Painted them into a corner he did.....they came out swinging.
I did not like his yapping at the times but.......how can one argue the results?
Ben RESPONDED TO THE CRITICISMS WITH:
His highest percentage of the season
Highest QB rating
0 turnovers
And you will recall he did not just criticize Ben but said "we" need to help Ben so he doesnt feel he "needs" to force things by himself.
Yes, Clark put pressure on the team and himself "painting himself in a corner" with playoff talk but the the team came out swinging like it has not done all season.
And Clark himself came through big by finally ending our zero turnover drought.
We keep talking about the "void" in veteran leadership.
Seems to me we just saw it.

In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
Maybe you guys are right, but Clark's yapping didn't sound the least bit motivating to my ears, and I haven't read/heard anything to suggest it actually was.
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
• As Ben Roethlisberger shook off what appeared to be a dead-certain safety in the first quarter Sunday against the Jets, I thought about Ryan Clark. Would Clark have preferred Roethlisberger "tone down" his act and take the safety rather than risking a touchdown by losing the ball while fighting off tacklers?
