AB

We dont know whappen through out the year man, we just know what is told to us and what we choose to believe, And i would bet my life through out the season teammates get into it more than once but that doesnt make that person a bad teamate... .. ...... I cant type worth a **** so im not going to repond to everyone that disagrees with me have a good nightnight

 

So we have players that we can't trade no matter how they act and coaches that we can't fire no matter how they perform and we wonder why the team is a mess?

 

Lol...Tomlin ain't giving no straight answers

 

Damn Vince tell us how you really feel

 

Under the authority of the NFL, he has zero choice in the matter. If not, those ramifications will be greater. Tomlin is going to have to face the proverbial music on this one. Why not just state it as a Coache's Decision is beyond me.

 

Goodnight...I'm getting to drunk...Didn't mean to ruffle feathers, just frustrated like most...Just want TO WIN...****in Cheats, Rats...****in hate it...Ben is almost done...tired of " what could have been " over it!


Oh...HAPPY NEW YEARS...GO STEELERS!

 

Hope the reporters ask him ALL the tough questions...Not that it matters now!

 

So Vince basically confirmed the story. LOL.

AB's trade value just plummeted. If the Steelers look to trade him now no one is going to give a first or even a second for an expensive crybaby 31 year old problem child. The Steelers trying to claim this was some minor knee discomfort looks more like an attempt to protect his trade value than coddling him. Now that the story is out they're stuck with him unless they're willing to give him away for bag of old kicking balls.


Edit: Dez Bryant who is younger than AB was available for nothing and was a FA until week 9 this year. OK, so AB was a lot better than Dez, but the point is if teams didn't want that headache for nothing, ain't no way anyone is giving up a first or second for the headache that is AB.

 

I really didn't need to read this today. My weekend was already bad enough thanks to the Brown(s).

 

Well if that's the case its really sad that one of our supposed leaders can't muster up the gumption to practice the possible last Wednesday of the season. I'd be ticked the F off too.

 

If I had to guess who he is talking about, I’d say it was DeCastro who leaked the rift. I’m pretty sure he’s not a fan of how undisciplined the team is and I’m sure he’s in Ben’s corner on this. Can’t fault him in wanting to fix the team. There’s no chemistry or leadership. This Steelers team was s broken and needs help in a bad way. Such a waste of talent because of a few me first players.

What a disgrace. Unbelievable really.

 

As much as I would also like to get rid of Brown, here is the main issue:



*** Update***


Dave deleted the tweet. Not sure why. Cap hit is $21.1 Million. Not good. That is Pre-June 1st.


That is way too big a cap hit for us to absorb. Now, Post June 1st is another story. That being said, that also is too little, too late.

 

They forced New England to forfeit a draft pick due to deflate gate and I know the steelers had to forfeit a pick once because Dan Rooney promised a bonus to a linemen and it put them over the cap. So I think it is a league discretion thing. I can't think they would take it too kindly if the Steelers said he is injured and turned out he skipped team activities and was scratched as a punishment. Makes them look shady to boot and gives the appearance of maybe influencing the line too.

 

I knew of those cases. I was rather asking in relations to the injury policy.

 

L Bell talked about his hidden groin injury following the 2016/17 season, which lead to an NFL investigation.
I don't remember any ramifications though (not to say there weren't any, I just don't remember).

 

Not for nothing but DD was the one who claimed the team was " sleepwalking ". If he wants to step up as a leader he should of started there. It was a long enough skid for him to step up and it was his OL that was a major culprit. Then again there was another one of his OL group that stated that losing was beneficial. I don't know what happened to our OL and the chip they were playing with but since the Bell saga officially ended they were never the same. I guess grudges are better motivation than winning.....

 

Man oh man.... Wednesday's presser is going to be the most intriguing one in quite some time. The news just does not get any better. What a fitting end to the 2018 Steelers in the morbid sense.

 

Interesting because Ben is listed as a coaches decision not practicing Wednesday. So was Ben telling AB to re run a route while he stood on the sideline not even practicing? If I was in ABs shoes and my work ethic was what his is. I'd tell Ben to F off too.

 

There is no I in team. Steelers must get rid of all the cancers in the locker room or it will lead to another mediocre season next year. Plain and simple.

 

Was thinking a trade plus draft picks to obtain the high draft pick, but yeah it would be tough to pry loose a high pick to get him. I suppose the situation would have to fall just right. Maybe something like the first or second pick in 2020 belongs to a team that had already drafted for their starting QB the previous year and were looking to trade down and you were fairly certain the other team in question is not drafting a QB. Something like that.

Regarding Rudolph. Usually you see some early clues in a QB that he is going to be special. Unfortunately Rudolph has not shown anything special. Also, it seems to me there is a reason high value QB tend to get drafted early in 1st round and are more likely to have a chance to be good or great starting QB`s. I think if the situation is right, we should go all out for a top 5 QB in 2020.
