Mike Tomlin

I think they've also displayed stability and depth at the quarterback position.

Got a lot of respect.

for CJ Stroud and his body of work and what he's been able to do in this league over a short period of time.

But I'm also very respectful of the veteran presence that Davis Mills provides.

I think he went 3-0 this year as a starter.

He threw five touchdowns and one interception over the course of that span.

And I just think that when you're able to absorb

The negativity of playing without your quarterback and maintain your offensive rhythm and take care of the football, I just think that's an asset to a collective.

And to be quite honest with you, I think that three game stretch that he had was really the catalyst for this nine game stretch that they're on.

And when they got CJ back, they just taken off from there.

And so we certainly have some challenges in that phase.

They do a nice job strategically, particularly in situations of attacking tendencies.

We've got to be thoughtful about repetitive calls and situational calls.

They do a really good job of strategy in those kind of moments.

On the defensive side of the ball, they just got a kick butt unit, they do.

They got a top flight edge tandem in Hunter and Anderson.

They got a top flight corner tandem.

On the outside, and so they rush very well.

They cover very well.

They're not trying to split the atom schematically.
