Core Fundamentals of the "Steelers Six" training camp approach.

This was conveyed by Magic Mike McCarthy
In regards to six core daily fundamentals focused on during training camp:

• Ball security: Protecting the football and avoiding costly turnovers during high-tempo play.

• Blocking: Sustained, assignment-accurate execution in the trenches.

• Tackling and breaking tackles: Maximizing contact efficiency while managing body wear.

• Big plays: Creating explosive opportunities on both sides of the ball.

• Finish / Pursuit: Maintaining high-speed pursuit angles and completing every play through the whistle.

• Mannerisms / Disguises: Refining pre-snap defensive looks and offensive presentation to fool opponents. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Yinz heard of band of the hand ?

This is six for a fix… or for kicks..

I had a coach who was all about pursuit. We practiced pursuit angles using ghost runners and stuff.. i thought it stupid at the time.

I like that approach! Never heard that kind of talk before at camp the past 19 seasons. It was always stupid Tomlinisms that the media thought was cute.
