I don't want to read too much into that answer, as it should mostly be treated as exactly what it is, which is a hilarious example of how paranoid and self-important football coaches can be while considering themselves "detail oriented". I mean, to be so sure that scouts have traveled from far and wide to the outskirts of Pittsburgh to secretly spy on Steelers' practices using remote control aircrafts that you erect some ridiculous tarp that's about as good a preventive measure as a "Beware Of Dog" sign in front of an unfenced yard is beyond preposterous. That, however, kind of fits with most completely unnecessary, non-football related things that NFL coaches concern themselves with out of some nonsensical hope that it'll help them win even one more game. That being said, it being this particular football coach who apparently has a tin foil cap towards technology tucked neatly under his hat makes me want to scream. As if "drones, and so forth" (would love to know what "so forth" is in reference to, by the way) are what's going to sabotage the season of a team that annually implodes from within due to a lead of leadership. I'm no Bill Cowher, but if you wanted to get the absolute most out a highly skilled group that perennially underachieves when it matters wouldn't you start by...oh, I don't know...holding them accountable for once? Mike Tomlin seems about as familiar with enforcing responsibility as he does with the potential flight patterns of drones, as the construction of that obstruction would lead you believe that he thinks they are merely brainless, low-flying mechanical birds that might shit out batteries onto his players. He should probably study up on both so as to not look or sound stupid, but I think I'd start with the former. Not only because prioritizing professionalism falls under his job description, but also because the only person liable to fly a drone over Steelers' camp would be Antonio Brown while broadcasting live via his SnapChat and the only person liable to blame it for his mistakes would be Ben Roethlisberger.
