Mike Tomlin

I always feel like I got something to prove, not necessarily to anyone in particular, but that's just the spirit in which I go about what I do professionally.

Man, I've been in the hot seat for 19 years.

I always feel like I got something to prove.

Not necessarily to anyone in particular, but that's just the spirit in which I go about what I do professionally.

I think they've been really solid in the secondary once they solidified some of their divisional labor.

I think Minka has been significant in that regard.

He's been playing nickel for them.

They've got more depth, certainly, at safety than they do at corner defense.

and Minka's versatility has been an asset to him.

He's done an awesome job as a guy that plays closer to the line of scrimmage in the nickel position, a guy that blitzes.

Certainly in base, he plays free safety and is a hub of communication and center fielder back there for him there.
