Landry Jones cut. Not surprising given how improved Dobbs looked in preseason.
Patterson also cut in favor of DHB and newly-added return specialist Ryan Switzer, but I expect he'll be on the practice squad.
Martavis Bryant cut by the Raiders. Suspected suspension on the way. Thanks for the draft pick, John.
I like it. We've seen what Landry can do when called upon. Also not getting any younger. Dobbs is an extremely bright guy from all accounts and has legs that LJ was lacking.
Have a feeling we're up for a Tomlin Special this weekend. Not sure if the Steelers lose, but I think it will be very close.
I agree. There is something in the air, at Cleveland, all the hype that the Browns are drastically improved. But I picked the Steelers 27-17 on the Browns thread so I'll go with it but that doesn't mean it won't be difficult.
Don't really see the player holdouts doing nothing but increasing. It's trickled down to college players missing bowl games recently to maintain health. Some key players who held out till last week got PAID and weren't going to suit up until doing so. Kinda understand Bell and his agent wanting him to be in top health and have the most value when looking for a long term deal this offseason. It's a business on both sides whether we as fans like it or not.
I really see some top college players sitting out more and more games here in the future. If a player's team isn't in the running for a conference championship do they start sitting the last few games and risk injury when they know it could cost them millions?

Sounds like his teammates have as much of a problem with what he's doing as the fans.

It does sound like it.
I think the players realize as well that the window to win in the NFL is short, and the steelers window right now is darn near closed and without Bell at full speed it is completely closed.
If he was getting hosed on a deal then fine, hold out, but the dude will make bank this year.
He is being extremely SELFISH in the ultimate team game.
I bet Odell B would not have got a new deal if he didn't report for camp. LB needed to show a good faith gesture and come to camp and get some work in. I woulda been fine with him getting zero reps in the preseason games.
I have no issue with Bell's holding out. None at all.
I can't believe that they can tag a guy a second year.
I don't like that a team can repeat franchising a guy, but that's the NFLPA's fault. I also don't have much sympathy for him when he's guaranteed being paid as a top 5 back and would make $853K a game. He also purportedly told teammates he was coming in then left them hanging.

Conner’s 4th Q fumble pretty much cost them a win. He gets an A+ from me
