Steelers Insider Gerry Dulac: Why Team Absolutely DOES NOT Miss George Pickens | The Rich Eisen Show

How do the Steelers view George Pickkins balling out the way that he is? And and you know, I have a follow-up question for you on this front. How do they view that? Well, one, probably not surprising, but because they know he’s an ultra talented player, right? Um, he has a quarterback. He’s playing with a quarterback who, uh, you know, still can spin it and be very productive with Dak Prescott. So, none of that is a surprise, nor should it be a surprise, but that isn’t the reason why they they got rid of him. So, why why is it why why is it? Let’s get down to some brass tax because, you know, it was disruptive. It was disruptive in the locker room, Rich. Um, you know, uh, late for meetings, late for games. Uh, I was told that the teammates, his teammates were fed up with it. um you know is it’s only going to be a matter of time probably before the same happens in Dallas if it hasn’t already but that’s the biggest reason they did it. Now would have it looked wonderful to have that tandem with DK Metaf? Absolutely. But it’s part of the reason why they brought in DK Medaf because they knew they were going to move on from George Pickkins. Well, I mean it’s he’s late for games meaning what? like he needed to be there before an hour before routinely whatever time whatever time Rich he was supposed to show up and I don’t know what that is right he was always uh late and I will give you a quick example do you remember the incident last year where um you know the television reporter reported that he was going to play uh would be on limited snaps they got the information from Mike Tomlin and the reason why that misinformation was was transmitted to to I believe Tracy Wolf Wolfson if I’m not mistaken is because that’s what Mike Tomblin knew without talking to George Pickkins because he didn’t show up on time. He wasn’t there. And when he reported to the stadium late, they had to take him by by ambulance with a police escort to the hospital to have an a quick MRI or X-ray. And when he came back, they said he can’t play. So, that was an example right there of him showing up late and then it becoming a little bit of embarrassing for uh Mike Tomman, you know, giving some misinformation to the uh to the TV reporter 90 minutes before the game. So, it looks like none of that’s happening in Dallas or there I mean he did he did Were they like nodding their heads seeing him standing next to CD Lamb before the game and then getting flagged hugging the goalpost. Jerry, I didn’t hear why he sat down the opening series, right? But I’m sure it was probably for some no no, which I’m sure knowing George is probably occurring in Dallas. Hey, you made it all the way to the end. Thanks for that. Check us out every single day streaming live on Disney Plus and the ESPN app 12 to 3 Eastern.

  2. As a Steelers fan I really hate Pickens. If he wasn’t such a Dbag he would be on the team and exactly what the offense desperately needs

  11. He’s awesome … but he was crazy & was getting more and more insane. Wish him well he’s a great talent… but we ALL know Tomlin tries to hide disruptions and troubled players… see Antonio Brown…

  12. Keon Coleman is doing the same thing in Buffalo. I just don't understand these WR's. Chase with the spitting. These guys are way overpaid compared to other tougher positions like RB and they don't appreciate the blessing they've been gifted with.

  13. See how happy he is when Jerry Jones doesn't wanna give him his bag. Promise that this grace period ain't gonna last, Dallas gonna find out why you should never trade for a diva Steelers WR no matter how talented they may seem.

  14. George Pickens next generation Antonio Brown. You cry you whine you cause drama, the organization sends you packing. What do you think caused Ben to calm his bubble butt down? The threat of being traded for the actions of his youthful wildness.
