Bruce Arians Wants to See Less Antonio Brown Moving Forward

Antonio Brown played a lot more than people thought he would after finally suiting up after being suspended for the first eight weeks of the season. The Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown debuted with 39 snaps.  Apparently that was way too many for Bruce Arians.

“His pitch count was a little higher than we anticipated,” Arians during a Tuesday appearance on Buccaneers.com, via JoeBucsFan.com. “But we tried to go two-minute early in the ballgame just to get some life, so his pitch count was up a little bit. But he handled it really, really well. . . . He did everything he needed to do to play well in that ballgame. The guys embraced him. They all helped him. And nobody works any harder than him on the practice field, so that was easy.”

Asked whether he wants or expects to see Brown play more Sunday, Arians said he wants the opposite.

“I’m hoping we’re not throwing the ball that much this next week, so hopefully his pitch count goes down,” Arians said.

Chris Godwin led Bucs receivers in playing time against the Saints by taking 94 percent of the snaps. Arians and Tom Brady don’t seem to be on the same page.

Arians needs to learn how to say less.  Bill  Belichick was the master of not telling anyone anything.

Let the game dictate how much he’ll play.
