A more focused George Pickens in 2025?

He could probably go to therapy with Antonio Brown......

 

He will be a Saint this year to "get paid" and then who knows how he will be, that is the problem. I wish we could rely on him but when Arthur Smith's offense is supposedly based on the run game, i can't see him being too happy.

 

I bet we could get equally enamored with 4 coaches in 75 years with a couple more super bowls sprinkled in

 

You're right - "ochenta y cinco" never would have caught on for Chad J.

 

What's next AB becoming a life coach and a financial planner?

 

I don't know, i hope so. I think people can change although its not often. I think the steelers have bigger problems than Pickens honestly. Like a piss poor coaching staff and stale, mediocre for a while now HC who's been resting on his early career success for over a decade now, and a big question mark at Qb.

 

Hey, maybe Ochocinco told him to stop complaining and be THE LEADER in 2025. Like come in early, run every practice route, clap for others nailing their practice reps, get on anyone loafing and be team first.

If he comes in with renewed "Do as I say and as I do" focus, all will be forgotten and he'll be beloved. Hey, maybe Johnson said that being me-first NEVER turns out well. Don't get stuck on that path, make the choice now to reshape yourself and your image through ACTION, GOOD ACTION, not words.

 

as i said, pickens just wants the ball and to show what he can do. he wants to be great. for all those that want to dump the kid. no way you let him out of here. you build on what talent he has shown. get a QB protect him and throw the kid the ball.

I think this is the case. He's acted like a child when we lose games, but he's not a problem when we're winning and he's not getting the ball as much. I wish he didn't act out when things aren't going our way, but these are the types of things that happen with high end WR's a lot. Shoot, AJ Brown caused a huge problem at the end of the year for the Eagles and they ended up winning the SB... Sometimes you just gotta find a way to make it work with these uber talented/weak mentals type players. GP is far too talented to just push out the door bc he doesn't have a perfect attitude. We do that, and it's going to be tough to field an NFL caliber team.

 

Well that should put to rest the trade Pickens talk/ posts

 

Yeah right

 

George Pickens.
Now that's set in with me, George is an enigma.
He has amazing body control and can contort himself to make amazing catches. He can catch anything around him.
But then he has this personality thing.

I remember that camp, watching Pickett and Pickens and thinking to myself that if those two could forge a relationship like Jagger/Richards we would be in for a treat.
But Matt Canada killed those idea, not only did he kill them, he then set fire to them.
Then comes Wilson/Fields.. and Smith.
But now the problem is, there's no one on the other side that really is relieving any sort of pressure.......
All that stuff is just gasoline on the fire that is Pickens personality.
If he had Burrows throwing to him, you might not hear a word from him - I am speculating.

I think if you could get a guy that exudes leadership and makes plays to challenge George, you'd have a better receiver.
There's something to be said about the coaching too..

 

I just want to see George catch a pass that isn't a back shoulder jump ball. Can he actually run a route?

 

It is pretty hard to change a leopards spots.

 

Can he not take plays off when he may not get the ball, very easy for db's to pick up these tendencies.

 

This is my problem with people dismissing his selfish behavior. He is hurting the team when he takes plays off.

 

Plaxico took plays off so bad my wife could tell you if it was a run play or pass and if he was the primary target

And that is why people think NE was stealing our plays Plax was telegraphing them

 

Is there some influencer somewhere called Dedication God that these loser players can train with? The coaches are clearly ineffective, but the influencers seem actually helpful.

Maybe Ward should think about becoming Dedication God... that may get him into the HoF faster than waiting. There will likely an influencer category for the HoF soon.

 

Pickens has talent, no doubt about that.
I imagine playing in that cluster#$%^ Canada called an offense was hard to do.
I also imagine that what will be 3 different sets of QB's throwing to him is a bit of a distraction.

Working with the 'route god' is a nice step forward.
I hope that additionally the 'route god' can adjust his attitude and work ethic.
I would love to see Pickens just explode onto the scene.

 

It will take a lot more convincing for me to believe that Belicheat wasn’t stealing our play calls. Spygate was squashed rather quickly and evidence destroyed overnight for them to be innocent of all accusations. The Bengals busted them red handed in an incredibly meaningless upcoming match up. Bellicheat knew he could get away with it though through Krafts deep pockets and even larger friendships. Every Patriots SB should have a big fat * next to it.

 

I’m not disagreeing and the two things can live together

Spy all you want but if the other team is telling you the play take it

If my wife figured it out half in the bag you know the coaches did

She could tell you if it was a run play or a pass play and if Plex was the primary receiver or not
