Starkey: Players will make or break Steelers' new coordinator

[Lady Steel]

How do you say goodbye to a legend?

It's one of those awkward dilemmas in professional sports, and whether it's an athlete, coach, executive or broadcaster, there is no graceful method. Especially when the legend doesn't want to leave.

So it was for the Steelers with outgoing defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. He wanted to stay. The Steelers wanted him to leave.

Awk-ward.

Pretty much says it all!

Another player who comes to mind is cornerback Cortez Allen, he of the $26 million contract. Taylor insisted Allen was injured “in more ways than people can imagine” last season.
“It came to a point where I'm like, ‘Tez, man, you gotta tell them you're hurt. It's making you look bad,' ” Taylor said.


Interesting quote about Cortez Allen.

Interesting quote about Cortez Allen.

I had been saying all along , it is more than mental aspects of the game ..... this just helps validate it a little more ( but still not concrete )

Interesting quote about Cortez Allen.

I agree. I was shocked when I read that.

Then what the hell WAS wrong with Cortez? First Mitchell, now Cortez. Did he have ulcers or something? At least Tomlin shut him down after he made a goat of himself, but it sounds very Limas Sweedesque.

Limas, for what it's worth, seems like he's doing pretty well now: http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2014/11/06/where-are-they-now-texas-wr-limas-sweed

I wouldn't emulate the Pat's defense as stated in the article, I would look at the Seahawks or Bills.
