Super Bowl Champion Ryan Clark says the Steelers 'have reached a new low'

The Pittsburgh Steelers have put out a disappointing product this season.
Sure they have a division win over one of the best defenses (Cleveland) in the league and a primetime win against the Raiders.
But even in the wins, the team and more specifically the offense, looks like a shell of themselves, something Ryan Clark has had enough of:
'It's Absolutely A New Low'
“It absolutely is a new low," Clark said on ESPN's Get-Up on Monday. "When a defense that has any pride, when a defense that believes in itself goes against a rookie, you go win. They were out-coached, they were out-executed, they were out-played, and point blank, the Houston Texans wanted it more. Stop bumping your head up against the Matthew Canada wall. Send him back. Wherever you want to send him. Send him back to Pitt. Hell, I’d even take him back at LSU. It is sickening what you saw yesterday from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I expect wholesale changes.” I second the thoughts and opinions of Clark. Yes, the offensive struggles and ineptitude of OC Matt Canada are well-documented at this point. But outside of Cam Heyward, this was a defense that had every starter on the field and let the Texans drop 30 on them.
And obviously playing defense is much harder when your offense can't stay on the field. But when Pickett went out, the defense all but laid down on that field, or so it seemed to the trained eye. So wholesale change should probably occur if this keeps up, but Pittsburgh has a history of righting their wrongs, and getting the ship back on course. We'll see if that happens this year.
