yeah yeah I remember now, wasnt he the one that made a catch then got up and spiked the ball before he was touched and the other team recovered ??

and and, wasnt he the guy that sat out of mini camps and coaching sessions..

and oh yeah, something about the fans not appreciating him or something !!

That Spike Was During I think The Jacksonville Game Of 2001.

i'm not shocked that most of you don't miss plexico, alot of steelers fans don't. i remember the bonehead plays he made, for that matter so has randel el. it happens. i never seem to remember plax being a problem in the locker room, when was he always whinning when he was a part of the franchise? any comments he made were after the fact, after he knew he wouldn't be back. he missed one mini camp, it wasn't a big deal but at the time you would have thought he committed a felony.

the steelers miss him more than we can imagine. he was a deep threat, he drew double coverage, he freed up ward and randel el underneath. you guys talk about never living up to his potential, its kinda hard when you run the ball over 50% of the time and you have someone like ward on the team, there are only so many balls available.

i hate the arguement that ward smiles, its complete bullshit. it means nothing at all.

put it this way any reciever that lines up opposite ward is going to be compared the same way. not everyone plays the game the same way.

to get a stud reciever and make him happy the steelers need to run a more balanced offense that takes advantage of his ablility, just not a decoy.
