to a point perhaps But by the time Tomlin went to his second SB with the steelers there were very few Cowher holdovers ....
that said I think this problem is above Tomlin and his staff ( not that they are not a big part of it )
it all starts with drafting , Colbert has not been able to identify quality talent at the corner pos and quite frankly the jury is still out in terms of safeties as Davis isnt a great measuring stick , Shamarko stunk and really nobody prior was worth his salt either ...
secondary issues have plagued this team since Colbert arrived and have never truly been solved ...
now the question remains is it lack of talent or lack of development by the coaching staff or some combination of both ... I am putting my money on the later ...
many of us here were big fans of Desmond King we let him get past us 4 times and took Sutton in round 3 ... King is making waves Sutton cant cover his own ass ..... so is it Identifying the talent or refining it ??
