Ben Speaks Out

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories...teelers-locker-room-is-perfectly-fine-677376/

I'm glad Ben spoke up, here. Even if he's not being 100% honest, it doesn't matter: he seemed to come down hard on any suggestion that there are issues in that locker room, and we needed to hear that. Rarely has Ben been so fiery.

 

I agree. This is part of his job and maybe, just maybe, he is showing some maturity by saying what he did. Doesn't matter if he was completely honest or not. To the outside the should present a united front and work out the issues behind the closed doors. I hope this is Ben evolving!

 

It is probably safer to blame a poor season on fuzzy things like "leadership" or "team chemistry" than admit that your talent was lacking. With all the injuries and folks recovering from injuries, we just weren't good enough last year.

 

I'm glad he spoke out. We need to put an end to this before mini camps, and training camps because all it creates is a distraction. The media feeds off of this, but the last thing we need after an 8-8 season is a distraction going into this season.

 

Well shoot!
There goes the offseason media propaganda misconceptions. What will they ever talk about now?

If this team is truely PO'd about this past 8-8 season then I can't wait til camp starts. I want to see a serious attitude from this 2013 roster. From the head coach right down to the punter. The Steelers are well overdue for a season where they put up consistent double digit scoring wins. Hopefully these guys can deliver but only time will tell how disgusted they were with the mediocrity that was exhibited last year.

 

Media propaganda? It was our own players saying this stuff. Can't blame the media on this.

 

Wow! Maybe Ben is FINALLY developing into the kind of leader he's capable of being. I've been a little frustrated with Ben over his lack of leadership up to this point in his career. It's nice to see him speaking up and taking the bull by the horns here.

 

If it was a rumor that started this then the media is pouring gasoline on it. If it was indeed stated by a player then I take back what I say.

 

I'm glad he spoke up. Not that it will stop the media from trying to create bigger stories out of smaller issues, but I'm glad he said something.

 

good for him. we have a division to take from the defending champs. let's rock.

 

man that Woodley story and anonymous quote is the best thing to happen to this team. They are going to get together and rally around it....

 

Ben is now officially the leader of this team...he had to speak out and did. Well done!!

 

Maybe he is taking his new found fatherly instincts into the locker room

 

I truely believe that the best thing to happen to Ben was to have a son of his own. If that doesn't change a person then nothing ever will.

 

This team needs to shut up and play better football,this is the Pittsburgh Steelers not the New York Jets.

 

"i went back to the old playbook"

like Fats Domino sang

Bravo Ben.

 

I remember when a coach one time called Lloyd and acted like he was a player from another team we were about to face ( Jacksonville I think) to motivate him. If I remember right he was in a bit of a slump, think it was his last year with the Steelers.
