Warren: Steelers' padded practice 'most tame'

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren described the team's first padded practice under new head coach Mike McCarthy as 'the most tame, uneventful' he's seen in his five years with the team.

Warren, speaking to reporters after practice, noted the significant difference in intensity compared to previous camps. 'That was not what we're used to,' he said, highlighting the new approach to training camp under McCarthy. truewildgame.com

The comments reflect McCarthy's emphasis on player health over physical intensity, which includes a no-tackling-to-the-ground policy. This shift in philosophy marks a notable departure from the previous 20 years under Mike Tomlin.
