The Pittsburgh Steelers head into their Week 6 matchup in opposition to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 1-4 document and take a seat on the backside of the AFC North (and AFC as an entire) standings. There had been a ton of people that had been important of what has long past on inside the group this season and previous Super Bowl profitable protection, Ryan Clark has been on the best of that record. After the embarrassing 38-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, he didn’t turn away as soon as once more on Monday morning when he ripped into the workforce’s effort and put the blame on head trainer, Mike Tomlin.

Former Steelers Safety Ryan Clark Blasts His Favorite Coach Mike Tomlin: “You Have To Have This Team Ready To Play”
Clark doesn’t imagine that the blokes within the locker room don’t need to be successful, however best thinks one participant competed from the primary to ultimate whistle on Sunday.
“I am in no way saying that those men didn’t want to win. What I’m saying is from the outside looking in, only one strained the entire day and it was the quarterback.”
The former protection even stated that Kenny Pickett, in his opinion, will be the best man welcome within the 2008 locker room.
“The only one on this team that I’d take in 2008 to go down an alley with me, is the young kid that’s playing quarterback. He’s the only one who wanted something yesterday.”
ESPN NFL Nation reporter, Brooke Pryor, requested Tomlin about Clark’s feedback and to the marvel of no person, the pinnacle trainer had no clue what she used to be initially alluding to when asking him what his ideas have been on former gamers calling out the 2022 squad.
“I have no idea what you are referring to,” Tomlin stated.

Pryor needed to then give an explanation for to Tomlin that Clark went on tv after the cruel loss and referred to as out the Steelers for his or her efforts on Sunday afternoon. After a brief pause and sigh, Tomlin used to be very blunt:
“Ryan is paid for commentary. So, I understand that and I think our guys understand that. I mean he’s on ESPN every single day and so it’s his job to talk about what transpired. We realize how poorly we played on Sunday.”
He endured talking at the query, however his former participant’s feedback don’t impact him. He is directly to getting ready for Tampa.
“We don’t dispute anything that somebody says from a commentary perspective or or dig too much into it and things of that nature. Man, we got so much to work on in terms of what’s going on in here and preparation for our next opportunity. [Clark’s comments] are irrelevant.”
Tomlin can have have shyed away from pronouncing the rest unfavorable directed at Clark, however extensive receiver Diontae Johnson didn’t do the similar factor on Monday afternoon when he used to be requested about what used to be stated on ESPN.

“I don’t worry about R.C. He played here. He knows how the Steelers play. If you wanna come play, he can come help us win if he’s got so much to say. But other than that, I am going to be keep playing football and worry about me and my team.”
Regardless, Tomlin necessarily stated in some way that the workforce merits the grievance from Clark and others as they have got no longer carried out any place on the subject of the expectancies this season and on Sunday particularly.
