Steelers coach Mike Tomlin sent a mixed message Tuesday when talking about wide receiver Mike Wallace. Tomlin acknowledged he is considering Wallace a co-starter at split end with Emmanuel Sanders, which was initially indicated when Pittsburgh released its pregame depth chart for Week 13 at Baltimore. Tomlin said "situations" will determine who starts. Tomlin also said he doesn't have a problem with Wallace's effort, but, "He's not producing in a manner that he wants to, or in a manner we want him to." Tomlin finally said Wallace "was frustrated" Sunday against the Browns, when he had one catch for 9 yards, but many passes thrown his way by quarterback Charlie Batch were off the mark.

Tomlin in a No-Win Situation This Week

Via Steel City Blitz  |  November 28, 2012
If Mike Tomlin were a Major League Baseball player he’d be in a slump of epic proportions. He’s not of course but his decision-making of late has been anything less than a home run let alone a base hit. From benching every running back that fumbled the football to his odd decisions to go for long field goals, call for fake field goals and go on fourth down at mid-field, Tomlin...

Perhaps Tomlin should just draw straws at Running Back this week

Via Steel City Blitz  |  November 27, 2012
There were so many things that went wrong for the Steelers, in the week 12 loss to the Browns, not the least of which was the 6 fumbles (4 of them lost) by the running backs. No sense going back and reliving the 3 interceptions by Charlie Batch and the final fumble on the last drive of the game; but hey, who’s counting? For the last month or so Mike Tomlin has preached about going...
