Pittsburgh Steelers’ extensive receiver Diontae Johnson stated the quiet component out loud — his crew can be in a rebuilding yr.
In changing Mitch Trubisky with Kenny Pickett, Mike Tomlin admitted (possibly privately), that the long-time period dreams of the enterprise have been extra vital than the short-time period achievement of his crew. There’s not anything incorrect with that — it’s honorable, in fact, and speaks to his activity security.
Pickett gave the Steelers a spark, that’s precisely what Tomlin become going for. The Pitt product scored two times at the ground, however additionally threw 3 interceptions, in an eventual loss to the Jets. Given the hard timetable ahead, it is able to be a tough season withinside Steel City.
“Obviously, its a rebuilding yr,” Diontae Johnson stated, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “We can’t use that as an excuse. It doesn’t be counted who’s at quarterback or any position. Its our activity to get it accomplished and win games. That`s what we need to do — win.”

Trubisky become the final sport supervisor in a machine constructed precisely for that. Yet, while the Steeler’s protection started out to disintegrate thru accidents to the likes of T.J. Watt, Matt Canada needed to open up the offense.
Pickett is a long way extra proper to that, and at 1-3, Tomlin sees the issues in his ways. The ceiling for the Steelers with Trubisky becomes in no way all that high. It`s a hard scenario for him, and his Pittsburgh teammates stated that.
“Its hard on him,” Johnson stated. “He has lots of stuff he has to assume about, positive stuff he’s likely questioning about, I`m certain everybody else is questioning about, as well.”
Replacing quarterbacks midseason is hard on everyone. Next up, the Bills.
A rebuilding yr is precisely what Pittsburgh desires to look what they have got in Pickett, for higher or worse. It become time.
