www.steelersauthorizedshops.com , it is comforting to know that the endless string of interviews involving past and present members of the Pittsburgh Steelers emanating from radio row in Atlanta will soon be coming to an end. However, that still left time for one more current player to speak on Friday, with Cameron Heyward the latest name to add to his voice to all those we have already heard from this week.Appearing on The Cook and Joe show on 93.7 The Fan, GMFB on the NFL Network and an interview with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk among others, Heyward was faced the same line of questioning about Antonio Brown that has highlighted the past few days. Providing perhaps the most balanced response to questions about AB, Heyward did his best to explain what had gone on in Pittsburgh this season. As per his interview on The Cook and Joe show,Acknowledging that there were a lot of angry players in the locker room after the game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 Pittsburgh Steelers Womens T-Shirt , Heyward suggested his teammates would be able to move past that. Despite the way the year ended, Heyward believes Brown can still fix the damage done by addressing a few key issues.While Heyward has tried to reach out to Brown, he has heard nothing in return and seemed to take exception to AB not responding to calls from Art Rooney II.Heyward would go on to talk about his role as a leader on the team and his expectation from Mike Tomlin next season, giving arguably the most reasoned commentary on the Steelers 2018 season we have heard all week and the full interview is well worth a listen.During his interview with PFT, Heyward would effectively repeat many of the same remarks. Unable to answer exactly how the situation with AB had developed the way it had over the year, Heyward admitted the everyone on the team had probably allowed AB to get away with too much when talking to Florio. Noting the high expectations associated with being a part of the Steelers organization, Heyward was keen for the team to make a better effort at meeting that standard in 2019 when appearing on GMFB.It is perhaps fitting that Heyward was one of the final Pittsburgh guest along radio row this week in light of the honesty commentary he provided. His leadership will be key to the Steelers next season if they are to right the ship and it can only be hoped that Brown will have taken some of his words to heart. The Pittsburgh Steelers decision to allow the contract of linebackers coach Joey Porter to expire this offseason was not a great surprise when it was announced last week Pittsburgh Steelers Hats , but the words that followed from a local beat reporter as a reason for his effective dismissal were. According to Mike Prisuta, a writer for the team’s own website among other publications and a WDVE radio host, the motivation behind letting Porter go may have been less about his coaching talents and more about the way he negatively impacted the locker room.For a man who was known as the emotional leader of the defense for most of his eight years as a player in Pittsburgh, someone who had close relationships with an number of his offense teammates, the notion that Porter presence was damaging to team harmony was strange to hear. However, if the players that worked with him every day are to be believed, the tale that Prisuta was told is actually far from the truth. With Porter already out of the door and nothing to be gained by sticking up for a coach who has already lost the support of management Pittsburgh Steelers Womens Hoodie , it is hard to believe that so many of his linebackers would speak out in his defense if they were not telling the truth. If nothing else, their actions speak to the loyalty Porter inspired in his players. Regardless of the reasons for his dismissal, perhaps the bigger questions we should be asking about the complaints Prisuta aired on social media are - why were two offensive players anonymously bad mouthing a coach who just been fired?, and why was a reporter from the team’s own website the only one to hear these rumors? Like many of the leaked reports that have emerged out of Pittsburgh from unnamed source as of late, there appears to be some debate about the integrity of the initial information. But sadly, that seems to be par for the course when it comes to the Steelers these days. Custom Houston Texans Jerseys
