Maybe Ben gets it after all!

I'm thinking maybe Ben sees the window closing and is starting to wake up.

If these guys could play ball with broken fingers I'd be alright with that. I wish they would all just delete their twiitter accounts. Are they really dumb enough to not see that once you put it out there whether you delete the comment or not the damage is done?
I always knew football players weren't rocket scientists (except Dobbs ) but some display next level stupidity if not flat out childishness.

Yeah, Edmunds removed his like but people already noticed it of course. Anyway, whatever AB is saying no Steelers' player should like it. They just should avoid him completely since nothing good is coming from him.

I just read he missed the first day of OTA's at Oakland. Glad we got rid of him. Meanwhile:

This group can be(and I think they will be) SO much better without AB. More catches for everyone and more plays to be had spreading the ball around. And don't forget to POUND THE ROCK!I don't know about anyone else but I'm anxious to see some "Benny Snell football".

Time to move forward.

Let Connor soften them up and Benny will beat the Snell out of them.

i think ben went over the top taking blame.
ab, the media and other ben haters are gonna use his responses and say, 'i told you it was bens fault and not ABs or bell or tomlin or boswell"

Yeah at least Big Ben owned up to his mistakes. A.B. just did not and that of Bell for the reason.

I'm neither a Ben hater nor a Ben apologist, although I've been accused of being both at various times. With all aspects of the team, I try to be as objective as a fan can be. I give praise when I think it's earned, and criticism when I think it's deserved.

With that said, I think there's lots of blame to go around for all the drama surrounding the Steelers. It doesn't fall on just one person. With the Ben and AB situation, I think they both share some of the blame. But Ben took the high road and acted like a mature adult. For awhile he said nothing. Then when he did speak, he offered an olive branch to AB. I didn't see it as an acceptance of full blame, but an effort to bury the hatchet. In response, AB spit in his face, so to speak.

Truthfully. I don't care who started it and who shoulders the blame. All that matters is what happens going forward. So far, Ben has handled the situation as well as one can, while AB has acted like a spoiled child.

I agree. All Ben did here is apologize for his role and IMO that's all he needed to do. AB was gonna go off the rails sooner or later. Ben was a small piece of this puzzle with AB BEING the puzzle. This will all come out in Oakland and also with the Jets when Bell's production drops off.
This off season Ben has been hanging out with team mates and doing what a leader should do.
I'm all in if the drama stops and this team gets on track and stays there.

Plenty of blame to go around. Ben for lack of leadership (that has come from way too many sources to not be somewhat true), Tomlin for allowing AB to get to where he did, AB for being a narcissistic piece of shit...

All that being said I cant wait to see Bell tank in NY and AB to tear apart the Raiders when they both start losing.

The organization did the right thing they cut the cancers out. Ben hopefully has learned he has to be a better leader and hopefully Tomlin quits playing favorites with his "star" players. Everyone helped create the Bell/AB monsters and Tomlin could have put a lid on it a while back but you live and learn.

No drama. Everyone working together and no drama. Spirits are high and so are expectations with no drama.

Maybe getting rid of Bell and Brown could do him good as well as the rest of the team. Time to start anew. New start and new era.

I agree and I also think that the ones who want to win and want to do it in a Steeler's uniform are waking up. Those 2 were bad for us and I think they will be bad for whatever team they're on. Time will tell though.
