News and Notes

Reed has been absolved by the Steelers for his poor tackling effort Sunday in an 18-12 loss to the Bengals in which he failed to bring down Bernard Scott on a 96-yard kickoff return for a TD. Advice: Reed only halfheartedly tried to bring down Scott, but coach Mike Tomlin won't blame a kicker for the latest touchdown. Kickers rarely have the speed, mobility or quickness to do more than get in the way of a returner downfield. "Man, I am not going to go down to evaluating Jeff Reed as a tackler," Tomlin said. "When it comes down to that, we have failed as a coverage unit. I don't lose any sleep on the quality of Jeff Reed's tackles." |
