Mike Tomlin sends a clear message to Steelers LT Broderick Jones after his Week 1 performance against the New York Jets

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have won the game against the New York Jets, but there is a lot to clean up, on both sides of the ball. The defense is a whole other story, but the left tackle position was a mess throughout Sunday. Broderick Jones was downright bad. He just didn’t look comfortable, which is to be expected given that he’s never really played a full game of left tackle in the NFL. Mike Tomlin, Broderick Jones and the rest of the Steelers know that has to change. . .”It could be better, but certainly all of our performances could be better,” said Tomlin when asked of Jones’ performance. “As I mentioned, our quarterback got hit too much, and he was a component of that.”

Mike Tomlin is not worried about Broderick Jones’ confidence

“I do not. . .because it’s football,” said Tomlin when asked if he was worried about Jones’ confidence. “You don’t get to the National Football League by being fragile emotionally. There’s a lot of confident guys that I work with. You win some battles. You lose some battles. You come back fighting. That’s just the nature of the men that play this game at this level.”
