The Pittsburgh Steelers have no plans to change Keeanu Benton’s position at this point in time, head coach Mike Tomlin said. Slotted in at nose tackle, Benton has played there for the last two seasons, but had alarming struggles against the run on Sunday against the New York Jets.
“There’s no real strong consideration of moving people around at this juncture, and Keeanu is expected to get better from Game 1 to Game 2 like everyone else,” Tomlin said. “I think it’s a reasonable expectation. At least it is for me. I think once you’ve been in the stadium and you’ve played 60 minutes of football, you know something about yourselves that you didn’t going into it. And I think that knowledge, that experience — individually and collectively — is a catalyst for improvement between Game 1 and Game 2.”
