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. -
Bengals put Vontaze Burfict on NFI, Tyler Eifert on PUP
Posted by Josh Alper on July 26, 2018, 11:17 AM EDT
Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert said earlier this week that he’s “feeling great,” but he didn’t get the green light to start practicing yet.
Eifert has been placed on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp. Eifert has missed most of the last two seasons due to a back injury and was limited this offseason after re-signing with the team.
Eifert isn’t the only veteran who failed to get cleared for practice. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict is on the non-football injury list with what the team is calling a tight hamstring.
Tight end Ryan Hewitt joins Burfict on the NFI list while fifth-round cornerback Davontae Harris and wide receiver Devonte Boyd join Eifert on the PUP list. Guard Christian Westerman and safety Tyrice Beverette are on the non-football illness list. All of those players are eligible to be activated at any time, but can’t practice until they come off their respective list.
In addition to that housekeeping, the Bengals also signed wide receiver Jared Murphy. He takes the place of tackle Javarius Leamon after Leamon did not report to camp.

3rd year in row for him to miss games at the beginning of the season:
2016: 3 games for repeated violations of player safety rules
2017: 5 games (reduced to 3) for a dirty hit in a pre-season game
2018: 4 games for PEDS
And he was a dirty POS in college as well.sigpicComment

Burfict is a POS; no doubt. Going around crying like a girl , blaming Juju.
Shouldn't it be a sign that the fact this guy is suspended at the beginning of the year for the last three years straight, that he shouldn't be in the league anymore?
He's a special case in that he's absolutely crazy. But they are obviously going to wait until he paralyzes someone before they kick him out.Comment
