Last week's starting roster, both offense and defense, were the youngest in Mike Tomlin's tenure with the Steelers. Offense=3.7 yrs, defense=4.4 yrs. Also, during Tomlin's coaching tenure: avg starting defensive seniority=6.2, avg starting offensive seniority =4.1 So anyone still claiming the Steelers don't play the youngsters can sit down now. And as I expected, the younger the team, the more inconsistent play we would see (and more penalties).

Now the young guys are in...it had to happen at some point.
At least this year the growing pains are interspersed with some inspiring performances.sigpic
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women. -
YA and the fact that we are in a division race and wild card race... Time to get ready for Tennessee. I know the Steelers will find a way to make things happen when it matters most. One week at a time. No past. No future. Just this present game. LETS GO STEELERS!!sigpicComment

Interesting observation.
Another way to look at it is why have we gotten so much younger all of a sudden? Seems there's a little bit of necessity because a lot of guys that Tomlin/Colbert drafted earlier in their tenure weren't so good or aren't still here.
I'd be interested in where the numbers were every year under Tomlin. Is there a trend? Also curious what the averages are for SuperBowl winners? Or even the teams with the best records in a given year? Curious how much this matters or what it really means.sigpicComment
