Steelers-Bears reaction: Why did Mike Tomlin abandon two-safety look? Mason Rudolph unimpressive?
from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo sort through the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Why did coach Mike Tomlin seemingly abandon the two-high safety looks that had worked for his defense in recent weeks? What were the "schematic issues" that linebacker Patrick Queen blamed the loss on after the game? And how can Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin get this expensive unit led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, Kyle Dugger, Payton Wilson and others back on track yet again. Our duo tackles those questions, plus backup QB Mason Rudolph's performance in place of injured starter Aaron Rodgers. How did Rudolph show why the No. 2 role is what he deserves? Will Rodgers be able to start next week after not dressing Sunday? And how can either QB get more out of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington?
