Will Mike Tomlin get the Pittsburgh Steelers back to the playoffs in 2008?

Mike Tomlin did a pretty good job as a rookie coach in 2007 as he led the Steelers to a 10-6 record (62.5%) during the regular season.  The puzzling thing about the Steelers in the off-season though is that they essentially did nothing to fix the biggest weakness on the team…..the offensive line.  Sure, they added more playmakers in Limas Sweed and Rashard Mendenhall but that won’t matter if the Steelers don’t get better blocking.  Coach Tomlin did not coach very well in the playoff game at home against Jacksonville as they lost 31-29 ending last season with a thud.  That game proved that Tomlin still has some things to improve on and it will be interesting to see how the Steelers do in 2008 playing a very rough schedule.  Following a Pittsburgh legend like Bill Cowher is a hard job and the only way that Tomlin will win the hearts of fans is to win a lot of games both during the regular season and it the playoffs.
