You know why he’s working this year harder than ever?

Let me sum it up for you: “Last year of his contract”

You ever wonder why we talked to so many receivers in the draft this year? PB the jackass will have some huge demands cause he works hard one season, he could be a LOT more dominating if he had half the work ethic Hines Ward did.

He’s only working hard cause he’s gonna get the boot at the end of the year, and we can take a 1st round receiver…

> hahahaa…u dont have any clue what u r talking about. he has no work ethic…he trained harder this year than he ever has in the offseason. u just heard he didnt go to mini-camp so u think u know everything about him and can make that statement…wrong. hes in the best shape hes ever been in. plus if u noticed (which u havent because u dont know shit about football) Plax is turning into a great blocker for duce and the other RBs. and next time u watch a game, pay attention to who comes over to help up one of our RBs after a carry…alot of the time its Plax. and hes coming from the outer part of the field all the way over to do that…yeah, hes lazy. hes made more spectacular catches this season so far than alot of WRs have made in their career. u r one of those dudes who plays Madden 99 for Genesis and now thinks he knows everything about football. :greddy:

where do you get this bullshit? it seems like you make things up as you go. i can assure you plax witl get a new contract and would have got it reguardless of his productivity. i mean the extra work will help his cause but what is really going to help him is that the steelers are more than likely not going to sign kendrell bell.

another point is why would the steelers let go of a productive reciever that has been soley a student of their offense for a 1st round college WR?

Plax will demand the big cash, he’ll go where the money is and he’s not good enough to slap the franchise restriction on.

i agree he is not a franchise player. i just dont see him demanding a overly huge amount of money. i think plax is more of a team player than most people give him credit for and i think he has worked harder to become a better player because he is maturing.

Roethlisberger is one of the big stories on Inside the NFL this week. He’s doing his first big interview with Dan Marino. From what iIve read in the PG, Marino compares Ben to himself and praises the fact that Ben can potentially beat two Marino records this season (Comp. % and Rating). Thought you guys might care.

cant ask for anything more out of a rookie QB. some of his sucess is because of the rest of the team, but at the same time…for a rookie QB, he did better than anyone could ever expect.
