  • How much was Greco going to make this year?

    I was more upset about them cutting him than Haden... Nice to have versatile veteran backups, especially when Bitonio has not been exactly the most durable player.

  • Greco was due to make $3.2mm IIRC... I know it was $3-something.

    Were he the same Greco I saw going into 2016, then I'd agree... but he wasn't.

    It is worth noting that John has not yet been signed by anyone.

    So, I suspect it was certainly not all about the money in ditching Greco...as apparently he wasn't making all that much.  I guess they just wanted to ditch just about everyone over a certain age.

    Now...only JT, Colquitt and McCourty are on this team who are 30 or over.  JT and Colquitt both 32, McCourty is 30.     That includes anyone on the IR or PS.

    Bad guess...

    This is where the FO earns it's money (if you can say that now $$$$), almost as important as picking the draft picks.

  • Who gives a shit now they are gone, Let's talk about moving forward  and see if they will lower ticket prices since we can't put together a winning ef'n team.

    Perfectly accurate guess.....as except for JT....who this FO would likely have traded if Jimmy had not put the kibosh on it, and a punter.....only McCourty is 30.....and he is just 30.

  • No...

    Then lets hear your twisted logic.

  • I think the Clowns may have well and truly f*cked up.

    By all accounts Haden is having no speed or quickness issues and is in no way overmatched on either AB or Bryant. Also reported that he was able to match step for step with DHB.... arguably the fastest player on our team.

    Sounds like a self serving ...and not necessarily true, statement.  If he is so fast and quick....why was that not the case throughout the preseason here?   Because it was not.  He couldn't keep up with Rashard Higgins and Ricardo Louis.....not quite on par with AB.   Was he faking it or dogging it because he didn't want to play for Greg Williams, who had challenged him?

    Or, maybe, as many have said...including your ilk:  Haden will perform better in the Steeler's zone rather than in the man to man that Williams runs. Maybe that is what is happening

    Not sure.

    Trying to look at objectively, but the Steelers typically don't put out "fluff" or false stories just to generate hype.

    And I haven't heard anything about zone, I've heard about him going 1vs1 without looking mismatched or outclassed.

    Maybe the Stains WRs are just secretly the fastest in the league?

    Don't know, but I do know multiple sources from the Pittsburgh sports media have confirmed this.

    No...but their fans certainly do....and all we have is your word that he is doing "so great".  

    And I haven't heard anything about zone, I've heard about him going 1vs1 without looking mismatched or outclassed.

    Then it would be the first time in 3 years that that is the case

    Or, maybe, except for the one guy, the Steelers WRs ain't all that.  I actually subscribe to this theory more.

    Maybe they are just a wishin' and hopin'....and you know what Dusty Springfield said about that.

  • I will tell you flat out that it is a FACT that the Browns FUCKED up by letting Haden go. 

    He was already under contract and being paid very well for past services rendered. However, he was injured and unable to play the way he was known to play the past year and a half, so big dick Sashi Brown demanded a pay-cut and Haden said, "fuck that noise, I played hurt for this team all year, and even though it effected my stat line, I did it for my team". Then big dick Sashi Brown said, "we didn't draft you, so you either take a pay cut OR you'll be cut within a week if we can't find a team to take your contract off our hands". Haden said, "you do that and I'll be in your nightmares twice a year in a Yellow and Black Freddie Kruger mask..." Sashi said, "Yeah, I doubt that you'll find any team willing to employ an oft injured, over-the-hill veteran with diminished skills... blah, blah, blah" 

    So, in other news. We also let go of Calvin Pryor, who IMO was looking pretty good back there at Safety because of a fight. It would have been a knock out secondary with Peppers/Kindred/Pryor back there. Oh well, at least we have Myles... oh wait, nevermind, he's actually injured too. 

    Same old shit. FUCK!!!!😠

  • Haden hasn't lived up to his contract since the ink dried, probably pick 6 balls and got to the Pro Bowl with Pittsburgh this year

  • Can't wait to light that traitor up like a Christmas tree Sunday.

  • hee haw!!

    dude will retire in a browns uni.

  • Vindication

    PFF rated Haden all of 51.4 today.  Once again, the FO was right...

    You cant base the performance of a player off of one game. I thought he had a solid game honestly. He almost had a int.
