This staff has made it VERY clear that you must make a huge amount of effort to make the plays on the field and ONLY those players that are driven to be better will be here
I like that
That's the main problem with "stars" - in many cases they think they've proved what they could do and don't need to practice or showcase their ability on EACH and EVERY play - in PRACTICE and on SUNDAYS
let them go - try someone else - it does not matter how great they are or even if they go to a team in the NFC EAST
WE ARE REBUILDING HERE - when we get good they will be done anyway
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)
In the 2008 draft, Limas Sweed was the next receiver taken after Malcolm Kelly. What else does he have in common with Kelly?
Both 6' 4"
Both missed all of last season.
Both played for the Big 12 in college (Kelly for Texas)
Both were relea - HOLD ON! NOT YET! Kelly is still breathing - on life support, but still breathing.
In a move that should surprise no one, the Steelers have parted ways with receiver Limas Sweed.
A second-round pick in the 2008 draft, Sweed was supposed to be the big receiver whom Ben Roethlisberger coveted, to the dismay of Hines Ward.
Sweed was waived earlier today with the “injured” designation. If he isn’t claimed, he’ll land on the Steelers’ injured reserve list. Either way, he won’t be playing for the Steelers this year, absent a timely injury settlement, which would allow him to return to the team later in the year. (It gets complicated.)
Appearing in 20 career regular-season games, Sweed has seven catches for 69 yards. He had two catches for 20 yards in the 2008 postseason.
The Steelers also waived tight end Eugene Bright from the Physically Unable to Perform list, and they signed defensive backs Macho Harris and Kevin Dockery.
Kevin got picked up before his brother, DocK! Go Figure!
I think that Kelly's gone soon - we have a bunch of other options and this guy has not been able to stay healthy
sorry - I hope he get's a chance to play but I don't think it's going to be here
