Antonio Brown missed practices, game after dispute with teammate
https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/...s/201812310108
Steelers receiver Antonio Brown did not play in the season-ending game against the Cincinnati Bengals because he elected to sit out practice last week after an unspecified heated dispute with a teammate, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has learned. Several sources said the Steelers’ decision to not play Brown against the Bengals had nothing to do with any type of knee injury. The disagreement occurred Wednesday morning during a routine walk-through practice that precedes their regular afternoon practice on the South Side. Brown became disgusted and threw a football in anger at one of his teammates, several sources said. After that, Brown did not practice the rest of the week. According to a source, it was Brown’s decision not to practice with his teammates. He did not attend Saturday’s walk-through practice and skipped the Saturday night meeting at the team hotel — the latest in missed meetings by the All-Pro receiver. Brown was never on the field for the start of the game against the Bengals and left Heinz Field at halftime, according to multiple sources. According to several sources, Brown showed up at Heinz Field expecting to play against the Bengals. That surprised several players, including one who called the situation “embarrassing” and “the worst I’ve seen.” That player said the entire situation and the way it was handled affected his desire to play in the game. |

Yes. He absolutely should be fired for instilling the culture that has allowed the toxic personalities and egos of a select group of individuals to fester and eventually rot any chances that team had left at success away.

Just remember the coaching style of "if you ball out I don't care what you do" can have some serious ramifications over time. I think that style can work for short periods of time, problem is the Steelers don't ever fire coaches so it's hard to have that work for a decade.

Look at the 1997 Chiefs. Then look at the 1998 Chiefs.

I doubt he makes it past the wild-card weekend. Chargers have film on him now. Hard to catch an NFL defense by surprise twice (unless it's ours)

They also get the lovely task of deciding what to do with Joe Flacco and CJ Mosely's contract is up...good luck.

If I were Harbaugh, I'd put out feelers to the Jets.

I'm expecting them to try and package Harbaugh and Flacco together as a package for draft picks to guarantee some foolish organization perpetual mediocrity.

Antonio Brown‘s teammates aren’t as trusting as his coach. On the same day that Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters he has no question to doubt the veracity of Brown’s claim that he had a knee injury last week, multiple unnamed Steelers players tell Aditi Kinkhabwala that they don’t believe Brown was injured. Which means that they think Brown quit on the team, days before a de facto playoff game. That doesn’t bode well for Brown’s future with the team. If he has lost the locker room, there’s no reason to bring him back. |
