So now according to reports....

They got nothing.
Draft pick?
Just get rid of the distraction.

 

Ben's deep throwing does not help for sure.


Some of those passes though this season are on Martavis. His inability to combat catches is what irritates me.



In totality, Haley's red zone playcalling is doing neither favors.

 

Now is the best time to roast, in case it's not true.

 

He's basically lived up to his scouting report:

Inconsistent hands -- tends to double-clutch the ball and makes too many easy drops. Is not a polished route runner -- is stiff in and out of his breaks. Lacks toughness desired to work the middle of the field. Must prove that he is willing to work to assimilate a playbook and learn the finer points of the game

 

Ben has no problem throwing up jump balls to AB, even in triple coverage. I think he'd do the same to a much taller receiver, if he trusted him.

 

Take it for what it's worth...

Supposedly Bryant's gf posted this on snapchat a little bit ago

 

You have to earn the right to ***** and moan. AB has earned that right, but needs to be more of a leader.

Martavis hasn't earned that right. He needs to shut up, put his head down, and become a teammate and playmaker.

 

If that is real, his girlfriend needs to shut the hell up, too. Perhaps he should produce ore if the didn't want to be treated like a mediocre player.

To be fair, Roethlisberger is part of the problem. He had Bryant open behind everybody at least twice this season and simply missed.

 

unbelievable. The audacity after the patience they've had for this headcase.

Management needs to start getting the attention of the prima donnas in their locker room. Ship his *** to cleveland so fast his head spins

 

What’s funny about this is that he did get more plays called for him. He’s just brittle and can’t break a tackle even if it was a cheerleader.

I think you make him stay, he’s worth too much if Ben decides to find his game.

 

I think DHB can produce as much as Bryant has right now. Maybe not a Bryant with his head screwed on right and operating at 100%,but Bryant ain’t that now. Should seriously send feelers to Giants and Lions. Never know what you can get until you ask.

 

This is coming from the same guy that said Ben asked for a trade a few years back.

 

Y'all need to stop with the DHB stuff. He is still a Steeler because he can play special teams, but if he is anything more than a fourth receiver, the team is in trouble.

The Steelers shouldn't be looking to dump Bryant until or unless he rebuilds some value. Selling low is always a bad move, especially with a player who has that much talent.

 

Weeks ago like when they were trying to get him killed with bubble screens and Ill-conceived end around in the preseason and week 1. The times they were literally trying to knock the rust off? Without having Bell going they can't suck the safeties down into the box and open up deep shots to Bryant. Those plays are coming but he also has to make a living on those short routes as well.

 

Its just unbelievable that we cannot catch a break from this drama. I know that it is just an "insider twitter" thing but I feel that it is not that hard to believe with all the nonsense in the locker room. It states the coaches were already aware and could hint to why Juju had been passing him on the depth chart. Maybe it's another squeaky wheel gets the oil situation where ab threw the Gatorade and saw huge target increases so now Bryant wants to throw a fit and get Ben to throw him a few.

Just another selfish player with no clue, must be nice to fail multiple drug test and keep your million dollar job. In the real world you get fired fiat time and your only making $32k a year.

 

Our passing game is simply not at a level where we can feed all the hungry mouths. AB and Bell are always going to be the guys that get **** done. When there's leftovers, Bryant, Juju and the TE's will get some. This year, there has barely been enough to feed AB by himself. Then throw in a heavy dose of Bell and his usually 5-10 targets, and Bryant is mostly going to go hungry. It's just the nature of our offence right now and there's not a lot of signs indicating that will change.

I don't blame Bryant for wanting out. When a guy thinks he can play a big part and isn't being used that way, it's natural to want to go somewhere that you can shine (ie Adrien Peterson this year). With that said, I can't help but wonder how this got out. Did Bryant tell someone in the media, did a coach, another player? That's the ****ty part. Players asking for trades isn't rare, but it needs to remain an internal thing.

There's no trade value for Bryant though. we won't get anything and as we've seen, he can be a star if our passing game could ever get on track

 

Oh man, no better source than the gf he goes home and complains to.

 

Landon Collins

 

this guy can't be ****ing serious. of ALL players on the team to demand a trade, he's the last one.

 

This is the first time I mentioned DHB in over 6 months, lol!. Watching this Broncos game, we need to give them a call. Sanders, Thomas and McKenzie all getting hurt.

 

What’s up with the timing of this by the way? Biggest win of the year and a reporter finds a way to lighten the mood with some well timed drama.

He must hate the steelers and is trying to take away momentum...
