It seems that Steelers players and their patience with running back Le’Veon Bell is over, as after he failed to report on Wednesday to practice as the team gets set to play the Browns Sunday, a number of players on the team railed him for his decision not to be with the team.
More Ramon Foster on Bell: “He’s making 7 times what I make twice as much as Al (Villanueva) is making and we’re the guys who do it for him.”

Foster might have been the most outspoken when it comes to players that went after Bell, but then again he’s right in the fact that they have done a lot for Bell in the last few years, and they feel betrayed that one of their biggest playmakers on offense didn’t show up.
Ben Roethlisberger said today his offensive line is more important than @LeVeonBell. Then he added they're more important than "any skill player, including myself."

One veteran Steeler told me players waited a day to criticize Bell to give him a chance to come in Wednesday but "he f—ed us."

For now, it’s James Conner who will be the starter Sunday in Cleveland, and it does not appear it’s going to change anytime soon.

I’m a Steelers fan from long time ago, somebody out their will remember these names Ernie Stautner, Gene Lipscomb, Dick Haley, Brady Keys, Tom Tracy, Bobby Layne, John Henry Johnson, Glen Glass, Buddy Dial, why mention them? because these were real Steeler football players,not like this LeVeon money hungry Bell, i believe he couldn’t play for Mr. Rooney, he would have been an embarrassment with that s—-y attitude of his, He does not represent what a PGH Steeler player is, and i hope he is jettison out of here, warp factor speed, they haven’t won the big game with him, so it’s been nothing but entertainment, get players who are committed and cares, i served during viet nam, i wouldn’t want him covering my back, he’s SELFISH.

Youre exactly right Larry . This guy is not a Steeler and never has been . Anybody can put on a uniform . Hes a disgrace to those before him and after him .
