Steeler Who Said Key Starters Will Rest Week 17 Vs. Browns Backtracks
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert is essentially having a very public argument with himself. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Tim Benz reported Thursday that Gilbert said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell wouldn’t play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers have to win in Week 17 and hope for a Patriots loss or tie to earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Otherwise, the Patriots snag it. Then came this. Well, except there’s that whole issue of audio recording technology. You can hear Gilbert say Roethlisberger, Brown and Bell won’t play at the 17:... NESN.com
Patriots Fans Won’t Like What Mike Tomlin Said In His Commencement Speech
Share this: Robert Morris University’s Class of 2017 heard some New England Patriots jokes Friday night, courtesy of Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers coach gave the commencement address at the school, during which he worked in one memorable incident involving the Patriots and Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown from this past season. Remember that Brown live stream from the Steelers’ locker room prior to Pittsburgh’s matchup with the Pats in the AFC Championship Game? Well, keep that incident in mind when you read this. “I’ll proceed with a couple of assumptions,” Tomlin said, via Yahoo! Sports. “And I realize that assumptions are very dangerous. There’s a cliche about assuming, isn’t it? It can make Patriots out of you and me.” “I’ll proceed with the
Antonio Brown Is A Good Reminder Not To Obsess Over Combine Results
Share this: The Pittsburgh Steelers determined Monday that Antonio Brown is the best wide receiver in the NFL when they handed him a four-year, $68 million contract, making him the highest-paid player at his position. This is despite the fact Brown isn’t a freak athlete. That’s not a knock against Brown. I’m not a freak athlete. Neither is Tom Brady (sure, he says he would perform better at the NFL Scouting Combine now than he did 17 years ago, but it would take him another 150 years of improvement before he reaches freak levels of athleticism, and he probably won’t be very spry at the age of 189). Many quarterbacks aren’t freak athletes yet still reach an elite level of play on the field. Wide
Steelers Reportedly Upset Over Antonio Brown Chasing Stats In Patriots Loss
Share this: For all of his incredible talent, Antonio Brown might be on thin ice with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After creating a distraction with his ill-conceived Facebook Live video, the Steelers wide receiver delivered a solid yet unspectacular performance against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, catching seven passes for 77 yards in Pittsburgh’s 36-17 loss. But more concerning to the Steelers, apparently, was one play early in Sunday’s game when running back DeAngelo Williams scored the team’s first touchdown. According to NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala, Brown was seen pouting after the score. “His team just scored a touchdown and he was upset that he was wide open and (quarterback Ben) Roethlisberger didn’t go to him,” Kinkhabwala, who was on Pittsburgh’s sideline during
Patriots-Steelers Takeaways: Tom Brady, Chris Hogan Connects Deep In Win
Share this: With two weeks until the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, one debate surely will rage on through the hot-take radio waves: Is Tom Brady keying in on wide receivers Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan too much? Edelman and Hogan have made up 530 of Brady’s 671 yards and three of his five touchdowns through two playoff games. Brady’s completing 74.4 percent of his passes to Edelman and Hogan and just 51.2 percent to other receivers. The short answer to this inevitable debate, however, is no. Edelman and Hogan are playing like Brady’s best receivers, so there’s no logical reason not to target them. It’s also been a winning formula through two playoff games, and
Malcolm Butler Has A Lot Riding On Playoff Matchup With Antonio Brown
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler has already proven he won’t be another Larry Brown, Timmy Smith or David Tyree. Now it’s time to show he’s an elite cornerback. Butler successfully transitioned from unlikely Super Bowl hero to one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2015 and earned a second-team All-Pro nod in 2016 thanks to some dominant stretches with four interceptions this summer. Still, Butler had issues at times in 2016, like when he allowed over 130 yards to the Dolphins in Week 2 and over 100 yards and two touchdowns to the New York Jets in Week 12. Butler locked down the majority of his opponents this season,
