Pittsburgh Steelers Hats , the Steelers have been wondering what their All-Pro running back was going to do. While the Steelers knew they wouldn’t see Bell during offseason workouts, or even training camp, once Week 1 rolled around and Bell was an absentee...the real waiting began.As players were asked incessantly about Bell’s whereabouts, week by week Bell left $855 thousand dollars on the table weekly. Rumors were Bell would report during the team’s Week 7 bye week.Nope.Some thought when he bid farewell to Miami via Twitter, he was heading to the Steel City. Well, he showed up, but just to play some pick up basketball at an LA Fitness.It now came to the point where either Bell reports before Tuesday leading up to Week 11, or he is forced to sit out the entire season, this per the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the NFLPA and the NFL owners.Most assume with Bell in the area, he will be showing up on Monday

During the interview Rooney spoke about how the team fully expects Bell to return for the stretch run, and according to Rapoport the team wants Bell back, but Bell doesn’t reciprocate those feelings.This could just be another rumor in this sordid timeline, or it could be the truth. Either way, fans will know soon enough whether Bell will be a part of this 2018 team, or if they will be moving forward with a backfield of James Conner
Customized Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys , Stevan Ridley and Jaylen Samuels.10 Things I think I thought after the Ravens dismantled the Steelers on Sunday night The only thing worse than eating crow is crow eating you. Not only is it unpleasant, but it means you’re dead.Which brings me to my first thought — is this the end? I complained after the loss to the Chiefs how it seems the Steelers think their reputation is enough to win. Now I wonder if it was enough to make me think they could win. The Steelers lost this game because they are not very good. The vaunted O-line wasn’t very good. James Conner, Bell 2.0 wasn’t very good. Antonio Brown wasn’t very good. Big Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t very good. Weirdly, the defense wasn’t half bad. The window might have closed, friends. When Mike Tomlin walks out of the locker room to start the second half, he might as well just surrender a time-out and his challenge flag — it would save us all a lot of time.I believe it’s possible the apparent disconnect between AB’s brand and reality may have something to do with his lackluster start this year. Whether it makes any difference on the field or not, though, I pray the man can straighten out his personal life, for his sake and the sake of his kids.Bud Dupree had another nice game. For that I’m glad. I’d much rather have him prove his naysayers wrong, even if I’ve been one of them

The Steelers are without two of their brightest stars this year, one on either side of the ball. I don’t blame the front office for not fixing either problem. You don’t just run down to your corner “Ryan Shazier” store and pick up another one. And if Bell were ten times better than he already is, it still doesn’t mean the team could afford him. We’re fools if we think the Steelers are the same team without those two men. And, apropos thought No. 1, neither one is likely to come back.Next thought up? Next man up is an incoherent myth, on the sidelines as well. I don’t doubt that Todd Haley has personality issues. I don’t doubt that he and Ben had their struggles getting along. I do doubt that “Big Ben likes me” is a sufficient resume for an offensive coordinator in the NFL.It seems to me like both Haley and Fichtner think the way to keep a defense off balance is to run in passing situations, and to pass in running situations. Surprise! It doesn’t work. I miss Mike Mularkey, who understood, like a martial arts expert
Pittsburgh Steelers T-Shirt , how to use your enemy’s strengths against him. Misdirection was his game. And it was fun to watch.Even when the Steelers let me down, my beautiful wife keeps me going. She is the best.“A bad day at the office?” That’s Ben’s assessment? A bad day at the office is when the copy machine breaks and you have to meet with that annoying salesman. What happened at Heinz field was your biggest competitor coming to your office, eating your lunch then unleashing the SEC, the FBI and the Treasury Department hounds. If the Steelers lose to the Falcons, they’ll be 1-3-1, just a half game better than the Steelers were five games into the 1976 season, which might have been the best Steelers team ever. That group went on to win nine in a row, including three of which were shutouts. Were it not for the injury bug biting Franco and Rocky before the AFC Championship game against Oakland, the Steelers might have won a third in a row. Don’t stop believing.
