PITTSBURGH — It’s not his nature to call out individuals on his team, but Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is not happy with what he has seen from certain players this season.

Front and center: Outside linebacker Jason Worilds, wide receiver Markus Wheaton and cornerback Cortez Allen.

Worilds has two sacks in six games. That’s not the kind of production the Steelers expected out of a player they named as their transition player and are paying nearly $10 million this season.

“He’s had some good games and performance in pockets of games,” Tomlin said, “and he’s had some games where he’s been less impactful. We’re compensating him to be consistently impactful and that’s what we’re searching for.”

Wheaton is in his second year, his first as a starter alongside Antonio Brown. He caught four passes for 33 yards out of the 11 thrown to him in Cleveland. He caught six for 97 in the opener against the Browns.

“He’s got to do a better job,” said Tomlin. “We made plays in the opener, particularly offensively, Markus Wheaton being one of the central guys in that area. We didn’t make situational plays last Sunday and that’s why we lost.”

Tomlin did not cite cornerback Cortez Allen, who received a five-year, $26 million contract in August. But he might as well have when he noted that backup Brice McCain “obviously under the circumstances because of some of the inconsistent play of others, he’s under consideration for more playing time.”

Offensive coordinator Todd Haley did not escape Tomlin’s critique. Although not mentioned by name, Haley’s offense ranks 31st in the NFL in the red zone and that has been a major focus of the problem with them ranking sixth in yards in the NFL but just 23rd in scoring.

Tomlin acknowledged that his offense’s game plan in the red zone might be part of the problem, not to mention the players they’re picking down there.

“There’s no question, not only about game planning but who we’re utilizing. Schematics and the personnel that we’re utilizing needs to be evaluated,” Tomlin said.

A player who might benefit from that evaluation is 6-foot-4 rookie wide receiver Martavis Bryant. He has not suited up for a game yet but looks as though he will this Sunday and might be used the way he was at Clemson, where 13 of his 61 receptions went for touchdowns.

“Fades,” Bryant said as to where he excels.
