As Sunday's season opener against Cleveland draws closer, we are all left scratching our heads on when exactly we will see Le'Veon Bell on the field. We are all disappointed to hear the news of Bell's holdout continuing this far, but it seems clear his teammates seem to be the most disappointed.
Steelers teammates not happy with Le’Veon Bell no show, led by vet G Ramon Foster, their player rep:

“What do you do? here’s a guy who doesn’t give a damn, I guess so we’ll treatit as such. I just hate it came to this. “
#Steelers DE Cam Heyward, also a team captain, said this: "Either you get on the bus or not." And if Le'Veon Bell doesn't appear to want on that bus just yet? "That's his loss. We're trying to get wins."

Steelers All-Pro G David DeCastro on Bell absence: “I think we’re all disappointed. What’s the expression? We’re stuck with our foot in our mouth. We all thought he’dbe here.”

Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey on Bell: “we just finally accept things at some point and you’re like, all right, if you don’t want to be here, t is what it is, hold out for 10 weeks”

It's safe to say the O-Line is not pleased with Bell in the slightest, it's a big slap in the face for the guys who generate so much success for one player. It's tough to watch, and tough to read each speculative report on the subject, but come Sunday look for James Conner to shine.
Maurkice Pouncey also issued this reminder: "A star is born every year in the NFL. Did anyone know Kareem Hunt would be an All-Pro before last season? If James Conner didn't have cancer, he'd have been a first round pick. Just watch him." #Steelers
