There is a lack of leadership in Latrobe right now. Three core players — Hines Ward, Duce Staley, and Joey Porter — are M.I.A., and the Steelers are wondering who could possibly replace them. Bill Cowher doesn’t know, either, so he’s calling the entire team out, saying someone better step up, and fast.
I’ll be looking in on this team on Monday night when they play the Eagles in a preseason game. I usually don’t waste my time on preseason games, but I want to see if there’s anything there behind this sinking feeling I’m starting to have about this year’s Steelers…
