JuJu's Shot at AB

[Buzz]

Larry Brown Sports | Mar 10


JuJu Smith-Schuster posted a somewhat subtle reaction to the Antonio Brown trade on Twitter Sunday, but the context of the photo he shared makes it obvious he was taking a shot at his former teammate.

On the surface, it appeared Smith-Schuster was simply indicating he is ready to take on a bigger role now that Brown is no longer with the Steelers. Of course, the photo he used was from a game against the Raiders, and Brown was one of the players standing in the background.

Apparently there is a lot more to it than that. Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly remembers the exact play, and it was initially ruled incomplete. Thinking the throw should have gone to him, Brown then proceeded to throw a temper tantrum on the sideline. The call was overturned, with Smith-Schuster and the Steelers being awarded the touchdown.

This play AB went nuts and threw his helmet and pouted on sidelines. Thought ball should’ve been thrown to him. When they reversed the call he almost seemed embarrassed. I was watching with binoculars the entire time.

Coincidence? Of course not.

Smith-Schuster may have said all the right things about Brown demanding a trade, but it seems like he is happy with the result.

Juju emergence had a part into this too.

["BuzzNuter"]

AB saw the connection between JuJu and Ben getting stronger. JuJu has a bigger catch radius and he is easier to throw to. Ben likes big receivers. Plex was his leading target his first year. JuJu was rising and AB was falling . AB knew it ie. the whole mess.

JUJU ! I love this kid...

I can see why everyone is cautious about him turning into one of those diva WRs.

Just hope the organization from top to bottom keeps everyone humble and hungry.

Let's just hope for the best he doesn't and enjoy his enthusiasm and fun!

As much as you don’t want to see JuJu become anything close to AB personality wise, there is a difference between high quality player-diva and high quality player-cancer. AB skirted the line way too often, but Hines Ward seemed to balance it out ok, for example. JuJu is fun. You don’t want to take that away. Just hope that someone makes him remember how the AB thing played out, and hope he realises it was the wrong way to do business. He seems a smart guy. At this point, Chadman isn’t too concerned.

. Just hope that someone makes him remember how the AB thing played out, and hope he realises it was the wrong way to do business.

That's what worries me. It may have been the wrong way to do business in our eyes. But it seems like more and more players are starting to believe that it's the only way for them to do business.

The AB thing played out exactly the way AB wanted it to.

Ju Ju named MVP of the team. After the Bronco's game Ben said he thought they should have gone to Ju Ju 4 straight times.

AB wanted the money, but make no mistake about it; AB was like the hottest chick at the bar, getting all the looks and free drinks and then turned into a catty b!tch when another hot chick (Ju Ju) walked in and all the heads turned and attention was directed elsewhere.

[pittpete]

Nice analogy, where is this bar located bro?

[Steel Maniac]

We need to focus on going forward. Forget AB & Rosenhaus. Karma is a boomerang.
