Pittsburgh Steelers' WR George Pickens is not an 'outlying concern' for Steelers HC Mike Tomlin.
in Pittsburgh is reaching a fever pitch. Pickens wore eye black stating that he was ‘always open,’ threw down Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis by his facemask at the end of the team’s loss, and on tape, appeared to run many of his routes at less than full effort., and while he played all the time in the team’s 11 personnel packages , he only played in about 9 percent of the team’s multiple tight end sets, per Steelers Depot. That is a sharp decrease from the 52 percent he had played.
"I didn’t have any outlying issue with his effort; as I mentioned after the game, I think someone asked about a reduction in his total number of snaps,“ Tomlin said. ”It’s just a snap management thing in an effort to be more productive in today’s game regarding analytics. We do it across a lot of positions, particularly when you look at the totality of a 17-game schedule."
Tomlin implied that Pickens and himself had a meeting, but he thinks Pickens' behavior is ‘certainly’ improving over his years with the team.
