Bryant Wants Increased Role or Traded

Talking to Anderson on the phone but didn't ask for a sit down with Tomlin.


Yep this guy is a ******* idiot.
 
Hooray for entitled athletes... I really like the new Me first atmosphere of the locker room... it started with Sanstonio, was carried over to young money, and now its here to stay... get me the ball, pay me 17 million, force ot to me 20 times a game...
 
Does this numbskull not realize that running his mouth like this isn't what gets guys paid? Working hard and putting up numbers gets you paid. Sitting out a year because you can't stay away from the wacky weed also does not help dumb ****. Guy is on his last strike, ain't doing **** but flapping his gums and wants to get paid. Good luck with that.
 
I will take the positive from the whole thing. He obviously is feeling better if he took a call and had an interview. He should back and ready when they practice again. Glad you are feeling better Bryant. You must have that rogue bug going around that has been hitting people weekly for a day.
 
I would pull him into a room and tell him to shut the **** up work hard catch the damn ball or your *** is just going to be getting splinters and will stay there for the duration of your contract. No trades no cuts. Work hard and be a good teammate or be irrelevant for the next year and a half.
 
Martavis Bryant: "I’m not being selfish, it’s just I want to help contribute
Here's an idea.

There's a WR on this team, a former 1st round pick who was selected seventh overall, now entering his 9th season, who plays special teams. Wanna play St, Martavis? I think I'd rather play DHB, even if his hands are still somewhat suspect, and sit MB until he becomes nothing but a memory if he keeps this crap up. F' him. If we can't get an awesome trade offer for this dude, and soon, I say let him ride the bench in civies. We don't need this crap. Let he and his mouth begin to find page 6 of the news columns instead of the daily front page barrage of him spewing his selfish rants.
 
Martavis Bryant spoke to ESPN’s Josina Anderson last night on the phone and reaffirmed his desire to be traded if he doesn’t see the football more. You can follow along with her tweets below. #Steelers WR Martavis Bryant to me: "If they don’t try to include me more and continue to do the same thing, […]

So being out here in San Diego I normally listen to Tunch & Wolf and then Savaran. What station is BB's radio program on...wondering if I can listen via iheart or something....
 
Is it just me or does it always appear that drug addicts think the world evolve around themselves. They lie all the time, as soon as they get in trouble everybody is supposed to stop what they are doing and help them, it's never their fault that they are in the position that they are in. I hope he is suspended for at least 1 game and everytime he pulls a stunt like he did on Monday suspend him again, he has no leverage, he still is under contract for next year and they can tag him after that so he will not win this game he is playing if they really want to screw him over.

Bryant has time to contact ESPN with his self entitled spoiled I deserve more attitude. Can't come answer his own question at the Steelers facility, he is sick The Rooney's and coaches stood behind this character when suspended and out of football for a year. He comes back and attacks Ben not talking to him when in all reality he should have be so humble no one would have known he was around. Bryant's pompous attitude deserves to be deactivated and let go at end of year. I hope Tomlin and Mr. Rooney stand up to this action, this team needs no distractions than we have already had this year. With Bryant's attitude what would we get trying to trade him, this past game he gained nothing on end round play when if he would have cut up with blocker may have. He was totally lost on the deep pass that Ben can't throw when Bryant should have caught. Bryant catches ball in between five yard line and goal and turns out instead of in towards the goal where every yard counts for us. So he produced what?? Increased role comes with making plays, fighting for the ball , doing your job. To many other receivers on this team want to play and make a difference. Your team just played to good teams and won and this doesn't fit your me, me ,me attitude. I bet Tomlin is sorry he said no issue last week when Bryant sends his girlfriend out to get his message to the masses.
 
They're not going to tag him. He'd get a HUGE pay increase. He's under rookie contract still which limits his options significantly. The very best thing he can do is ask for a meeting with the coaches and get their input on what he can do.

What's being floated around the webosphere is that he was supposed to be the featured guy last week and for whatever reason it didn't happen. Maybe Ben got pissed after that bomb that MB didn't ball out on. I don't know. But the word is MB thought he was going to get quite a few more balls thrown his way in the game. Has anyone reviewed the game to see if he was open and Ben just didn't see him or chose to go another way? Ben did have quite a few incompletions after the first couple drives, I wonder what was going on there.
 
Watching the game again, when he did get ball did not make much of a play, Ben face towards the bench said tons when Bryant had no clue on the deep ball that Ben can't throw anymore. When he di go out he seemed to just run a straight deep pattern and not cross middle or out and stop patterns. The Bungals kept Bryant checked at line of scrimmage quite a bit. If the word is he was to be featured Bryant didn't make and big play at needed time. He did make a good block when Bell ran threw line backers and down side lines for his biggest play.
 
Ben just explained what happened on the deep ball..said it wasnt lack of effort. Small detailed missed

Not lack of effort the burst just wasn't there..corner was riding him like a ***** in heat.
 
Ben just explained what happened on the deep ball..was a run play. Ben told Bryant he may take a shot depending on the look of the defense. If they stay two deep safety they were going to run..they got two deep safeties but Ben said **** it lets take a chance. Martavis saw the two safety look and ran his man off as sometimes WRs do on running plays not to their side. The small detail missed was at ten yards martavis is supposed to look back for the ball to see if Ben is throwing but he didnt. Probably cause he saw the two safety look and assumed run. He didnt look back until 20 or 25 yards and never saw Ben throw the ball.

none of that matters if you aren't open
 
Is it possible that Martavis doesn't have the same quickness that he had 2 years ago. He gained a lot of weight in the offseason.. muscle or not, it is going to slow him down a little.
He still has the straight line speed but can't seem to get separation vs. man coverage on the shorter routes.
 
From everything ive read from different writers who attend practice he is still an athletic monster

When i say tag him i am not talking about the big money franchise tag, isn't their a cheaper tag that gets you a 3rd round pick if someone takes him?

I think the bulking up has impacted him. But missing football for a full year doesn't help.

Doesn't matter what writers say only matters the product you put on the field.

He isn't getting separation.
