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.Comment

Martavis Bryant back to working with starters in Steelers practice
Posted by Darin Gantt on November 7, 2017, 6:35 AM EST
Martavis Bryant is working his way out of the doghouse, one step at a time.
According to Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Bryant was back working with the first offense when the Steelers returned from their bye week. Whether he stays there this week against the Colts remains to be seen, but it could be a clean slate for the wide receiver who created his own issues in recent weeks.
After social media posts hinting at wanting out of Pittsburgh to eventually actually saying it, the Steelers deactivated him in their last game, and replacement JuJu Smith-Schuster had a 193-yard night in his absence.
“I’m pretty sure I’m going to be out there,” Bryant said. “It’s a long week. It’s only Monday. I’ll come back in here Wednesday, get the game plan and go from there.”
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was willing to joke with Bryant in the locker room about all the attention he was getting, but wasn’t making any promises about his role. Asked whether he was confident Bryant could contribute in the second half, Tomlin replied: “I’m not. We’ll see.”
Bryant took a more optimistic view.
“That ain’t my business to worry about what someone else says,” the receiver said. “Even though he’s the coach, I still have to go out and prepare and show him what I’m capable of. You have to pull yourself along. I wasn’t down on myself at all about what he said. . . .
“We’ve got a long season to go, still. I have to finish, work hard and make the best of all situations and go from there.”
The Steelers would love to have Bryant around and engaged, because he has shown he can help. But he also missed a year with a drug suspension, so they’re hedging their bets by using a second-round pick on Smith-Schuster, and waiting to see how Bryant responds.

Mike Tomlin: Martavis Bryant “did a nice job of dealing” with suspension
Posted by Josh Alper on November 7, 2017, 1:39 PM EST
Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant said on Monday that he expects to be in the lineup against the Colts this weekend after serving a one-game suspension in Week Eight.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has the same expectation. Tomlin said on Tuesday that he believes Bryant will play on Sunday after being disciplined for the team due to social media posts about his role and other players on the team.
“He did a nice job of dealing with the suspension and working hard to get better at his craft,” Tomlin said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “That being said, we’re moving forward. As in all cases, even with the injured guys, we’ll let preparation and what happens in that preparation be our guide. But I’m comfortable with the trajectory of where he is coming off the missed action.”
JuJu Smith-Schuster, who was mentioned in a Bryant posting, had a big game against the Lions while Bryant was serving his ban. That should have the rookie joining Antonio Brown as the team’s top wideout options unless Bryant recovers his 2015 form upon his return to action.
