Tomlin On Preseason Game No. 3
- Head coach Mike Tomlin would not name a starter for Sunday night's preseason game but Tomlin said today that Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon will all see time with the first team.
Although Tomlin remains mum, strong indications are Roethlisberger will start and be followed by Dixon and Leftwich in that order.
Tomlin said that Dixon has earned first team reps on "merritt". It wasn't preplanned that he would get first team reps by week three but it was "hoped, " Tomlin said.
- Tomlin continues to reiterate that he likely won't name a starting QB for week 1 in an attempt to keep the Atlanta Falcons guessing.
- Tomlin confirmed that Maurkice Pouncey will start at center. Justin Hartwig will run with the second team.
- Cornerback Bryant McFadden (pectorial) will not play and Keenan Lewis will start at left cornerback. Will Allen as expected will start at safety in place of Ryan Clark.
Tomlin hinted that Greg Warren's roster spot could be in jeopardy.
