Award-winning columnist Dejan Kovacevic covers Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, Pitt and more Mon, 28 Sep 2015 13:42:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.3 http://dkpittsburghsports.com/?p=4448/comment-page-1/#comment-41057 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 03:53:21 +0000 http://dkonpittsburghsports.com/?p=4448#comment-41057 Unless you know these guys personally, we don’t know their “personalities” except for what they show in front of the media. We really don’t have much to go on about who is, and who is not, showing leadership behind closed doors. Rooney and Tomlin have made it that way.

I’m not talking about the “players.” Noll was something special. Players with a special internal fire such as the great Jack Lambert have stated, “You just wanted to do your best for him.” Who says that about Tomlin?

Heard a stat Tomlin is 1-9 against teams with .200 record in his last 10 against those teams, WOW!!!

.
The Standard is the Standard.
.
And that Standard is to lose to TB and the NYJ.

I see a lot of parallels between the Steelers under MT and the Pens under DB.
Ugly stuff.

Hurt us with his running today. Problem is, if you do that, need guys in secondary who can tackle. Very thin there, especially with Ike and Troy out.
.
That said, would have taken my chances with same approach today.

All the guys above that let their play do the talking.
.
Well, except for Porter.
