Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday at the first news conference of the 2008-2009 season.
Tomlin acknowledged that the uncertainty of Steelers ownership could "potentially" be a distraction for the players when reporting to training camp on Sunday. The following was taken from an article featured in the PPG today:
"Because there'll be questions that I'll have to answer in regards to that and there will be questions that potentially our team has to answer in regard to that.
"I don't have the answer to those questions and neither does our football team; I'm here to coach; they're here to play. Those questions will be answered by the Rooneys.''
Mr. Tomlin did say that a "good" team won't let ownership issues or other off-field subjects become distractions.
"You got a good football team when they're capable of doing that," he said, "and not only on that specific subject, but on any subject that has nothing to do with playing football and preparing yourself to win football games.''
