Have we discussed George Pickens and his excuse for not blocking?

Against the Colts Pickens stood there as one of their RBs got stuffed at the goal line. He later said,”I didn’t want to block in case I got injured like Tank Dell!”

Man, this corresponds to all the selfish entitlement among modern athletes. Don’t play in bowl games because you could get hurt, don’t block in the NFL because you could get hurt. We have allowed selfish entitled players to ruin the competitive aspects and gritty play of football.

George was known as a ferocious blocker in college and played in all bowl games even when gimpy and barely able to run.

I would just chalk this up to playing on a shite team with shite QBs that can't ever get him the ball.

George Pickens seems like the exact person to think and act like this.

Pickens definitely has some screws loose, but dude was hell of a blocker at UGA.
He prolly hates being on that shite team with shite QBs.

Come to the falcons George. We also have a shite team and shite QB, but it's warmer.

You don’t play in a bowl game if you are holding a winning lottery ticket and a multi million multi year contract and don’t want to throw it all away.

Completely understandable and I would try to sway my kid to do the same thing. Not doing so is moronic. Some hardcore LSU fans’ feelings don’t supersede a kids financial security for him and his family.

Watch Pickens and Dionte Johnson when it's not a pass play or play designed for them. The lack of effort is ridiculous.

I think Tomlin is a top 10 coach in the league but he's got a serious problem with these dudes and his shitty offense.

George Pickens is such a talent, but goddamn he's such a cancer.

Pickens has always been like this. It’s the reason why he wasn’t a top 20 pick. He has bottom 20 character.
