    That wasn't the only two reasons he was upset. He said he'd have a great week of practice and they featured him a lot during those practices, he'd get praise from the coaching staff on his practice and then show up on game day and be told he wasn't dressed. A healthy scratch. He talked to Tomlin who said dont worry we are going to need you down the stretch, we will get you on the field and then didn't. He was upset that instead of being men and saying we have two high draft picks that are playing well and we aren't pulling them off the field right now, they strung him along. In the end he acted out and forced their hand.

    It was disrespectful from Tomlin to a Steelers legend....It's hard to blame Harrison on that, I would have been upset too if my boss would make false promises and disrespect me after that!

    I think the whole situation was handled poorly form all parties involved but if I had a great week of practice and then gets into the stadium and found out I wasn't playing that would definitely make me mad. As much as I like how Bud and TJ began to compliment each other no coach in their right mind is playing Bud Dupree over Harrison. I don't care about a long term goal when the immediate one is winning games.

    I don't care a washed up 40-year-old didn't get the playing time he wanted.

    But remember you said 31 other teams agreed with you that he was done when he went to the Bengals for a year so that should have been the end if it right.

    I agree but also agree with Thorn that it was handled poorly by both parties.

    43 isn't fooling anybody he just wants to blame Tomlin for the situation like he always does.

    But you also blame Ben and Cowher all the time.
    So what’s the difference?
    Will you blame Magic Mike once he is no longer HC?

    Right. I do not get it.


    Did we try to cover close man without giving up a huge cushion?

    Did the safeties help out if the cb's were burned?

    Did we try and double Chase?


    Someone must have hear of Defensive calls! OR as Chase says they did exactly as we expected.

    Predictable without basic adjustments Tomlin is.
