Steelers will be fine. Total paranoia from everyone. Their secondary is really, really bad, but any team with Ben Roethlisberger has a chance to make some noise.

Team knew about his issues too, Tomlin said so, was the big reason why they drafted Coates. I don't expect to see Bryant in a steeler uni to long. Finish out the year, hopefully have a good second half like last year and see if you can move him in the off season. Even if he stays around, no way you offer him a second contract. This is no yinzer "steeler way" crap either, I know we do just what the rest of the league does, I just think steelers office is pissed beyond belief at him and not getting back into the good graces anytime soon. Not sure what value he has, being one weekend night smoke fest away from a year suspension..Speaking of the weed thing captain, I for one was infuriated with how we treated Santonio and showed him the door. Now Martavis Bryant though, who actually failed 4 DRUG TESTS!!!! while Santonio did not fail one at all, and it's just no big deal see you in 4 weeks.
I think moving him would be a great move actually. I already said I was pissed about Santonio, but what made it worse was he could've just served the suspension, came back and had a great 3/4 of the year for us. Instead, the suspension diminished his trade value A LOT!! Although, if anyone can correct me if I'm wrong feel free too, was it AB we drafted with that pick?Team knew about his issues too, Tomlin said so, was the big reason why they drafted Coates.

Don't get me started...........ME TOO!!!! Losing Santonio cost Pitt the Super Bowl against Green Bay as far as I am concern!Speaking of the weed thing captain, I for one was infuriated with how we treated Santonio and showed him the door.

Haha no shit man I thought I was the only one who thought about Super Bowl. 4th down driving down to possibly win the game against Green Bay Super Bowl XLV, Mike Wallace drops the pass. Never liked his hands, but yes it was a very tough pass to catch. I said right that second watching it live though, Santonio Holmes would've caught that ball!Don't get me started...........ME TOO!!!! Losing Santonio cost Pitt the Super Bowl against Green Bay as far as I am concern!
No question had Big Ben had Santonio in the last 3 minutes they would have pulled off the last minute win just like they did against Arizona! Wallace like we know today ran the wrong patterns and is a loser!
Hines Ward kept taking the Steelers out to drink and Strip Clubs all week long before that Super Bowl, and that Alcohol stays in your system for two weeks making them as few second slower compared to Pittsburgh's Native Coach McCarthy that had Green Bay's focus on that game?
Big Ben cried in the Locker Room for over an hour after that game showing he has a true heart of a Football Player even when he was young and dumb with young women and motorcycles in his early years, at least he showed up!!!
I completely agree with you and it still upsets me today!
Yet, I made money on that game because I heard of what Hines was doing after his Divorce and knew that is not how Super Bowl Winners Win!
The Players need weed often to play through after effects of pain after the game. Sports Lawyers and Agents will explain this too. The same way Entertainment lawyers will tell you that drugs increase the creative process in their Entertainers Clients Brains?Team knew about his issues too, Tomlin said so, was the big reason why they drafted Coates.

Smart Minds Think Alike, and I always enjoyed your posts even when being critical of my own or agreeing to disagree, you add substantive content here, and share in your knowledge that educates all of us that read them.Haha no shit man I thought I was the only one who thought about Super Bowl. 4th down driving down to possibly win the game against Green Bay Super Bowl XLV, Mike Wallace drops the pass.

AB was a 6th Round Pick if I can recall correctly? However, it was Pitt's Phil Bennett an Assistant coach that told the Steelers about Brown and Emanuele Sanders, practicing with Dione Sanders every summer on catching the balls???? Sanders was not that much of a tacklers but he could cover like a drape over a window!I think moving him would be a great move actually.

However, this offseason with Bryant ready to go for 2016, we all know his insane skill set. We should be able to trade him and literally patch up most of our holes on the team with players or picks we could get in return. Seriously, most teams will not care, they will see his size and speed and drool over the fact we'd be willing to trade him.
You're a good man my friend. The fact that it seems like you even know your stuff about Vegas just proves your knowledge. Trust me I know how bookies work, which is odd that I ever starting gambling (which I don't on sports really anymore) because I know I'm probly gonna lose lol.Smart Minds Think Alike, and I always enjoyed your posts even when being critical of my own or agreeing to disagree, you add substantive content here, and share in your knowledge that educates all of us that read them.
I was told by a Good Hopewell Coach, that in 1970 Hopewell that won just 3 games had New Castle the #1 Team in the State beat 7-6 in a pouring rain, with 30 seconds to go, but the Hopewell Punter that went to Penn State later, dropped the punt and they lost 13-7. The only Player Crying out loud in the Locker Room from like a baby was Tony Dorsett a Defensive Monster Man in an Oklahoma 52 Defense Sophomore, and that is the day I followed Dorsett career at Hopewell, Pitt, and the NFL.
Great Football Players have big football hearts and focused brains on preparing and winning games and the Hawk and Big Ben have both, and so did Santonio!
Few know it but Secretariat that set all records for the Triple Crown was Autopsy after he died, and they found out he had a 16 Lbs Heart, that enabled him to pump Oxygen into his big legs and body during races, when most Horses have 8 LBS Hearts?
Bookies learn about the little things that count and understand when to bet based on how some Players are treated and prepare to play and bet accordingly???
Smart Beats Dumb, Always Does & Always Will!

To be honest my most successful times are when Pitt is underdog against a ranked team and everybody and their brother bets against Pitt. Idk if there's a way to look it up but when Pitt is the dog they almost always cover (or at least push), at least it seems from my experiences.
