Mike Tomlin Weirdly Suggests People Are Spying On Steelers’ Practices

00:00 Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are hearing footsteps, it appears.
The Steelers have erected a massive, two-story-high wall of black tarps surrounding the end zone of one of their practice fields in Pittsburgh, according to reporters on the scene.
This obviously is a strange move to make during Week 3 of the preseason, so Tomlin was asked about the tarps Thursday during a press conference.
His response was even stranger.
“I’ll leave that somewhat mystical, man,” Tomlin said, via PennLive.com.
It’ll be the little 2018 side story.” All right, then.
Tomlin essentially admitted as much in his cryptic reply.
This is interesting times, drones and so forth,” Tomlin said.
“We’ll do what we’ve got to do to prepare and be ready to play — play on a level, fair, competitive playing field.” Pittsburgh has a huge preseason showdown with the Titans on Saturday, but if Tennessee thinks it can infiltrate the Steelers’ facility with “drones and so forth,” it’s sorely mistaken.
Nice work, Mike.
