I have seen clips on twitter the last few days that pretty much confirm that it's Tomlins coaching that get these guys going.
Pickens has issues, but Tomlin shows patience with him and identifies his struggles and pushes him to be better.
To be honest, I have thought Tomlin was more of a motivator, but he is a smart coach with details. He called the strip sack of Burrow in the meeting with his players.
