George Pickens [hide] becoming a problem after just five games? Pickens was essentially benched vs the Cowboys, playing a career low 34 of a possible 54 snaps. He was clearly related to the Steelers 4th passing option in the loss vs Dallas as Van Jefferson played 47 snaps and Calvin Austin was used as the #2 receiver with 44 snaps. Most telling of the Steelers frustration towards Pickens is rumblings are rampant of how the team feels Pickens is taking plays off and he only ran 12 routes vs the Cowboys. [/hide]
