Antonio Brown

Did anyone see his post game interview on the NFL network? Not only is he becoming the best Steelers wide receiver, he is genuinely a good dude. Just seems to be happy to be doing his part. I've heard several of his radio interviews and heard about his work ethic.This guy gets it.Great on the field and seems to be great off the field as well. I'm glad we found him in the 6th round! He's cracked my top 5 favorite current Steelers.

 

Totally agree. Love his performance but I wish he would tone down the antics a bit as it reminds me of Desean Jackson his first couple years and we see how that's turning out.

 

He has the mindset to constantly prove that he belongs.When you put the work in then it shows on gameday.

 

I agree on AB. BTW, how about the effort from Wallace on that almost TD? Man he took a shot and kept fighting and diving for the GL. Nice effort from Mike on that!

 

At the last minute, I put AB in my fantasy lineup and it paid off BIG TIME

 

I wouldn't compare him to Jackson. His attitude is 100% better. He's young, having fun, and gets excited. That doesn't bother me one bit. And he's filled that void left by Santonio in a hurry. Looks a lot like him on the field doesn't he?

 

I hate to ask this, but could someone summarize and recount what was said with brown and the the guys from the network? I was at a bar and they didn't have the captioning on. It really looked they were all enjoying the convo/interview a lot.

And yes, Wallace's effort exceptional. I really couldn't be sure from the replay if he in fact touched with his knee. It was so close. Shouldn't the tie go to the runner? (You know what I mean) It didn't look like it was conclusive and he might have been robbed.

I also missed the possible McCoy TD that some ppl at the bar said he made. Did he?

 

I'm pretty sure they got the Wallace TD overturn correct. The side angle showed his knee down and he had a rather large grass stain on the knee. Great effort though.

When the NFL network guys were talking to AB, he got a lot of love from Deion. He asked AB about what it meant for BR to come back out in the 2nd half and how much Hines has meant in his developmemt. AB basically comfirmed what we already know that this team doesn't go anywhere without Ben. He was very complimentary of Hines.

 

No - McCoy did NOT get in the endzone on that play. It was close, but he was not in.

I'm glad I DVR'd the whole game + postgame. I'm going home today and watching the Antonio interview and whatever else NFL network has to show me.

Oh - by the way - also on my way home, I get to listen to Cleveland Sports Talk Radio!! I love doing that after a Stains loss - and especially after a loss to the Steelers!! Mwwwaaaahahahahahahah!!

 

Uh huh, Jackson was young (like Brown), having fun (like Brown), and got excited too (like Brown). Plus he was "underpaid" (like Brown). I'm not saying he's going to be a trouble maker like Desean Jackson, I just can't help but see in some of his antics certain parallels to Jackson's (cocky/diva) antics his first couple years which may have contributed to the problems the Eagles are having with him now. That's all!

 

Unlike DeSean, Brown has a good bunch of veteran leaders in the locker room ... Philly just is a sorry excuse of a team

 

If you look, the grass stain on his knee was there already. That said, his knee did touch the grass on that play, not sure it hit the ground, however. But I will not argue that call. I can't believe Ed the douchebag overturned one of browns catches earlier, there was no evidence to overturn that call - what ever happened to indisputable evidence?

 

I was surprised to see the whole NFL Net crew bragging about the steelers. And Mike Irvin says he thinks they will be in the SB again.

 

I said on this site back in week 3 or 4 that I thought Antonio Brown would be the #1 WR in the not too distant future. Wallace is good and all, but Brown is true #1 material.

 

No, you are totally wrong. No way is AB a (cocky/diva). He is just having fun, plus the coaches love him. Tomllin has nothing but good things to say about him. You sound like you just want a stiff out their playing who does nothing to get excited about. I think its good for the team to have him out their doing what he is doing.

Make no mistake, he is no Desean Jackson. He also has heart which we found out Jackson does not.

 

I dont know. Wallace zip zagging taking hits and still reaching the endzone. He did last night but unfortunately his knee touch but he also did it against the bungholes

 

I'd still like to know what the ref saw while reviewing the play in the first qtr where they said the ball hit the ground before Brown caught it. Although, it didn't make much difference cause Ben completed the next big gain to him on 3rd and 9 but the previous play was definitely a catch.
I swear it's like they call Roger Gooddell and say what did you see Rog?

 

So that's what they're doing under that %$@# hood! No wonder.

 

edog55: Just because we disagree doesn't mean I'm the one who's "totally wrong". We can agree to disagree. And regarding your comment about being "stiff", yes I would take a stiff player like Larry Fitzgerald, or Wes Welker, or Jordy Nelson over a "less stiff" player (aka clown) like Desean Jackson, or Ochostinko, or Terrell Owens. "Stiff" players both get the job done and act as though they've done it before, plenty of times. BTW, John Stallworth was a "stiff" player.

 

Absolutely agree!! We watched that play over and over and could never see any evidence of the ball hitting/touching the ground, the ball moving around, nothing!! I thought that you had to see definitive evidence contrary to the ruling on the field or the play stands!?!? That call had me scratching my head all night...wtf!?!? :bs:

 

Jackson taunts other teams and drops the ball before he reaches the end zone. He was cocky from day one. Brown does a goofy dance when he scores. Big difference. Listen to his interviews. I'll be shocked if he ever resembles Jackson's attitude off the field. And if I'm being honest, I don't blame Jackson for being upset for not getting paid. Everyone else on his team did. He's just not handling it the right way.

 

Agree Ray. Mikes a big reason Antonios getting single coverage. This is a sweet combo we got right now. And they've got a total of 5 years of NFL experience!

 

SANders +anTONIO > santonio :-D
