Mike Tomlin had an interesting take in blaming the division of labor prep at running back in the leadup to the Bills game as an issue that will be changed this week. Citing the questionable status of Jaylen Samuels and James Conner last week, Tomlin said it played a factor in having issues with picking up the Bills blitz packages. “We gotta divide the labor better [in practice],” said Tomlin. “Thought we had some issues from a blitz standpoint. More stable division of labor will allow us to be more stout.”

James Conner who struggled mightily in this area, is 100% healthy Tomlin said.
