On Sunday normal starting CB Artie Burns was noticably omitted from the field when the Browns offense was on the field. Burns only played on special teams as the Steelers defeated the Browns 33-18 at Heinz Field. We now know apparently know why Burns was benched. Steelers cornerback Artie Burns was late to a team […]

If the Giants were able to trade Eli Apple, then the steelers could get something for Burns. Apple makes Burns look like Rod Woodson.

Burns is pretty good in man. He just struggles with any kind of zone scheme. He can be good for a team that wants a guy to just play man.
 
Burns has the tools to be a good player, but when he's off his game, he's really bad. I want to see this guy succeed, just not sure if we'll get a chance to see that happen with the Steelers.

I thought Apple kinda sucked (some off field issues, right?). Figured i misremembered sin e someone actually traded for him.
 
Was not missed at all, shoot most of us did not even see he was not there, lets hope he misses all meetings or Tomlin cans see he does not do a thing to make the defense better.
 
Hilton is their best slot corner but can't really understand why he isn't in base. He has the best ball skills and is always on his man. Not good size but at least the guy battles.

Hilton doesn't have the speed to play outside.

He has the ideal skillset for the slot, though. Really smart, quick and tough.
 
Sensi- played a respectable game. I'm wondering if cvoach cool shades has been reading this board and actually administering some discipline........ BROWN even looked behaved yesterday.....




Salute the nation
 
See.....Tomlin benched him basically the whole game. Bellicheat is only holding Josh Gordon out the first quarter for the same infraction plus one more...

Tomlin was more stern on this one IMO.....
 
Late for practice just like he's late to the ball.
 
Interesting! Last years Jags playoff game LevBell missed the Saturday walk thru and was late arriving Sunday it was reported but he started. Tomlin’s double standard rule I guess.

Then there’s Belichick who benches his best CB in the SB for disciplinary reasons but then there is the Josh Gordon ordeal. Crazy!

Was a way for Tomlin to not look like he drafted a big bust late meeting my chance to bench Burns.
