    One trick ponies don't require double-teams on nearly every snap.

    He's much more talented than you think, and much better than you think he is currently. He's 22 years old. He hasn't figured it all out yet, but you will definitely want to see him on your team if he does.

    Check this out. Sorry can't post the video as it is blocked.

    Is it me or is every offensive Steeler congratulating Pickens on his TD, but DJ on this video? Pickens is getting hammered for not Celebrating DJ's TD, but where is DJ on Pickens TD? Bad blood between DJ and Pickens???

    I didn't read anywhere why DJ did not celebrate Pickens TD; when everyone thought it was a TD.

    DJ is no where to be found in the endzone/sideline team celebration.

    But, I don't know if DJ is even on the field; I can't make out who the top WR is on that play? Is that DJ or Austin split out to the left / top ?

    Let’s hope so. Tomlin catches a lot of flack but this shouldn’t be one of them. I don’t know what some people expect him to do if they don’t think he handled AB well. Cut him immediately? Sure, could do that but I’m glad those fans don’t run the team, got 9 elite years from AB with Tomlins way.

    It was disappointing but Im not ready to give up on him, especially since a lot of his frustration is his usage. How they should be using him is how they were when DJ was out. Now they are back to limiting his rout tree which doesn’t maximize his talent. He’s basically a decoy.

    The thing I do like is after he lashes out he trys to regroup and be a good soldier, that tells me he is just very emotional and prone to outbursts, he needs to control that better and I think/hope his teammates and Tomlin can get him there.

    I remember the good old days when the fans complained if the players celebrated. Now we are parsing video to see who is not celebrating. I blame Canada.

    I don't see Najee pouting when he has to share carries with Warren, I'm sure he's not happy about it but he still acts like a professional, Pickens needs to grow up.

    Million dollar question? Will KFP have 10 td passes by end of season? As bad as Bryce Young is, he has 2 more td passes than KFP.:facepalm:

    What is Carolina's record? I see you want to see stats over winning.

    Lousy QB who is really inaccurate in a all offense rules league where you cant breath on wrs. A crummy Offensive coordinator who is really basic and calls a super conservative game because qb sucks and so does he. A wr in Pickens who is good but not great yet acting like he is Antonio Brown good. Harris and his crappy average yard per carry crying...omg. What a crapshow. We have a really good shot at 10 wins which is crazy if we just get wins we should get but I have a feeling tomlin screws the pooch against a green bay or colts and we get the new standard of 9-8.

    Wow and its all due to KFP….i hope the young man gets better, but some of you on here trying to compare him to Big Ben is absolutely delusional. At the pace KFP is going, gonna take him 3 seasons to match what Ben did even with Canada as his OC in one season!
    Btw no not concerned about stats over winning. But as much as you disagree stats are going to show who you really are in the end, esp without the splash plays our defense has been making.
    If you are Hines Ward, i miss you and wish you would come back to play for the Steelers!

    He was a head case at Ga, had my concerns when we drafted him.

    I actually worry about this in every Wr that is drafted. I see it all over the league for many many years. They are just freaking diva prone. What is more unusual is to see one that is not a head case, or a problem in today's NFL.

    Nobody is comparing him to anyone, he needs to play better and be more accurate. He knows this. Most of you so called Steeler
    fans want to see him fail thats all because we didn't draft your guy or the player you wanted.
