George Pickens lit flames to the Steelers-Browns matchup on Sunday when he said that he did not know who Greg Newsome was after being asked a question about him.

“I don’t even know who that is,” Pickens said on Friday about Newsome.

That came on the heels of Pickens’ comments being flamed in the Browns locker room on Thursday when cornerback Martin Emerson said he ‘didn’t respect it’ and safety Grant Delpit hopes to make Pickens ‘be bad’ and hurt his team.

However, after Pickens’ latest comments, Newsome had more than a few words for Pickens. Indirectly, Newsome painted Pickens as a selfish player who hurts his own team

“I’m all about the team,” Newsome said. “Obviously he’s a guy that cares more so about himself, and you can see that in the penalties he causes. For me, my job is to try and do whatever I can to help the team win. There’s never going to be no one-on-one battle for me. My battle is to try and help my team get the win. He does that type of stuff all the time. There will never be a man that could fuel me in any type of way.”

Newsome went on to say that he did not care about Pickens at all, and that all of his worries were on helping his team win while Pickens can wallow in the one-on-one chances.

“There’ll never be a man that ever can fuel me in any type of way. The only way you would take something that somebody says disrespectful is if you actually care about that person. So I don’t care what he has to say or anybody has to say. So I don’t take it as disrespectful because I don’t care about the dude at all,” Newsome said.

Pickens is questionable to play with a hamstring injury. If he does play, this matchup will be primetime to watch, and Pickens seems to be gearing up for a physical matchup against Newsome and the Browns cornerbacks.
