## Resource

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the lack of tackling at practice, which head coach Mike McCarthy announced on Tuesday will not happen this year -- a first for ever in the history of the Steelers. So what does practice without tackling look like, what are the rules, who does it benefit the most, who will it harm the most, and how does the rest of the NFL do it?
