Harrison: If one person doesn't get the job done ...

... it looks bad for the whole squad

By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A perturbed James Harrison suggests that if the Steelers defense cannot play better than it has, they must make some changes. He did not say who should be involved in those changes, but made it clear the defensive scheme is not to blame.

"Every man needs to do his job, take care of his responsibilities," Harrison fumed after the Houston Texans gouged his defense Sunday. "It's not the scheme, it's not other BS; it's each man doing his job, and, right now, every man is not doing his job, period."

How's that?

"People are getting beat. You have to come out there and work the man who's in front of you, and we're not doing that right now."

Harrison pointed no fingers, at least not specifically, in the direction of any individuals.

WOW!! I think Harrison said what a lot of fans are thinking ... we can't keep the status quo. Players either have to step up or sit down.

I think Harrison just turned the stove on and some players may be a little closer to the pot of hot water than others.

I just hope that thing doesn't have to get brought to a boil and they are able to get things back on track.

I don't think things can get back on track until some changes are made, on both sides of the ball. I'm not giving up on the season. We can turn it around, but certain players need to be replaced. It's been a long time since I remember our defense looking as bad as it did in the first quarter against the Texans.

Go on James, layeth the smacketh down on their candy arses
