Hopefully the lesson has been taught. We're going to need a big game from him in Cincy! :pray:

Why can't that "lesson" be handed to Blake?

[Shoes]

He has 1 catch for 6 yards in the last two games per steelersdepot.

[hawaiiansteeler]

it's the reason why we were able to draft such a freakishly athletic player in the 4th round...

[Psycho Ward 86]

if he had AB's work ethic he would make us forget all about #84

I didn't have any problem with them going to Bey. When he got open, he made the big play when we needed it. Bryant reminds me of the young Plaxico, who also had tons of talent, but didn't have a clue about how to play the position.

[Devilsdancefloor]

well he left todays game with a neck injury... so that is why 1 catch 0 yardsplus i really think ben looks AB AB AB AB AB whoever else

[SteelMayhem72]

Take a view from the sideline and get DHB in there.

[ETL]

Bryant is way more talented than DHB. If he's healthy he needs to play.

[Steel Peon]

I think his difficulties of late might be due to chaffing from having his balls scrubbed way too thoroughly by the media way too soon in his NFL career. Normally, an NFL player needs to have his testicles properly conditioned before such slop, lather, and coarse materials should be applied, which at the start should only involve enthusiastic approval. In the case of Martavis however, the media decided to move straight into jumping the shark, and heap unjustified praise onto the young upstart. Phrases like "Ultimate skill-set for a wide receiver," and "Could be the Steelers' greatest WR ever" were thrown about willy-nilly, as if the Winged God of WRs had just presented his only son unto the Steelers so they could attain glory beyond anyone's wildest comprehension. So simply put, Martavis' balls were just not prepared for a washing of that magnitude, and I can't imagine the amount of pain he's had to endure while playing through such an affliction. Hopefully he seriously wants to live up to the accolade of "Ultimate skill-set for a WR" thing, and then someone can explain to him that #1 on that list is your hands.

Bringing up the 2014 draft again... man, I wish that the NYGiants had accepted Tomlin's trade offer, and the Steelers had gotten ODB.


(I mention this now, because when we last discussed this topic, Bryant seemed to be "the next big thing". So much so, that some would have rather have had him than ODB. Now that Bryant has fallen back to Earth, I am once again reminded about how amazing this offense would be with AB and ODB.)

Wow, that would be amazing, just so long as you're not talking about this ODB (who he's kinda been acting like lately):

I never heard that the steelers had offered a trade to the giants for OBJ.

When did you hear that?

[teegre]

When did you hear that?

After R1 was complete, Schefter (or someone) said that the Steelers had offered a R4 pick to trade up from 15 to 11, but the NYGiants wanted a R3 pick. Alas, due to the Shamarko Thomas trade from the year before, the Steelers did not have a R3 pick.

This might sound kinda dumb, but not sure it all "fits" as well with AB and ODB. They seem too similar in style. Kinda like how Sanders had to go elsewhere to really be good. However ODB is way better than Sanders so....

Plus we could make all kinds of cool Old Dirty Bastard and Wu-Tang references. Nevermind. I'm in.

[slippy]

what have you guys been watching? i do not want ODB on my team. he is talented, but i believe he will ruin any team he is on. giants have mishandled him terribly.

[Mojouw]

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2015/receiving.htm

Not sure if it means anything, but looks like the top 20 guys in yards per catch this season all caught around 50-60% of their targets (rough round number math - I could be way off). Bryant is right in that window.

But then there is the "eyeball" test and he seems to not come up with some easy ones now and then. What I do like though is that Bryant, for the most part, attempts to be a "hands" catcher and not a "body" catcher. For why I like that, look at AB - hands. Then look at DHB - body.

[polamalubeast]

The problem is that Bryant has not been the same in last few weeks....

[Mojouw]

Agreed. Wish we were able to know whether that was a Bryant thing or that teams are specifically trying to take him away.

[Count Steeler]

Ben has to change the song in his head, from "I Only Have Eyes For You", to "Spread the Love". Maybe now that the regular season records and possible accomplishments are over, Ben will not force it to Brown as much.

[SteelerFanInStl]

The guy that Ben seems to have forgotten about is Heath. I was really surprised to hear that it was only the 2nd TD of the year for Heath in the Cleveland game. Ben needs to get back to using his security blanket.

[B&GFever]

Is he in the back seat of the car with these two guys ?
