PITTSBURGH -- For all of the Pittsburgh Steelers' additions this offseason, something that wasn't there caught T.J. Watt's attention during OTAs and minicamp practices.
"You don't see benches out here anymore," Watt said. "It's just interesting because there's... there's many different ways to do things. We're just doing things much different than what I'm used to over the last nine years, and it's good. Change is good for me."
There has been a lot of that since former coach Mike Tomlin resigned in January and Mike McCarthy was hired a few weeks later.
For longtime defensive captain Cameron Heyward, that means also getting used to parking next to a different car in the team lot after spending much of the past 16 seasons next to Tomlin.
"It's a different challenge," Heyward said. "I've just tried to be open to it, just try to learn. It's not like there can only be one good coach in the league, and I've always admired Coach McCarthy from afar and just want to learn. I think that's the easiest thing you can do is put your ego aside and just learn from great coaches."
