Steelers hoping to slow record penalty pace

Oct. 9, 2012 1:53 PM ET

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Steelers are hoping the referees keep their flags tucked inside their pockets on Thursday night when Pittsburgh visits Tennessee.

The Steelers (2-2) lead the NFL with 37 penalties for 346 yards through the first month of the season and are on pace to shatter team records in both categories. Coach Mike Tomlin says his team needs to be smarter and more disciplined, particularly on penalties that come before the ball is snapped.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says the issue is focus, something that's difficult to replicate during practice.

The Steelers have done a decent job of spreading the flags around. There were five offensive penalties, three defensive penalties and one on special teams during last week's 16-14 win over Philadelphia. Tomlin says his team is shooting itself in the foot with the mistakes

I say both. Coaches must teach it,and the players have to go out there and do it. I know this team isn't like that,but the way they are playing,reminds me of Al Davis. Just Win Baby. So Mummy I agree

THIS TEAM DIDNT GET OLD...MIKE TOMLIN "LET" IT GET OLD......MIKE TOMLIN MUST GO...HES NOT A FOOTBALL MAN AND HAS TO MUCH POWER ON TEH TEAM....TOMLIN AND SEVERAL OTHERS ON TEH STAFF MUST GO.

Again, your position on this Tomlin person is ambiguous. Are you saying that you are willing to give the Super Bowl winning football god a chance?
Please expand and clarify, preferably in long rambling paragraphs that approach short-story length. afro

Pure and simple, its discipline and strength, that's the bottom line and I know I am not telling anyone that knows the game anything new, players that lack strength and quickness are usually the ones on the O-Line that get the holding calls, the discipline usually come from the D side more the strength.
