I'm still waiting to see players fired up!!! Look at our players closely when moving on\off the field, after plays...
something is very wrong!!
Just BTW Tomlin has MORE Cowher players on defense NOW than Cowher had of Noll's team in 95'. 7 years into his coaching career and he still has Keisel, Ike, Troy, Foote and Clark. Cowher only had 3 defensive players left. Tomlin still has 5, 7 years in.
If you want to tell me that Neil O'Donnell, John Jackson, Dermontti Dawson, Greg Lloyd, Carnell Lake and Rod Woodson are "phantom" players, then just let me stop you right there...because you're just being silly at this point...
When those guys were gone, the Steelers missed the playoffs for three straight years. It happened.
Well let's see what comes up to combat that very valid point.

I'm still wondering the same thing about the Tomlin supporters except for his "win count" and the "sb" both of which prove my point about winning with a loaded team that he inherited. He hasn't proven any competence in building or developing players to replace Cowher's aging ones. Our depth sucks and our defensive play has declined sharply with the loss and aging of Cowher's players. That is no coincidence.
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
