      It's a perfect match. A QB that extends plays + a WR that works his butt off to get open. AB is a young Hines. Has just a little chip about his draft status and naysayers that pushes him to greatness. Give Ben a modestly athletic big WR on the other side to distract the DBs and AB's numbers might shatter records.

        Yep! We kept a real player and let the poser go. Thank goodness we didn't waste money on Wallace.

          Brown is Digest Player of Week

          Bob Labriola
          Steelers Digest

          He caught five passes for 66 yards and a touchdown, and if there was a back-breaking moment for the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday night it came on his 67-yard punt return for the touchdown that extended the Steelers lead to 21-0 at the end of a first quarter in which he scored two of the three touchdowns himself.

          Antonio Brown is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.

          Also considered were Ben Roethlisberger, who completed 20-of-25 for 191 yards with one touchdown and one interception; Troy Polamalu, who had five tackles, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble; Ziggy Hood, who had four tackles including one for loss, the team’s only sack, and a fumble recovery; Le’Veon Bell, who had 107 yards from scrimmage – 57 rushing and 50 receiving – and a touchdown; and Shaun Suisham, who was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, including a 45-yarder into the open end of Heinz Field, and had good distance and placement on his kickoffs.

              Brown is okay in my book. I think if the offensive line keeps protecting Ben with even more time and safety that they have been doing, Ben, Brown, Cotchery and Miller could be the Fantastic Four of the NFL.

                If Brown is just okay, can I ask what he needs to do to have you think he's a top WR in the NFL? I know he's not 6'4" tall and he doesn't weigh 220 pounds, however, he gets open, makes plays, makes tough catches, blocks, and has to be accounted for by the defense.

                      Has anyone ever gone back and looked at Brown's college stats? Catching tons of passes is what he's been doing since he was a freshman. Nothing he does now is really a surprise to me anymore.

                        Plus can run back punts for TDs which is another skill our former WR with supposed blazing speed also couldn't do

                          Forget running - can you imagine Wallace even being able to catch a punt? Too much required coordination for that guy.

                            A friend of mine's brother used to coach at Central Michigan and said Brown was insane... he said we were in for a treat when we drafted him.

                              Whom do we credit for the quality receivers we have seemed to have gotten here in the not so long ago past ? Was it Arians, Scouts, Tomlin, Colbert ?

                                Your friend wasn't joking, that's for sure. It's no doubt that the Steelers didn't waste time giving Brown his contract and not messing too much with Wallace. When they did that, I knew they knew Brown would be more than enough as our go to guy when it comes to receiver. To me, Brown is offering up more than Wallace in his own way. Teams are still keying on him and with that, our other guys are getting the ball. Also, Brown seems to make more happen and does more of the pony stuff that Tomlin was speaking about.
