Steelers coach Mike Tomlin promises a co | general | Forum

On a two-game losing streak, JuJu Smith-Schuster danced.And now its a three-game losing streak for the Steelers.There is not a correlation between these two events, but there is a connection. And Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he plans to take some action relative to Smith-Schusters pregame exhibitions.Smith-Schusters pregame dances on the opposing teams logo when playing on the road recorded and distributed through the LeBron James Jersey social media site TikTok became an i sue when his footwork on the Bills logo in Week 14 caught the attention of his opponents.Buffaloquarterback Josh Allen was filmed saying in a pre-game tunnel meeting, Let them do all the talking, all the fing dancing. We fing work.And it was cemented when the Steelers were in Cincinnati by the two-win Bengals, 27-17, following another routine, this one on the center logo at Quentin Harris Jersey Paul Brown Stadium. Afterward, the player who created the pivotal play in the game suggested he was motivated at least in part by Smith-Schusters taunts.MORE:Asked a week ago about what transpired in Buffalo, Tomlin said he was unaware of what his veteran wideout was doing during warmups.Asked during his pre s conference Tuesday, he said, I am aware of it and I do plan to talk to JuJu. But were profe sionals. I doubt any of those antics and things of that nature are legitimate motivating factors as you step into profe sional stadiums.

After the game, when asked what he saw before making the pivotal hit, he responded succinctly: Dontre Wilson Jersey 19."The Steelers next game is against the Colts at home, so one imagines Smith-Schuster can dance on the logo at Heinz Field without offending anyone from Indianapolis. But the final game is on the road against the Browns. They may not have much of a logo, but they also dont need much provocation to escalate a game against the Steelers.
