    He's made some improvement over last year, but Pickens still needs more maturity to be paired with his talents as a receiver.

    Seems the author may also be trying to get more clicks... article from the 27th.

    Jacksonville Challenges Steelers WR George Pickens

    Not sure who said what first, but walk silent and carry a big stick isn't a bad way to go.

    Man, I am pretty tired of everyone expecting these guys to be choir boys. I like that he has that dawg in him. I don't care if he puts a target on his back. He sees himself as the alpha and it won't matter if what they do to stop him. We need dudes like this. I love it.

    I see both sides to that coin. It does show confidence although a bit cocky. It is not good to give ammo to the other side. I'm an NFL player and someone talks crap on me I would go out of my way to lay into him given the opportunity.

    I've seen plenty of alphas that didn't need to jaw an opponent off the field, and plenty of betas that did. Take it for what you will.

    That didn't enter my mind till you said it but he did or at least hopes to stop the taunting ON THE FIELD.

    You could have a cool job as a writer for a sitcom. The stars we see on TV can present it but it's them writers in the back room who are funny. I was at a wedding once and a writer for a short lived sitcom on FOX (never remember the show. had 1 season.) was at our table. He had us laughing our ass off as he made fun of wedding party. That could be you and you won't be FORGOTTEN.

    We are talking about "trash talk" really? What do fans think happens out on the field between players? Many of these players know each other and train with each other in the off season.

    I love guys with dawg in them too, but if you're going to talk **** about what a badass you are, you better not be going all alligator arms on throws over the middle of the field like he did last week against the Rams.

    Nothing dawg about that.

    No words spoken before a game, whether trash talking or complimentary, will impact the result of the game. It is absolutely illogical to think that a person plays difference because of the opponent’s criticism or praise. These are pro athletes playing for a paycheck.

    Pickett should have thrown it a hair sooner, but Pickens was wide open and stopped running not to take a shot. That was a ball that should have been caught.

    I don't want him to get lit up either, but that was a catch he should have made. He slowed down and reached for the ball instead of running to the ball and than catching and getting down. The defender didn't even touch him on the play.

    Here it is. Start watching at 23:00 of this video.

    Pickett definitely needs to anticipate better and throw the ball sooner. No doubt. I just know that any WR that is going to talk **** should not be putting stuff like that on tape.

    Hines Ward would make that catch in his sleep. :cool:

    You should listen to his entire statement. Not a clip.

    I don't think anything Pickens said was drastic in any way, but if you think another player saying something publicly that could be perceived as derogatory doesn't give players on the other side some extra motivation - be it a few extra reps in practice, laps around the track, or an extra chip on the shoulder come game day - I think you're mistaken.

    The author is a clickbait troll

    He shows up repeatedly on a news feed I look at and has never had a real thought on his own

    Now as soon as I see his name I change pages

    Yeah, first time I've run into him. But after reading a couple of articles he certainly seemed to be baiting.

    How's the beach? Did you notify the local authorities you were going to be in town?

    I don't care what Pickens says he just best cash the check on the field. My issue is his hot headiness getting him a 15 yarder.

    That ain't dawg that's just dumb.

    I’m here/there

    I generally try to keep low key with the federales

    Although one time at the beach I had my dog an old lab off leash and was tossing a tennis ball into the surf when some old bitty read me the riot act about not having the dog on a leash

    I suggested she could go copulate all by herself so she called the authorities

    Some dweeb similar to a meter maid came out to the beach wrote me a ticket and notified me my old dog now “had a permanent record”

    It took everything I had to keep my pleasant attitude quiet

    (I once had a police officer tell me “I hope you have a damn good attorney” I handed him the business card for the United States Deputy Attorney General and that was the end of that issue)
