YoloinOhio Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) @adamschefter Ben Roethlisberger calls out Steelers on discipline, accountability: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18044058/ben-roethlisberger-pittsburgh-steelers-undisciplined-not-accountable "We are undisciplined and not accountable," Roethlisberger said from his locker. "That's why (the Cowboys) are one of the best in the business and we're not right now." When asked how the team got to that point, Roethlisberger said, "I don't know. Is it players? Is it coaches? I don't know, but we need to get there quick." Edited November 14, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The Steelers' roster is similar to ours, in that they have drafted and signed a lot of knuckeheads and have a players' coach who does little to rein them in. The difference is that they have a top-five QB and their scouts understand how to evaluate receiver and tight end prospects; our scouts suck at doing this.

YoloinOhio Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 This is after Ben already addressed with Tomlin. This tweet is from early Sunday. The fact he even had to do this with the HC is ridiculous. @akinkabwala As told to me, Ben Roethlisberger had lengthy heart-to-heart w/ Mike Tomlin. QB wants greater seriousness of purpose from younger Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreezeMafia Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have no problem with this, none at all. Especially with how Le'Veon / Brown / and all the rest try to talk the talk with that wannabe ass kickin swagger. I applaud Ben. Time for the young guys to flip the switch from talking to walking and leave the thuggery at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) It's not the first time he's called out the coaches this year. He said that he thought their TC and practices were too hard and it was leading to too many injuries. I think he knows the window is closing but he played poorly vs Ravens so he needs to own that too. With the financial commitment they have to Ben I think Tomlin is on thin ice if Ben ultimately wants a change.

CardinalScotts Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 well they have a few on drug suspended list every year, Ben keeps them competitve, defense has sucked since LeBeau left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 He has always had a penchant for saying little things like that or contradicting the coaches on injury status. These comments get a lot of eye rolls from the steeler fans here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's best to keep that stuff in-house. Not at all. I have heard him make little digs like this about cowher and Haley too, as well as some of his receivers throughout the years. I am not sure if it's because he's a tad goofy, but these things always seem to blow over. It probably helps too when they start winning again and all is forgotten.

Their defense got trucked yesterday (by a very dominant o-line) and by the end of the game their will had been broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tu-Toned Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 As far as physical tools, arm strength, toughness, and durability, Ben goes, really unmatched in this league, but I don't consider him to be the sharpest tool in the shed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Tomlin is not Rex Ryan......Tomlin runs a much tighter ship in Steel City. They have a subpar defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
