“I’ll leave if he’s not fired.” Due to their major miscommunication, a key player for the Pittsburgh Steelers has stated he will leave the team if his colleague is not dismissed.
Head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin, confirmed that wide receiver George Pickens is openly frustrated and that he complains “all the time” about his role. However, Tomlin considers it to be just a “pebble” in his shoe and doesn’t think it’s a huge deal.
Following three 100-yard games earlier in the season, Pickens has caught three passes for 21 yards over the last two games. Multiple local reports state that he pouted on the sidelines and in the locker room last Thursday night after quarterback Kenny Pickett gave him little attention.
“Oh my goodness!” Tomlin exclaimed to the press. “He constantly shows signs of frustration. He aspires to be important. He wants to contribute to our success. You guys don’t regret that.
