    You guys suck!! Man has been a true Steeler, a Warrior, and ya’ll quickly turn on him, sickening !!

    Maybe he took this add-on deal because he wants to compete with his Brothers, go to battle with his fellow warriors, more than he wanted the extra money. Maybe he wants a RING!!! Maybe he doesn’t need training camp but instead needs to be healthy and strong late season and playoffs!!!!

    Eh, Loudermilk and Ekaule, sure, but they both stink. I thought Black had some good moments. Benton has regressed but he needs to be playing DE.

    Fans will turn on anyone. They even turned on the Emperor.

    Actually, I totally agree. Black had a few bad snaps but he is a late rd draft pick rookie. I think he may be a Draft Steal!!!

    I don't buy Benton is a bust... who has Karl Dunbar coached up.... honest question?

    When players fall off they fall off quick... I think Tomlin needs to be quick to pull the trigger if Heyward needs to be benched.

    I get it. But there is a difference in how it’s done. No need to be hateful, insulting in the way I keep reading .

    I'm losing track of threads... but I said somewhere I think Heyward-Black-Benton could be a good front. Heyward looked like he wasn't in game shape, Black was playing his first NFL game, and Benton was playing out of position. So, we could see all of those problems get solved as the season goes on. Then Harmon comes back and the deep depth guys can be just that. The LBs are supposed to be a strength this year. All of that sounds like a good front 7, so I'm hopeful it gets there, but it stunk yesterday.

    I'd just go with the youth movement now... Black-Benton-Harmon.

    Doesn't Cam have a podcast he needs to do?

    Mash, go look up performance- based incentives and get back to us. Better yet, go find the particulars of said incentives added to Heyward's contract, links to which have already been posted here.

    When play falls off quick, it's time to look for a hidden injury. You don't go from being a stud one week to ho-hum the unknown guy 2 weeks later unless there is something going on.

    I don't hate the dude, and don't begrudge him his money, but he was a big reason they were running it, continuously at him, and Highsmith Because of no real practice, he's out of shape.

    Well, you never know… maybe he wanted more money because he got a medical diagnosis and he knows this is it for him…

    Plus, we rode with Troy for about two seasons too long, when he was a shell of who he was. We know the organizations shies away from making the tough decisions.

    Yeah, not much for speaking gibberish.

    Let's get fact straight, then make a point.

    If you read the very next post you quoted, you'd understand you jumped the gun.
