It’s hard not to notice that the Steelers defense is a little long in the tooth.
The topic of over-30 Pittsburgh defenders grew in recent weeks as James Harrison struggled to get into regular season shape. Nine Steelers defenders will be over 30 this season. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has heard the talk and implored the media to “keep talking” about how old the defense is.
“You’re making my job easy,” Tomlin said with a smile at his Tuesday press conference, via Steelers.com.
Tomlin was extremely confident that he didn’t have to worry about Harrison. He joked that Harrison may be “sandbagging” everyone by saying he’s only 75-80% healthy.

ive never been so happy to be wrong I'll do ya one better, va. Up until last season, I wasn't convinced that Tomlin wasn't just another George Siefert or Barry Switzer, who both took over great teams and won Super Bowls with the talent that had been put in place before they even got there. But last season finally convinced me that Tomlin is the real deal. He faced a lot of adversity and distractions last season but still got the Steelers to the Super Bowl. And as much as I loved Cowher, if I had a chance right now to pick either coach going forward, I'd pick Tomlin. Like you, I'm happy that I was wrong.  _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |
