To visit Titans and Pats, per rotoworld
 
Pats are scooping from the bottoms of barrels....I love it
 
He's gonna reveal one of our outside CB game day strategies...give 15 yard cushion, watch guy blow by anyways or blow tackle...we're screwed!!!

Hope the Pats sign him and whoever he's matched up against breaks Flipper Anderson's single game yardage record.
 
Wow, talk about a dream scenario...lose our worst starter to our biggest AFC rival.

Although I could see Lebeau scooping him up.

Antwon Blake is a gem. A true diamond in the rough. All he needs is a good coach - and Hoodie is a good coach. Sign him for $9mil/season and start him every game.

please.
 
something tells me you're being facetious.

that bonus money is paid up front, of course. it's a LTBE incentive.
 
15m in bonus ought get it done, but heck throw 25m at him so that fish don't fall off the hook

As long as he's not a Steeler. I thank him for the off field/on field effort he put in. But he's not starting material
 
Pats trying to goad us into overpaying him, like they did with Sanders a few years ago.
 
we in their heads causing a ruckus.
they're not in ours because we dont have anything to cause a ruckus.

Its almost a sure thing Lebeau wouldve targeted Gay if he hit FA, good thing the Steelers locked him up early, now they have to settle for Blake lol.
 
Blake take whatever you are offered. We support your decision





to leave.
 
Hoodie to Blake: "you still have your playbook kid?"
Blake: "sure do."
Hoodie: "bring to with you and we have a deal".

Only way Blake gets picked up by the Cheaters.
 
Oh, man. I may be the only guy on here who kinda likes Blake. I know his issues, believe me. I have said this before though. Some of you have coached. You have that kid who may not have as much talent but scraps. you love that kid. That's Blake. He's a scrapper. I'd rather have a team with scrappers that one with tons of talent but no guts.

One needs talent to win.

Blake is not even a remotely good CB.

I agree with his commitment to the game, and he has impressive instincts, hands and speed, but the guy is stiff as a board.

You need scrappers, too. Was Rocky Bleier super talented? How about a guy like Jerry Olsavsky? Larry Foote? Hell, Hines Ward?

Again, I know the guys issues. You know how when you are watching games you get mad at guys when they **** up? With Blake I'd get mad, but I'd feel bad getting mad because the kid tries hard. I am well aware that is no reason to sign him, but could it at least allow him to get out of town without all the acrimony?
 
Blake's bad plays outnumber his good plays by 10 to 1.
 
Well Antwon has made a few good plays and I thank him for his time here as a STEELER. Play hard for where ever you end up.


Salute the nation
 
Cheat , steal doi whatever you need, hope the Pats sign this POS. The pure stupidity of trotting his sorry *** out there week after week is all on Tomlin, he loves some crappy players way too much.
 
Please, please, please let him sign with the Pats, or ANYBODY but the Steelers!!

Denver thanks us for not "overpaying" him. Seriously I'd be a little careful of laughing at the Pat's interest. Belichek may be a lot of bad things but he is a pretty damn good evaluator of talent.

Do we miss him?
Heck, if Hoodie can turn Blake into a decent corner, more power to him. He has not played well for us. Thing of it is, it's not Blake. It's the coaching staff. Blake did his best, he just isn't good enough. But the coaches continued to put him out there week after week and he continued to get burned. It was infuriating.

Edited to add .... Um, nevermind, we might miss Sanders now.

Yep. If I knew the coaching staff was going to play Blake as a No. 4 corner and special teamer, I'd want him back. Based on last year, they though higher of him and that was a mistake and one that I don't want to see repeated.
