Former disgruntled Steelers WR George Pickens is back at it again — taking subtle jabs at his time in the Steel City.
On Day 1 of Cowboys training camp, Pickens spoke to reporters during media availability — seemingly taking little shots at his former team along the way, including calling it a “breath of fresh air” to be in Dallas over Pittsburgh.
When Pickens was asked if he’s excited to become more than just a 50/50, jump-ball type receiver in Dallas, Pittsburgh’s former wideout took the opportunity to blast the Steelers’ offensive play-calling:
“Yeah, I’m definitely excited to run better plays, for sure,” Pickens told reporters, via Joseph Hoyt.
This wasn’t the first shot Pickens has taken at his former team since leaving Pittsburgh — as he previously took to social media to call the Steelers the “cheapest organization” days after being traded to the Cowboys.
The criticisms surrounding Pittsburgh’s offensive predictability and poor play-calling are nothing new — but there’s hope that Arthur Smith can turn things around in his second year as the Steelers’ offensive coordinator.
