How about throwing it downfield to Pickens? (It won’t be long before Pickens gets mad.) Pickett talked about handing the ball to Najee Harris. How about scoring from outside the red zone? (Tomlin did mention the need for “chunk plays.”) Long drives make mistakes more likely. Tomlin says he’s got “no idea.” It might help if 6-foot-5 tight end Pat Freiermuth got more than two touchdowns, his total last year. Training camp’s early days have featured Tomlin babbling about solving the offense’s problems in the red zone. Maybe the Steelers will move forward philosophically, emboldened by Pickett having a year under his belt. (This is on Tomlin, not offensive coordinator Matt Canada.) Living in his fears might be part of this. Mike Tomlin doesn’t get it, won’t get it and would rather be mediocre indulging a Steelers mindset rooted in the ’70s than find out if the Steelers can execute the modern method.
