This team lacks leadership (duh, right?)

Where is all the indignation? Where is that person that gets in the faces of their teammates and tells them that they aren't doing their job? We really miss Jenks. I'm sorry guys, but our players are just too damned reserved. Everyone has become a Fox clone of sorts, spewing out that same ol' dry it-is-what-it-is philosophy. Who is the Ray Lewis of the bunch? THe team is too damned nice. We need someone to fire this team up from the coaches on down, and require some personal responsibility. The entire team is starting to get that Chris Carr, deer in the headlights, I'm lost mentality (even the veterans). Where is the outrage? Where is the fire? This monotone, robotic, company line ish is old. Someone needs to give every person in the the organizaiton a kick in the arse. There should be no smiles for the next 10 days because there is really nothing to smile about. Even Smitty seems to have been enveloped by the funk. Someone needs to take a cowbell and wake their arses up with some truth, and see if that doesn't get the season started in earnest.

I used to think it was sort of humorous when I heard players spouting Foxisms, but now it's just disconcerting. I sincerely believe Fox's lack of passion has rubbed off on several players, and that a new face could do wonders for this franchise (and I've long been an advocate of Fox).

We have leadership and from all the fist pounding on the ground after giving up yards all night there was lots of frustration and fire. I kept hearing myself say that instead of fist pounding after giving up another pass or run, how about executing on the play and being where you are supposed to be. There were enough missed assignments for a season in the Dallas game alone.

    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it. 
    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
