Steelers DBs Ryan Clark, Ike Taylor Upset With Local Media

Two Steelers defensive backs have taken offense with media coverage of the team and the secondary, in particular. On Wednesday, free safety Ryan Clark called reporters that cover the team "turds," and cornerback Ike Taylor said he feels betrayed by the Pittsburgh media. "We just don't understand how the national media don't bash us, but our local media do," Taylor said. "This has been going on since the (Kansas City) game, how y'all have been writing. We're like, 'Dang, if you're going to write something, write the whole story — offense, defense and special teams.' If you're going to write something, don't pick a particular position out and what changes you think need to be made because it's unfair to the player.
"It's totally unfair, and we've already got enough pressure on us in the secondary anyway just for the tradition we have over here. We feel like if y'all are going to write something, state facts, don't state opinions." The Steelers have yielded a handful of big passing plays during the five-game skid that has left them with a remote chance of making the playoffs.

Our Corners have played horrid this year. So why not bash them and the rest of the Secondary. They are just going for hits instead of the ball, they don't look for the ball at all, and can't tackle.
