Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Tomlin didn't want to say too much about the situation, acknowledging that police in Georgia are still investigating a 20-year-old female college student's accusation against Roethlisberger. "My concerns are many," the coach said. "But I think at this time it's kind of appropriate to watch these things and let these things run their course. I think it would be inappropriate for me to have strong feelings one way or another with the investigation being ongoing and so forth. ..." Clearly the team is worried but taking a wait-and-see approach; Tomlin's statements echoed what team president Art Rooney said last week. ... So stay tuned. That's what the Steelers are doing.
