Tyler Boyd helping by giving them some good 'bulletin board' material.

Quote:Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has taken a lot of heat this week for a lack of effort in the team's most recent game. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd isn't feeling sorry for him.


Speaking to the media today, Boyd said that the issues with Pickens demonstrates a "lack of camaraderie" among the Steelers. As for Pickens personally, he wasn't impressed by what appeared to be a lack of trying to chase down an opposing ball carrier on an interception.

"It just shows the lack of camaraderie that's over there. I can't really talk for anybody, you know, but like when things ain't going well you still gotta perform at a high level and do what you can to help your team. I done seen a clip with him... it kind of looked like he wasn't trying to chase (the interception) down. See, I don't go about that. That's something that they gotta deal with. When things ain't going good, that's when your true colors show. I like to be the same player week in, week out whether it's going good or bad for me," Boyd said.

George Pickens certainly isn't going to like that. It's one thing to be called out by fans, but another to be called out by opposing players.

Pickens is going to have to prove his doubters wrong on the field.

He'll get his chance on Saturday when the Steelers and Bengals do battle again.
