James Harrison said it was bull that Lebeau is the trouble with the defense. Ten years of being a top 10 defense was due to the players being able to take care of their job/man on the field what made past defenses work. James is blaming the players on the current roster for our woes. I agree with him but I also want to pick out the fact or question, " who is selecting these players and coaching these players ? " The troubles start at the top with poor draft picks. Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't or isn't the 2008 and 2009 selections a total bust ? Not only are they no longer Steeler players but not even in the NFL ?
I have a personal gripe about our Steelers. When Wallace was showing talent I'm saying to myself, sign him now before the next two years when he's a free agent. That is just one gripe. Then there is keeping old guys, waiting too late for young guys to get a start. Lebeau saying it takes 3 years to learn a defense. Three years ? That is totally too long. He might be great but he needs to find a way to get these guys on the field to prove their worth before their second contract is an issue.
