Bud Dupree never, ever practices or plays...Questionable

How can this defense ever get to an optimal level with this guy never on the field.

I just don't see someone who never practices being able to make an impact. This guy won't make it thru the year, ask any orthopedic, Bell will have an awful hard time making it thru the year. Ben can't make it a full season either. Pouncey...

Everyone is excited for the season, as they should be, but we have too many injury prone guys on this team and dummies imo.

I'm hoping Conner gets some carries, but MT sucks Bell's cock and lets him do what he wants so I'm guessing he's on the field for 2 snaps. Dude is selfish and shouldn't get all the snaps.

Par for the course for Dupree... Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him replaced by Chickillo.

So... Bud played in 16 games in 2015. He's really had just one injury -- granted, it caused him to miss 11 games last season. But to say he never, ever practices or plays isn't accurate.

And how does Tomlin let Bell do whatever he wants? What would you do differently? There is an argument to be made that Bell's workload should be reduced to increase his longevity and effectiveness late into the season and post-season, but do you bench a top-3 RB because he held out of training camp? Do you give him a vicious tongue lashing? Or do you have some understanding of how business is done in the NFL and realize that there is nothing you can do to prevent a holdout?

Not an issue to panic over. Could just be precautionary coach's decision. Move Watt over to LOLB and keep Deebo at ROLB. :twisted:

I share the OPs frustration.
WTF?!?! Was my reaction to Bud yet again on injury report
Too many soft players not just on Steelers its a league wide epidemic
The Chiefs beat the Pats
The Chiefs lost Berry for the season
The Steelers can win the AFC
Not looking like key players such as Bud and Shaz can be counted on

It is a long season. If his ankle is not right, this is a good game to miss.

Steelers OLB Bud Dupree (shoulder) is questionable for Week 1 against the Browns.
Dupree popped up on the injury report as limited with a shoulder issue Thursday, suggesting he suffered the injury in practice. The fact he was not able to go on Friday raises red flags. Anthony Chickillo is next up on the depth chart.

Its a shoulder, not an ankle.

Give Conner snaps, he's been a team player since he got here.

He deserves to get on the field, no?

Dupree has a ways to go before we start calling him HollyWoodley 2.0

I wouldn't exactly call Eric Berry soft for rupturing his Achilles. Not to mention, I wonder if chemotherapy may have had long term effects on his connective tissue.

Never called Berry soft. Said he was lost for the season as in the Chiefs lost their inspriratiional leader and best player for the season after proving Pats to be beatable hence showing the AFC is there for the Steelers taking if...IF...their key players can stay on the field.

What frustrates me when it comes to injuries are the ones that appear out of nowhere.

Nothing can be said bout Pouncey when Decastro nose dived into his knee. Same for Bell with the hits he took to his knee

But these guys that show up to practice and end up out for weeks at a time really have me shaking my head.

Gee, man, do you have any more bizarro wisdom to drop on us today?

Alex Smith = Landry Jones
Chickillo > Bud Dupree

Conner's injury history makes Bud Dupree look like Lou Gehrig.

Who is he, Rudy Ruettiger? He deserves to get on the field when he plays well enough to earn it. Bell is the better player, by far, and having him on the field increases our chances of winning football games. If Conner can etch out a role as a change of pace back, short yardage back, or closer, great, but he'll do it by proving he can help us win football games, not just because he's a team player.

At this point, I can't make a convincing argument for Conner to play over Watson, let alone Bell.

This honestly isn't even entertaining. Your trolling is poorly done and lacks any subtlety or charm. I don't think you've elicited anger or laughter from any of the board members. You have failed at your one task. Regroup, rethink your strategy, and come back later.

Exactly. Very disappointing troll to this point.

Really? I've only said one remotely trollish thing here. When I did, several members erupted into such franetic whining that I was banned for a week.

Ya this. Watson had a very nice camp. Nice ying to Bell's yang.

Both of you have said it well. His trolling is just boring.
