Tempers Flare at Steelers Camp

[stlrtruck]

Ah nothing like the sounds of a few pads poppin' and a few heads shaking in the mid-summer heat!

Tomlin made the players fully aware of what was going to happen at camp. It looks like the new sheriff has some different laws!!

This is a great thread, Smith, attitude, kick butt, etc. Smith has great potential. Bottom line is it says Reid was nailed with an attitude several times. Not even going full speed In this particular instance. I think Reid has great potential. How will you feel if Smith knocks his block off & he's gone for another season? Everyone wants to prove their worth, but anything can happen at any intensity, so why push the envelope? We're PRACTICING ourselves, not the Bengals. If Tomlin "lets things go" to usher in a new post Cowher tough guy era & someone is ruined, the Steelers & we as fans will suffer.

Maybe Reid should tone down the trash talking on the defense before Smith puts him down for good. Just a suggestion. Keep up the hard and good work Anthony.

Completely agree. However, I didn't see or hear the dynamics and have seen no quotes. Testosterone, 20's, do the math. Regardless, I think Tomlin should protect his players for the regular season. Wouldn't you agree?

As I stated before, I have absolutely no problem with the hard hitting. If you want to talk trash, expect to be hit.

Trying to take your own teammates head off at less than practice speed is a cheap shot. Period.

The DBs and WRs had dinner afterwards so I'm sure all is good in Steeler Land.........Just a little hard hitting going on thats it....Nothing wrong with the hitting going on...
