too many injuries to count<\/a> on defense and still claw their way to the playoffs. Through it all, his biggest takeaway was Tomlin\u2019s ability to get the most out of players.<\/p>\n\u201cOne thing that I learned from being there is, you\u2019re gonna see guys with Coach Tomlin, they\u2019re gonna play almost at their best very, very frequently,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cThat\u2019s just the kind of operation that he runs\u2026he really gives that to his players to be able to step in and be themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are a few notable exceptions, but there aren\u2019t too many departed Steelers over the years who have gone on to perform better elsewhere. That is a testament to Tomlin\u2019s ability to get the most out of his players.<\/p>\n
We saw flashes of it last season when Russell Wilson suddenly passed for 684 yards and four TDs over a two-game stretch. Getting the most out of Rodgers would look even better than that if he\u2019s able to do it.<\/p>\n
Aaron Rodgers had just five wins last season with the New York Jets on a fairly talented roster. However, it was a young roster that required more than just a quarterback to reach the next level. The Steelers at least have a core of veteran leaders and an established head coach with a history of being competitive in the regular season.<\/p>\n
It will be up to Rodgers to help get them over that hump and into the win column of their playoff record for the first time in almost a decade, but he doesn\u2019t need to create something from nothing to get there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 offense is no stranger to veteran free agents on one-year deals as of late.
