Alle Pittsburgh Steelers' erfarne spillere har gennem årene kun spillet under den tidligere træner Mike Tomlin. Med Mike McCarthy som ny cheftræner i Pittsburgh stod han imidlertid over for en udfordring: at integrere veteranerne i en helt ny træningsmetode og spillestil.
Men resultatet har overgået forventningerne. McCarthy udtaler til medierne, at veteranernes villighed til at tilpasse sig og engagere sig i den nye tilgang er "fremragende".
"Spillerne har virkelig taget imod coachingen og er ivrige efter at komme i gang," siger McCarthy. "Den indsats, de har vist, er enestående."
Den tidligere Green Bay Packers-træner fremhæver også, at han som ny cheftræner har haft en fordel: to ekstra uger i offseason-programmet til at lære spillerne at kende og implementere sin spillestil.
"Det er fantastisk, at vi får disse to ekstra uger," udtaler McCarthy. "Det giver mig tid til at undervise spillerne i min måde at gøre tingene på, og indtil videre er jeg meget tilfreds med deres respons."
