while.

Keep telling yourself that. In fact, go rest your eyes. I'll see you in about five hours.

Yep, it starts at 7:00. Check NFL.com. It isn't going to be on T.V. in youngstown though, is it?

Yep, it's on TV. Steelers are always on unless there's conflict with the Browns. Usually 3 or 4 games per year that aren't televised.

Huh. Not here. In fact, it's Texans-Saints, and oddly enough, it says 8:00pm for that as well.

Edit: Nevermind. That one is actually at 8:00.

There's a chance I won't be as active during game day today, a lot of company over.

I won't be on either. I'll be paying more attention to this game, which I can never do when on the computer. I might be on in the second half.

My cousin is staying over this weekend, and he usually hogs the laptop all day. I like to watch it on the laptop and have the forum open in a separate tab, but I may just open the forum on my PS3, and multi-task.

I'll be at Hooters watching the game since it won't be on TV here.

As long as he doesn't get flagged for holding. Or illegal motion.

And in case you're wondering, here's the ref signal for illegal motion.
