organization would do something about the behavior of Vontaze Burfict Youth Ramon Foster Jersey , the comments of team owner Mike Brown over the weekend quickly ended that fantasy. Rather than acknowledge the despicable actions of his linebacker for what they are, the out-of-touch owner once again defended his player in the face of overwhelmingly damning evidence to the contrary.As reported by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk per a league source:Calling the fine “unfair and excessive”, Brown apparently accused the NFL of incorrectly punishing his player for actions that did not draw a flag in the game, even though this is a common occurrence when it comes to the issuing of fines. Considering Brown is the man who defended the drafting of Joe Mixon after he had punched a young woman in the head that was captured on video, supported Chris Henry through multiple off-field incidents that led to his suspension and was happy to see problem cornerback Adam Pacman Jones made a team captain despite several troubling acts, it's obvious he's prepared to overlook all kinds of questionable behavior that the rest of normal society outside of Cincinnati deems unacceptable. Bengals’ fans have actually started a Gofundme page to help play Burfict’s fine and more than 24 hours after the collection had been started Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , a whole $5 had been raised.Brown’s complaints weren't limited to his own team and it turns out the Bengals' owner also has a problem with player safety. Presumably in defense of Burfict’s headhunting style of play, it seems Brown would like to see more players get injured.At the time of this writing, neitherBurfict nor Marvin Lewis have spoken publicly about the $112,000 fine the linebacker received on Saturday, but it should be expected the player in question won't be taking responsibility for his actions anytime soon. His coach will downplay any criticism by characterizing Burfict as the true victim -- someone who unfairly faces extra scrutiny from the NFL just because he's been involved in a mere 11 previous incidents for violent play. The enabling will continue and, next time Womens JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , someone will probably get seriously hurt.Steelers Film Room: Ryan Switzer’s return ability was on display in Week 1 Ryan Switzer had to call a moving company for the second time in less than four months due to being traded twice during the offseason. The former North Carolina Tarheel was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in 2017 and then traded to the Oakland Raiders this past April. Switzer didn’t last long on the Raiders’ roster as he was traded on August 27 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The trade was a 2019 fifth-rounder from Pittsburgh in exchange for Switzer and a 2019 sixth-rounder. In a perfect scenario, the Steelers would pick No. 32 and the Raiders No. 1 in the sixth round. The Steelers have used a smattering of players on both kick and punt returns the past few years, with limited success. The knee-jerk reaction after one game — the solution is Switzer.Steelers fans have been clamoring for the team to relieve wideout Antonio Brown from his punt-return duties. Brown, a once talented punt returner, has seen his productivity decline. (I opined about this two years ago.) During this past preseason, Pittsburgh tried out two camp bodies along with cornerback Cameron Sutton in hopes one of them would take the job and flourish. Sutton’s shot at punt-return duties ended against the Tennessee Titans when he fumbled a return. None of the camp bodies shined. The Steelers’ 2017 primary punt returner Youth Marcus Gilbert Jersey , Eli Rogers (PUP list) is still recovering from a torn ACL and is unavailable — forcing the Steelers to look elsewhere. Over the past two seasons, the Black-and-gold used seven different kick returners — only JuJu Smith-Schuster remains on the roster. While JuJu was effective in 2017 (26.7 YPR), the Steelers seem to prefer keeping him strictly on offense and handing the kick-return duties to another player. Steelers fans hope that this never-ending carousel ends with Switzer.Video evidence shows that Switzer just might be the remedy the Steelers have been searching for. Switzer’s first punt return had Steelers fans on their feet cheering with a 22-yard effort. The third punt he returned was only for four yards but, due to his eagerness and not letting the ball bounce — this ensured the Steelers better field position. This punt shows Switzer flipping field position with the Browns. Britton Colquitt boots a punt 45 yards but Switzer returns it for 20 to the Cleveland 39.Was it the rush against Colquitt or the presence of Switzer that led to a brutal 29-yard shank deep into overtime?Two of his kickoff returns show his elusiveness but also his field vision where others failed.Switzer’s 4.51 speed won’t exactly blow the doors off of opponents. But pairing that with his vision and sure-handedness — the Steelers have the makings of the returner they’ve been searching for. So far in this young season, Switzer is seventh in punt return average (11.2 yards) and tenth in kickoffs average (23 yards). Will Switzer be able to maintain or build on those numbers? Steelers Nation remains cautiously optimistic. Custom Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys
