The Pittsburgh Steelers have had quite a few interesting tidbits with how they practice. With Mike McCarthy running the show now, they have stopped tackling during the week.
Steeler Nation reports that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy has introduced rigorous Saturday practices before games, replacing typical walkthrough sessions.

The article also criticizes Pittsburgh's late travel schedule ahead of their Week 7 international matchup in Paris against the New Orleans Saints. Combining late overseas travel with demanding Saturday workouts will put the team at a significant disadvantage, according to Steeler Nation.
