Houston coach DeMeco Ryans and rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud admire the sustained success that coach Mike Tomlin has had during his tenure in Pittsburgh and hope to one day emulate it.
“When we first came in, we wanted to set the foundation of why they drafted us,” he said. “We all said to each other, ‘They drafted us together for a reason.’ We all play off of each other and we all eat off each other. We set that standard that we weren’t going to go anything short of success here. We’re going to bring hope to the Texans.”
Now he’ll face a defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in yards allowed, but that has a fierce pass rush that has 13 sacks led by T.J. Watt, who leads the NFL with six.“They do a good job of keeping him out of adverse, one-dimensional circumstances like behind the chains is a component of it,” he said. “He’s experienced beyond his years, being a quarterback at Ohio State is a component of it, in my opinion.
The Steelers have scored 20-plus points in two straight games, though they only crossed that threshold in a Week 2 win over Cleveland thanks to a pair of defensive touchdowns. Pittsburgh has topped 20 points in three straight games just once since Canada took over as offensive coordinator in 2021. Sunday will be Pickett’s 16th NFL start. He’s well aware it’s time to take the training wheels off.
“I think Tank’s success has just come from his preparation,” Ryans said. “He’s locked in on the details of what he’s asked to do when it comes to the route-running, the depth, the angles of where he’s running. He’s locked in on the details. He’s prepared, and it shows on Sunday when he goes out there.”The Steelers relied heavily on the running game during a 7-2 run to end the 2022 season.
