Does Steelers' Mike Tomlin deserve blame after Diontae Johnson, others admit taking Arizona lightly?
On the weekly Chipped Ham and Football podcast, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner welcomes former Penn State and Steelers standout Justin King to sort through Diontae Johnson's recent comments about the team's NFL Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. How could a locker room of professionals take that team "lightly" despite its 2-10 record? How much blame does coach Mike Tomlin deserve for that mentality compared to his players? And do Tomlin's bad losses stand out more because of their rarity? Our duo tackles those topics and the defensive communication issues caused by injuries to linebackers Elandon Roberts, Kwon Alexander and Cole Holcomb. Justin also offers his thoughts on the growth of Joey Porter Jr., who he once recruited to Penn State and the team's chances this week on Thursday Night Football against the New England Patriots.
