Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus. -
Who is this mysterious WR Flippy keeps alluding to? Just tell us already. The suspense is killing me...sigpicComment

David Gilreath was better known for his ability to return kickoffs and punts at Wisconsin than for his offensive prowess at WR. I also didn't realize he only weighs 169 lbs although he may be a little heavier now...
Height / Weight:
5-11 / 169
Career: Holds Big Ten record for career kickoff returns with 135 and career kickoff return yards with 3,025 yards ... holds school record for kickoff return yards in a season (967) and in a game (189) ... ranks third all-time in school history with 5,265 career all-purpose yards ... ranks fifth all-time at Wisconsin with 721 punt return yards ... ranks 21st all-time at Wisconsin with 1,077 career receiving yards ... registered the second-longest touchdown run (90 yards) in UW history against Indiana in 2008 ... 28 career games with at least 100 all-purpose yards

One names I have not heard mentioned is Toney Clemons. Why is that? He has better physical tools than Gilreath and could develop. There was an article on Keenan Lewis the other day where it talked about Clemons catching a tough jump ball over him? He has Wallace speed with a 4.36 forty time at 6' 2". If he learns to concentrate more, he could be a weapon in the next few years.
Lewis, in perfect coverage, had a deep ball snagged over his head by Toney Clemons, who was playing the role of stud New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks -- right in front of team owners Dan and Art Rooney II

That's a good comparison! I would certainly put him there with guys like Mills, Charles Johnson, Nate Washington (I like him better than Nate though).
I certainly don't see him as a "#1 on most teams". I really don't even think he is a great #2. (He would be a good #2 to me at best.)I wasn't hired for my disposition.Comment

Limas Sweed had no problem "soup canning" in practice. It's what you do in game situations. When given a chance Clemons didn't show anything. He has the physical tools just like Sweed, but who knows if he is a game time gamer. What I do know is when Gilreath got a chance to play, he played his heart out and owned the field. That has to stand for something no matter how small the guy is.Trolls are people too.Comment

That's a bit of hyperbole...
Derrick Williams also owned the field when he had a chance to play in the preseason...
The Steelers thought enough of both Gilreath and Clemons to give each a chance to develop as professionals on the PS...they will get another shot next year, most likely...Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.Comment

Can someone explain "soup canning" to me? I don't get it. I get what happened, just not sure why they're calling it "soup canning".sigpicComment
