Antonio Brown at PR

[GodfatherofSoul]

Because ARE can fair-catch like nobody's business.

ARE is probably back there for ball security, not for his return skills.

YIKES!!!!

I dont think ARE has a very good history in regards to "ball security"

I think Sanders has taken over the #3 WR spot, according to Bouchette. But I cannot read his blog in that PG+ Section because it requires a paid subscription. The headline said it but I can't read anything else.

Ed: Sanders Moves Up to No. 3 Sunday, 21 November 2010 14:04 Written by Ed Bouchette

Mike Tomlin once promised changes and then never made them, this before the Steelers played their disastrous game at Cleveland last season.

This week, he promised no changes but made at least two of them --- rookie Emmanuel Sanders has risen to No. 3 receiver and Ramoon Foster, as noted earlier, started at right guard instead of Trai Essex.

Antwaan Randle El has not yet played at wide receiver today and both Sanders and fellow rookie Antonio Brown have. That’s another change that Tomlin made, dressing both rookie wide receivers for the same game for the first time.

Sanders, though, is clearly No. 3 today and Randle El is, maybe, No. 5. Randle El has been a disappointment at wide receiver. The one time he was on the field, he lined up in the backfield, took the snap and pitched it to Ben Roethlisberger who threw incomplete. Sanders already has had three passes thrown his way and caught one. He should have caught another deep one but did not look like the old No. 88 (Lynn Swann) when he dropped it.

This was Ed just talking about yesterdays game. The next game could obviously be different if Allen is healthy.

Thanks for posting this. I wanted to read it but I'm too cheap to pay for Douchette's blog. I hope they somehow keep Brown and Sanders both in there or at least one of them at #3 for El because nobody respects El in the passing game.

No problem. I was interested too after you brought it up. They will usually let you look at a few pages before the "register" page comes up. Although, it is the internet, and sometimes there's ways around the paid content issue... Just remember Google is you friend.

Yeah, though if Sweed does come through, I wouldn't call 6'4 220 pounds undersized.

I was excited for Sweed this year. Its a shame that he got injured because you heard nothing but good things prior to the pre season. He could be the Ace in the hole. And he the adversity that he faced so far and try to use it as motivation you could see another star on the Steeler WR Depth chart. Im sure Limas has a huge chip on his shoulder. I really hope we keep him around...

I don't think they would have used 2 draft picks at WR this year if Sweed was in their future plans. I somehow doubt we will ever see Sweed in the Black and Gold again. Unless he becomes a corner, then neither corner can catch a ball. Just kidding Ike, I love ya and the pick six was yours yesterday, if it wasn't for those incompetent refs.

Hines is old. He can't play forever. ARE has bricks in his shoes so I don't know if he'll last. Arnaz Battle is the Tomlin version of Sean Morey. That leaves the young trio. I'm not saying Sweed will be guaranteed any spot but I hope he gets a shot in training camp.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS INACTIVES

1. #26 Will Allen, S

2. #27 Jonathan Dwyer, RB

3. #28 Crezdon Butler, CB

4. #61 Chris Scott, OT

5. #66 Tony Hills, OT

6. #91 Aaron Smith, DE

7. #99 Brett Keisel, DE

8. (3rd QB) #16 Charlie Batch

Isn't it great that we cut this year's number 4 pick Thaddeus Gibson so we could keep Tony Hill safe?!

The worst thing is Thaddeus missed most of the OTA's because coming from OSU, which doesn't do finals until May, their players are ineligible to participate by league rules unless they've already graduated. Anyway young players often have their greatest growth from their rookie season to their second season, so it really pisses me off that we kept useless Tony Hill, who can't even find his way on the active roster after a hand grenade takes out most of his OL breathren at the expense of Gibson!





Antonio Brown is a genuine weapon, I can't see any reason that he shouldn't be activated and play every game from here on out.

I sure dig Downtown Brown, but the Steelers need to KEEP both Brown and Sanders in the games, consistently.

If you need to put someone in the back primarily for ball security....you have one sad sack of crap of return men. And for the record, he's already muffed two punts

Amen brother hopefully they will not let ARE back on the field unless it is an emergency.

What, does he do CPR or something? 'cause other than that I can't think of an emergency big enough to put him back on a punt return again.
