Steelers rookie Bud Dupree thrown off the field for fighting

Posted by Darin Gantt on August 19, 2015, 5:19 PM EDT

If the league’s not going to do anything about on-field fighting, the Steelers will.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin just kicked outside linebacker Bud Dupree off the practice field for fighting with a teammate.

It was the second tussle of the practice for Dupree, who tangled with guard Ramon Foster and wouldn’t let it go.

According to Dulac, the first-rounder was grabbed by veteran defensive end Cam Hayward in an effort to break things up, then escorted off the field by linebacker Lawrence Timmons.

This stage near the end of training camps is usually when most of the fights break out, with the Cowboys and Rams throwing down last night merely the most dramatic.

We’ll now anxiously tune into “the network” tonight to see how many times the Dupree scrap gets replayed, though it likely won’t be 11.

Finally, a little nasty, and Tomlin throws him off the field!

He had to get thrown off for show but JH will secretly praise him for not backing down....

Love it.....Was Jarvis there or already in the tub?

Dupree was fined his participation trophy for that day

Dupree is getting frustrated. Welcome to the NFL that little speed move you have doesn't work against the big boys.

[The Man of Steel]

Could we please refer to him only as Bust Dupree until he proves otherwise? Just for fun of course.

Ramon Foster was taunting him... calling him Dud Dupree....

Rookie lost his temper...

Rumor has it J.J. lost an arm flexing competition.to the CBs and was off challenging Kickers and Punters to redeem himself.

Good write-up on the Dupree incident:

Reading that also makes you root even more for Villanueva to make the roster. Sounds like a great team player.

I like to hear that Jones is improving. Especially strength wise. He may not be a "beat his guy and get to the qb" yet, but he's still our second best OLB, esp against the run.

Tomlin was overheard, saying....

Alvin?

Alvin!

ALVIN!!!

Nobody wants to hear that! It's too comforting to stick to preconceived ideas.

I heard he was on the sidelines telling some kids what a great pass rusher he was in college

Would love to see AV on the Final 53. I could see Haley doing some interesting things with him on a 2-point grouping of players. Plow someone over or catch a pass. That is a good skill set combo to have.

"Second best"...based on what? How can his supporters say he can't be criticized in one breath because he hasn't been on the field enough to evaluate but now he is "second best" but still hasn't been on the field enough to evaluate. Sorry for trying to understand the logic but I guess you can just consider it more "hate' from me.
