Mike Tomlin: Important that Steelers don’t ‘ooze to a finish’

Much to the delight of Mike Tomlin, slime was non-existent during Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 training camp.

As summer practices came to a bittersweet close for the 57th year in Latrobe, Tomlin praised not only employees who’ve served the Steelers during their stay but also his 90-man training camp squad.

“Good work out here today,” Tomlin said of his players in his final press conference from Latrobe. “Finished with an exclamation point, liked the energy and enthusiasm.”

“It’s important that we don’t ooze to a finish in anything that we do, whether it’s a play or a drive, a half, a game, training camp,” said Tomlin. “We just try to make it a point to finish everything we do with an exclamation point. I like the spirit that they brought today. I thought it was reflective in the energy that they had.”

Pittsburgh’s seasons have oozed to a finish recently, but hopes are that changes with talent at quarterback.

The Steelers ended camp with a joint practice against the Buffalo Bills, the visiting team for Pittsburgh’s final home game of the 2024 preseason. The team travels to Detroit to take on the Lions for its Aug. 24 preseason finale.
