    This one has worked out under the conditions the Steelers wanted it. They can't predict how the player will react when all is said and done.

    Not sure how I feel about not playing a guy but also not wanting to let another AFC tram have him because he is actually a really good player.

    Maybe we rotate him on more to keep guys fresh. Hell, if he is good enough to keep away from other teams we need to use him.
    I agree. Don't need another JHarrison sulking in team meetings. To NB's point, I did notice they played Watt and I think Ingram in the middle of the DL for a few snaps. I could see them doing this going forward to try to slow the run game of CLE. It will give him a few more snaps but maybe out of the position that he wants.

      We heard during the summer that there could be some personnel packages including all 3 OLBs. We will see if the bye week allows new plays and formations to be installed.

        I think the early playing time gave him a false sense of his expected snap count.

        He had to know he wasn’t starting and would be in rotation.

        But I totally understand wanting to play and I’m sure his agent told him KC wanted him. We better not give KC Ingram though.

          Steelers should try and get something for Eric Ebron, though I realize we wouldn't get much in return.

            Can’t he also play inside? I wouldn’t mind rotating him with Bush based on the way he’s been playing lately.

              We need to get what we can for him. He doesn't want to be here and we are going to need all the picks we can get in the next draft.
              the guy signed a 1 year deal off an injuey. i'm sure he wants to have more snaps to prove to teams he can play a few more years and sign one last (sort of) bug contract

              PS. just heard JJ watt is out for the year for the cards. maybe that is a good fit for ingram
