Players were cracking up over Bryant report

Maurkice said we traded him for his brother, Mike.

 

I think that is usually the case.

 

Lol...glad the team is using this for fuel

 

Love it!

I really like this team, so I hope we can continue to use this, move forward and kick some ass come playoffs.

 

Not surprised as pretty much every little thing that gets reported, whether small or big, gets way overblown anyway.

 

I like that they interviewed Haden for the article. What a great way to show the climate difference between a bad team and a good team. Also gave me a glimpse to see how much he appreciates playing for the Steelers. Those that appreciate the opportunity (I mean really appreciate it) are the guys that make this team so special.

 

They may be dropping some stuff on purpose then. Just to see who bites...

 

He is proof that any idiot can post on the internet.

I think I just proved the same point.

 

Yeah I especially like these comments from Haden. His level of confidence is infectious

“Stuff happens each and every week. We hear different things. It's so funny, just because we have such a good team. We're so talented. I know that on Sunday, when we go onto the football field, we have a great chance of winning. Every week we go out there, if we don't mess it up, we should win every game. The football side of it is what makes me not worry too much because that's what matters. On Sundays, we can perform with the best of them.”

 

I thought it was funny that Gorman called Bryant a play-making receiver. He should have written "former play-making receiver."

 

We can expect a couple of long throws towards Bryant tomorrow.

Looks like this is how stuff works with the Steelers playcalling: you want the football? ok, so make some drama around your lack of opportunities and next week you'll get them.

 

Ian Rapoport reported Bryant will be a bigger part of the offense today, no more subbing with Eli and JuJu.

 

So long as they get to biz at hand... I enjoy the clowning as a team to the supposed drama. Grow together, smash together.

 

The players can do their best to try to diffuse the situation for the fans and media, but it's clear he wants out and is mad.

Still have some time before trade deadline is up. If he wants out so bad, I say give him what he wants! Good riddance.

 

Well that didn't pan out. Both Eli and Ju Ju had catches. Bryant was MIA again. With him bad mouthing teammates, he could wind up being a problem in the locker room.

Trade him to a bad team who will have a higher draft pick. Do the Browns or 49ers have any more good players who are looking to leave those train wrecks? Let Bryant spend the rest of the season on a winless team and see how he likes that.

 

He sucks this year lol

 

But but but...AB is supposed to be the cancer!! Just ask SDOT.

I know, I know. Martavis was a happy, healthy WR and AB got to him. His selfishness and antics turned Bryant into the malcontent he is today.

Damn that AB and his wanting the ball!! Bryant never wanted it before and now he is demanding it. I say throw the rest of our games, trade AB, and move up in next year's draft to pick first! That way we get our replacement for Ben and build this team around Bryant, the TRUE threat at wide out.

 

At this point it may become addition by subtraction. Bryant has all the tools to be a top WR but it is a team game. If he wants the ball and be the #1 guy send him to a bad team and let him deal with losing most games. Ask AJ Green how things are going in Cincy. Or ask Joe Haden how things were in Cleveland. The grass is definitely not greener elsewhere but you can't keep a guy who will be a locker room cancer.

 

Problem is, we won't find Ben's replacement in the 4th or 5th round because that's the most we're getting for this turd. I say turd because of how he's acting and playing. I don't blame him for wanting the ball, every player wants the ball but then earn it by playing hard every play. He's going through the motions at this point and it shows. Teams don't respect him or his deep threat abilities anymore. When you can single cover this guy on a weekly basis, thats a problem. Prior to the Chiefs game that was mostly Ben's fault, but he woke up and was damn sharp in the Bungals game.

 

Just can't seem to get a W and on to the next opponent without some BS drama... It's really sad.

 

Maybe he needs to be more involved to find his rhythm...? If he’s seeing so few targets—and not much other than go routes—then I can understand (even if disagree) with his position.

He’s blocking pretty well and diligently, so I can’t say he’s just going through the motions.
