Roethlisberger says 08'ers club will meet Wednesday

Quote :: By Dave Bryan

After starting 0-2 for the first time in his career, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Tuesday morning on his weekly radio show that the veteran guys on the roster are going to have a meeting Wednesday in order to hash out what they need to do to get the team in the win column.

"We're going to sit down and talk and figure out a way to right the ship and make sure that these young guys know that this is unacceptable, and it starts with all of us older guys," said Roethlisberger. "We all have to be leaders and step up and show these guys what the Steeler way is and that when we step in stadiums, and we have that black and gold on our backs and there's a certain level of excellence that goes with that, and we need to get back to that."

Roethlisberger said he talked to safety Ryan Clark in the locker room after the 20-10 loss Monday night to the Cincinnati Bengals and both agreed that the 08'ers, the 12 veteran players still on the team from the 2008 season, would meet Wednesday.

"This is unchartered for us guys that have been around here and Steeler Nation and Steeler fans," said Roethlisberger. "This is not what we're all used to. So it's something that we need to make sure that we reiterate with the young guys and get on them."

This is the kind of positive leadership that has been missing for a while.
