Bill Cowher was on Sirius NFL radio earlier talking with Pat Kirwan about HBO Hard Knocks and the Steelers. Cowher says he is strongly against allowing cameras at training camp.
“I think the commish and I would be having a talk on Park Avenue, because I don’t think that would happen.” ‘There’s too many things that take place, it’s a sacred place. To put it on public display- it’s not necessary. There’s tough decisions that are made…that’s the making of a foundation of trust that’s built there…I think sometimes having a camera in there is a violation of that. I feel really strongly about that.’
Is it too late for the Steelers this year, or do you think they still have a chance?
‘They’ve dug a hole. Everyone else is 3-2 in the division…they’re 0 and 4. You can’t worry about them [other teams]. The thing they need to do right now is get a win. Defensively, they’ve got to find a way to get some turnovers, and not give up the big plays. To me, it’s about getting back to the basics. I still think they’ve got enough talent to make a run. Whether or not they’ve dug a hole…there’s very little margin for error. You have a pro bowl, hall of fame quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger, Troy’s running around better than he has in the last couple years…you never know…first thing they need to do is win one game.’
