Bill Cowher rips Steelers’ George Pickens ‘Got to be consequences’…

Legendary Steelers coach Bill Cowher isn’t loving what he’s seeing from the team and wide receiver George Pickens, who showed no effort while blocking for running back Jaylen Warren on a running play in his direction near the goal line in a 30-19 loss to the Colts on Dec. 16.

“It is disappointing to see and hear what George Pickens talks about because culture really is about commitment and sacrifice,” Cowher said on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday. “You’re not just playing with one another; you’re playing for one another.”

The ex-Steelers coach then said that punishment had to handed out, although head coach Mike Tomlin said that punishment would be handled internally.

I think there’s got to be consequences for that,” Cowher said. “So, we’ll see what happens with it. He’s going to be held accountable, because you have to have accountability. If you don’t do anything and there’s no consequence to the choice that he made, now you’re losing accountability, and I think that’s a very important element that you have to have in that building.”
