    We need to try and trade a future pick for a CB before the deadline...Cortez is just not good and he's not going to get good, he had another awful night...

    Big Dan and Tuitt both need more playing time they played well on the DL.

    Markus Wheaton is just not that good he had another bad night he needs to be at the bottom of the depth chart ..

    Both Bryant and DHB should be used more , not sure who has decided to have Wheaton ahead of them , but they are both better than him...

    He also continuously called Martavis, Martavius

    This move was made yesterday. After mid-2nd quarter, Wheaton wasn't targeted and Bryant got reps with the 1st team offense.

    You know, I get tired of these "announcers" trying to boost their egos by their verbal "discourse" during the game.

    If Gruden was as expert as he thinks he is, he would still be a head coach. Same for his "booth buddies." :rolleyes:

    And we need to continue it moving forward ..The Team needs to practice 3 WR sets that include A.B. , Bryant , and DHB ... Did you guys see that route that DHB ran ? It looked good and he snatched the ball right out of the air nicely...

    Those 3 guys have a lot of speed and it gives us nice size at the position ..

    Funny how things change game to game. First few games everyone was really impressed with Wheaton. Last 2 games, he and Ben are not on the same page - I do not think Wheaton is bad, he can be very good - Ben needs to get the receivers on the same page as he is. He was off with AB on the only play yesterday. On another he led AB the wrong way in the endzone (right to the defender). On one to Bryant, he should have put it on his back shoulder, but lead him when the defender played him downfield causing Bryant to have to try and dive over the defender to attempt the catch.

    These are things the QB and receivers need to work on independantly (outside of the alloted practices) - That is what Peyton has always done. That is what Rogers and Brees do.

    Cortez Allen is horrible. Benched, comes in nickel and boom, they target him right away. Don't see a solution here unless they trade for a CB.
    Bryant will be a difference maker and finally gets his chance. Was good to see Justin Brown inactive.
    Tuitt and McCullers need to dress. McCullers is a beast.
    Wheaton will be fine but needs some push from Moore and Bey.

    Anyone heard a timetable for Ike's return? I'm not sure where to find a decent CB before the trade deadline. Teams tend not to let those kinds of players go cheaply, and I sure as heck wouldn't want to give up a decent future pick for another team's castoff.

    I think we would need to make the playoffs in order for Ike to be able to return.

    Everyone is anointing Bryant after two catches. Just like they did with Wheaton during the first game of the season. Lets pump the brakes on these kids cause both can become Limas Sweed in an instant.

    Don't bring us down yet. Bryant's TD catch was a thing of beauty. A perfect throw and catch. The beginning of a new era of dominance. The moment that everything changed. Give us a moment before squashing our dreams!

    After the catch Bryant made, there is no comparison between him and Sweed.

    That was a nice catch and the job he did dragging his foot in the back of the EZ was a thing of beauty. To me, the non-catch was equally as impressive. He showed an aggressiveness going for the ball rarely seen by other Steeler receivers the last few years, with AB being the exception. Nice to see that kind of aggressiveness out of a big, fast, physical receiver. He'll have some growing pains yet, but I've got a good feeling about this kid.

    As of now, Bryant should be our new Mike Wallace. Run him deep to open up the underneath stuff, and toss him 3 or 4 bombs a game.

    Totally agree with this. Have been thinking this since his first TD.
