Sports radio and TV personality Colin Cowherd never holds back when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his latest tirade against the Steelers, Cowherd played squarely against quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his preparation and philosophy and how it relates to the problem the Steelers are in.
Cowherd even went so far as to sell the Steelers their soul for Roethlisberger. He expressed his lack of off-season preparation, poor training habits, the simplistic offense that Pittsburgh tackles and his inability to work with top talent.
Hard words and the first time I listened to it, I was not a little happy. But after unpacking everything Cowherd said, he may not be that far. This team has always gone as far as Roethlisberger will get them, and for the past ten years it has not been in the Super Bowl. It may be time for Pittsburgh to pull the plug, so to speak, and start this franchise again.
