NGT: Antonio Brown did not show up for team meetings Monday

jlukes : 9/18/2018 11:50 am
Brown is well known for being disgruntled on the sidelines and in the locker room.

For all of the antics OBJ pulls, being disgruntled and calling out coaches has never been an issue.
After his tweet  
dep026 : 9/18/2018 11:52 am : link
it seems like Brown has some attitude issues. The chemistry in Pitt must be awesome.

Ben has to be thinking of retiring for sure after this year,.
He also responded to a troll on Twitter yesterday

“Trade me let’s find out” (about not being able to put up his numbers elsewhere)
Steelers should trade him

The end is near with Big Ben as well. Start from scratch.

but the need to bring him into every discussion involving a holdout/disgruntled player has reached Eli levels of ridiculousness.

For such a supposedly great manager of men that they say Tomlin is

Doesn't it seem like there's always something going on or someone disgruntled? Seems like every year there's at least one occasion where some weird things go down in Pittsburgh.
trade them OBJ for an offensive line and a 1st round pick

I think the point was being made that Beckham and his WR divaness is nowhere near the insubordinate behavior that Brown has displayed towards the team and coaches.
Funny how Beckham gets shit

While in the past month Brown has threatened an espn reporter, was screaming at a coach on the sideline, and now this and the media is quiet.

He'll still be held out as a standard to measure OBJ against

Then again.. at least they've been able to score points.
I feel like Tomlin has slowly lost that team  
UConn4523 : 9/18/2018 12:08 pm : link
and Brown doesn’t take enough heat for how childish he is.
Two teams seasons were completely blown up in the offseason  
Chris684 : 9/18/2018 12:24 pm : link
due to contract disputes/the business side of the game.

I'm more certain the Raiders are toast after demoralizing their locker room by shipping out Mack just one week before the season.

The Leveon Bell thing in Pittsburgh has got to be on the minds of everyone in that organization as they've gotten off to a slow start with a tie and a loss and a lot of drama.

I agree with you to a point here. Brown and OBJ are often compared and here I think it is relevant. OBJ could have called out his coaches at a lot of different points in his career and NEVER did. Or his teammates and never did.
He has another sideline hissy fit  
KWALL2 : 9/18/2018 12:41 pm : link
He's got an absurd number of targets and still bitching about not getting the ball enough.

A side note about targets in 2018. Michael Thomas has 30 targets this year with 28 catches. That's nuts.
Tomlin  
fanofthejets : 9/18/2018 12:43 pm : link
I'm thinking this is it for Tomlin after the year. A lot of people within that org wanted him gone last year (and they were right) this season things are starting to fall to pieces.
Tomlin?  
KWALL2 : 9/18/2018 12:45 pm : link
He has no control over the Bell thing. Brown had a little fit. Nothing else is going on.

This is a good team. They'll be right there in the AFC at the end.

Only because there are are like 3 good AFC teams. Pitt has no defense. They will have a hard time winning the division this year.
No defense?  
KWALL2 : 9/18/2018 12:55 pm : link
Don't agree there. Losing Shazier is huge but they have better talent/depth at DB this year. They will fix the blown coverage issues they had vs KC.

Pass rush will be fine. Watt is an excellent player.

So what was the excuse last year against Jax in the playoffs? Getting torched already this year. Gave up 21 points to the browns in a monsoon who then couldnt score 21 in a dome against one of the worst defenses in the league.

Pitt's defense is not good. Yes the shazier injury sucks, but it is what it is.

His antics have been pretty widely reported.
OBJ  
upstatenyg : 9/18/2018 1:13 pm : link
Will be disgruntled quickly also if they Giants lose more games.

All of the diva's are capable of this.

The fact that he hasn't done so yet is no assurance he won't if we go 0-4 or 0-5.

The difference is, Odell may have good reasons to be pissed off, not that that excuses it. Brown is just being a child.
PIT defense  
KWALL2 : 9/18/2018 4:21 pm : link
was 7th in NFL last year in points allowed.

In week 1, Taylor completed 33% of his 40 passes and Hyde avg 2.8 YPC. The Steeler offense handed the ball over to CLE 5-6 times. Thats why they lost.

They had several coverage problems vs KC. It doesn't mean the team with the 7th best defense last year fell off the cliff.

They upgraded the DBs and Id bet on Watt having a bigger role this year. Still a lot of talent although Shazier is tough to replace. They don't have anybody to fill that role.
And now the Saints are one of the worst  
KWALL2 : 9/18/2018 4:22 pm : link
defenses in the NFL too?
Yeah I'm sorry,  
Keith : 9/18/2018 4:29 pm : link
but it's not 2015. The Saints defense was really, really good last year. rough start this year in week 1, but that defense was legit last year.
Well if we are going to use games in a monsoon  
dep026 : 9/18/2018 4:55 pm : link
To rank a defense, there’s not much more to say. But hey, their defense sucked against Jacksonville last year and were toyed with against KC. Their best defender is out for the year and their best corner is hurt.

But hey, they have depth.
Wait until the losses pile up for the Giants.  
Boy Cord : 9/18/2018 6:07 pm : link
There will be drama.
A monsoon?  
KWALL2 : 9/18/2018 6:35 pm : link
Wrong again. Did you watch this game?

Each QB threw it 40 times. They had no problem with the weather. For a short period there was some rain. Most of the game it was no factor.

Cle had a 1 yard scoring drive.

PIT had 6 turnovers.

Thats what happened here. Pit defense wasn't a problem.

Odell has 95 million reasons not to be but so disgruntled.
The bar is set pretty low

If you need to prop a unit on how they did against the Browns and Tyrod Taylor.

Giants defense was really, really good in 2016. How did help them in 2017?

Because they are losing. No one gives two shits about brown’s antics when the Steelers are winning and no one gives two shits about the good ship lolipop here in the jersey swamps because the giants suck balls right now.

It’s all about winning. Literally. Nothing else matters. It’s all noise.
they should trade him  
MagicManning : 9/18/2018 10:20 pm : link
to New England for peanuts. Then wonder why you get your head beat in by them for the next 5 years. Obviously joking but why do teams think its a good idea to trade with New England. Most of the time they take someone elses throw away and turn them into a serviceable/good player.

Agreed. I guarantee you Josh Gordon is going to do great in NE. I have no idea why the Browns would do that. They must not plan on winning the AFC championship any time soon.

I don’t think you’ve been paying attention the past few years. That locker room is a debacle.
