    Saying on 93.7 today that Claypool got benched the 2nd half, and Ray Ray took his spot...

    That would make THREE games in a row he F***Ed up! Smacked a guy in the face....Posed when the clock was winding down...Agues with a Coach and gets benched...

    Sounds like we have ANOTHER player who has thrived under Tomlins iron fist type of team concept ( insert green letters )

    He's just caught up in a generational overview. I'm not willing to give up on his talents just yet.

    I think Claypool is a good kid but he is immature and lacks awareness. I believe there is a chance that the current criticism he is getting might spark something in him and get him to focus more on what matters. We will see

    <—— Would rather have Claypoole.

    There’s another one a fan sees before the paid professionals.
    Like Benny Snell football, the Rookie O line beta test, the McFarland one and dones, and the scorched earth cap space clearance sale. The Ray Ray WR experiment should be banned from Steeler kingdom 4evermore.

    Besides, I thought Claypoole behaved himself against the mighty titans.

    Claypool off season bar fights, clearly a hotdog, suggesting to coaching staff to play music at practise. He’s gotta get his talent into the game before it eats him up because he struggling to get wide open and that’s not on anyone but him..

    it’s very possible. He has loads of talent. He fights for the ball. You can still criticize his attitude…. Sheeesh

    The op points the finger at Tomlin for not running a tight ship, by pointing out he benched him every game for a month.

    So which is it?

    wow, you have more faith in that O line than I do. I’m hoping Honey Badger doesn’t put Ben out of commission on a safety blitz.

    Explain how you think it doesn't belong.

    Claypool is a key piece to this team and he is currently not unlocking the doors.

    Exactly. Personally I think players get on Tomlin's bad side and stay there.

    Tomlin is more of a "disciplinarian" than Noll or Cowher ever was. That just is not the problem. I think it is possible Tomlin hears that he is a soft player's coach and overreacts.

    People were saying he was going to have a big game against the Titans, after the bonehead play in the Vikings game, he had zero catches. This has been a very disappointing season for him, only one TD so far.

    So, basically, another overreaction to something that didn't actually happen and that shows that it's Tomlin's fault. Well, damned, he should be fired.
