Around this time last year, a light went on for Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor, who was entering his third season. Coach Bill Cowher is thinking the same thing could be happening for third-year cornerback Ricardo Colclough. Cowher said Wednesday that Colclough is having the best camp of his career. The trick is to keep it up.
"I remember telling him after the first week that he'd played well," Cowher said. "I told him he'd done this in the past and then gone into little lulls. Can he sustain it? I'll say this: To this point, he has sustained it. I'm not ready to say he's there. We've played two games in the preseason. But I do like the manner with which he's playing. He seems a very focused player."
Cowher hadn't yet decided whether Colclough or Bryant McFadden would start in place of injured Deshea Townsend (thumb) on Friday at Philadelphia. Colclough practiced with the first team yesterday.
