Pickens Drama

We have a WR coach

Why wasn’t he all over his ass

 

You hit it on the head with AB. After the trade, the talk was Tomlin was a better coach and controlled AB's drama much more than anyone had realized. So much came out after trade that no one realized.

 

It's been talked about quite a bit in town. All things Steeler related usually grab the most airtime.

 

There have been more then a few diva wide receivers on this team.

Is anyone surprised? His BS tantrum sure triggered most. He is a talent.

That being said Canada needs to get this kid more involved. He can be a game changer.

This team hasn't scored 30 yet. You need to have a quick strike passing game. Not hanging on to a wing and prayer till the 4th quarter.

 

I don't know. I can give multiple players that while a bit of a problem here, but when gone are out of the league quickly. S. Holmes, AB, and L. Bell. All come to mind. While here were productive, and as soon as let go where out of the league pretty fast. So in My mind He's doing something right. I guess nobody will bring up the $hit Miami is going through with T. Hill, Raiders with their Wr....it's league wide.

 

This. He did it with Ab, S. Holmes, and L. Bell. Look how productive they were for us, and how fast they were out of the league after leaving Tomlin.

 

Facebook live from the locker room was AB under control?

 

And he was corrected for that and it didn’t happen again

 

The local media has been saying Pickens has been drawing more double teams, if that's true then Pickett shouldn't be forcing the ball to him just to make Pickens happy, the team won so he needs to grow up and stop pouting.

 

The fact that these thing happen to begin with is the problem in my opinion.
Pickens has been pouting around all season. Should’ve already been addressed.

 

The damage was done.

 

That's the stretchiest of stretches.

 

Bro, I am 100% right. DJ has the PROVEN and RARE ability to defeat a variety of NFL coverages. This is one reason why the Steelers extended Johnson. Making the once in a while great catch doesn't make Pickens a better WR.

Pickens is still learning the game and pouting when things don't go his way (even when the Steelers win). Pickens won't be extended and will be possibly traded if he doesn't get his act together.

I've seen it before. Cris Carter was traded. A long list of WR's were traded or cut. Holmes was traded. Claypool was traded. Pickens could be next.

 

Is it not true???

 

I will say it's true of one player. Tomlin got the most he possibly could have out of Ben after his sticky allegations, and he was out of the league very shortly after Tomlin cut him loose. I think they're finally done paying him too.

 

Actually I agree with him

 

I'm not surprised.

 

Well

We know football

 

The fact that Brown went crazy further off the edge says how much tomlin kept him down.

 

You mean leaving Ben.

 

Well the Steelers managed to win with Pickens catching. Minus one yard. Imagine if this kid was a adult. If he continues this child like behavior against the Packers. He should be benched or better yet ,let him watch the game from the locker room.

 

I don't believe any team in NFL is averaging 30 pts a game. The great one Pat Mahomes I think threw for a whopping 180 yesterday/

 

DJ isn’t a number one receiver. He is complimentary. I like him but not as the priority target. He is having success right now because GP is drawing double coverage. He has lapses in games where he drops the ball and he isn’t very good with YAC. He is diminutive and avoids contact. Again a great complimentary WR but should not be the central focus of the Offense.

 

I noticed that on that TD play to DJ. He wasn’t putting forth much effort. It is obvious the play was going to DJ. Hopefully he gets his head on straight. The Steelers are fortunate to have that talent on the team. Hopefully he will heed the advice of guys like Hines Ward who have come out and chastised him.

 

Young people are not exactly known for heading the advice of older people
