Did you miss Ben’s radio show this morning during Cook & Poni?


Recap from 93.7 The Fan:

First question was on Martavis Bryant –

“He doesn’t want to go anywhere. The person that broke this story first was the same person that broke the story that I wanted to be traded and I know there’s zero-percent truth to that, so I kind of take some of the stuff that he says with a grain of salt.”


On the since deleted tweets by Bryant’s girlfriend that seemed to support the idea that he wants out –

“I don’t know if it’s one of those things where at home you’ve got a bunch of people that are saying ‘Why aren’t you getting the ball? Why don’t you do this? Why don’t you do that?’ Almost just kind of gassing him up if you will. Like I said, Martavis is an asset to this football team. He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. Obviously his numbers probably aren’t what he was hoping and expecting, and probably aren’t for all of us to a certain extent, but you also understand he’s been gone for a whole year, it’s not like he missed six games, four games, eight games, it was a whole year, and that’s tough.”


On that great catch by Antonio Brown against the Chiefs –

“We got him matched up on what we’d call their third corner and AB ran a quick little wheel route and the safety was still cheating over the top, I kind of got caught between, ‘Ok, do I throw it over the top?’ If I do, the safety might be able to get there and he might catch it, he might get a hit, a lot of things could happen, so look for a back shoulder type throw. The problem with the back shoulder is that AB had the guy beat, so the back shoulder is not the best option but I did it anyway, it came out a little lower than I wanted it to, and I guess the good Lord wanted it to go our way this time.”


On James Harrison –

“In the locker room, I always speak to the team after coach does and I kind of said something, I said, ‘Hey Debo, it’s about time they got you off the shelf.’ I’m sure Steelers fans loved it, we loved it.”
