He caught a break by the spotlight being on Bell not reporting, but the observations that Bryant is not yet back to what is expected are starting to increase

This from Ben last week

“I talked to him (Monday) and said, ‘No more rust. You've been here long enough. We have to have it all off,” Roethlisberger said. “We can't have any more ‘My bads, or, oh yeah, I forgot that. We've got to be ready to go full speed, and I need you at your best from the get-go.'

And this from Gerry Dulac of the P-G in his chat today

One year away from football apparently generates a lot of rust and timing issues....
Bryant, so far, looks NOTHING like the receiver we knows he is or can be. It's been that way since camp.

Will be interesting to see if Haley (or Ben on his on) go with something other than screen plays to try and get Bryant going
