Week 3 Gamethread

The Steelers' offense... I have no idea what the plan is. They drafted Freiermuth in the 2nd a couple years ago, he was a bright spot last year.... he has 5 targets this year and they are trying to use him to block. Their WRs are two guys who are good contested catch guys (Robinson/Pickens) but get zero separation.... what is their plan?
Pickens caught a seventy yard TD last week without a defender within five yards of him when he caught the ball. I'd give my left leg for a Pats receiver that can't get separation like him.
Allen Robinson is Juju level toast.
Allen Robinson is Juju level toast.
He has some of the lowest average separation in the league, We'll have to see what the numbers are after the week, but I would guess Bourne for example blows him away. If you are looking for speed or separation Pickens is not your guy. There is a reason even pre-draft his comp was Parker most places, they are very similar players. Which isn't bad, Parker is/was a good WR, he was better in his 20s but could never stay healthy.
Edit- here we go from 2022- https://www.rotoballer.com/nextgen-stats-2022-season-review-wide-receivers-and-tight-ends/1126063#2022_Best_and_Worst_Receivers_-_Next_Gen_Stats
He gets very little separation. Matt Harmon also did something, it's behind a paywall, but basiclally it was that his best separation are on long developing vert routes, but anything else he gets nothing.
Everytime I see a QB get hurt by being in a mass of bodies I appreciate Brady even more. The guy took a ton of vicious hits, but he knew how to avoid those kind of catastrophic situations.
He looked like the Road Runner after ending up on the wrong end of a very large, very heavy Acme implement of some sort.
Jimmy waited for the open receiver to finish his crossing route left to right before...throwing into a double team to his left well short of the sticks. Uhh...
What was McDaniels’ plan going to the Raiders? The defense still sucks and he has just a few good offensive players.
just like he done with denver his dink and dunk only works with a all time qb or a team that cant score over 20 pts
I think he thought he could bring in a DC to fix the D and he could have a solid offense. Seems to me their biggest issue is the O-line, the weapons are fine, the line is not.
i feel bad for him as well he has got a raw deal was overdafted by 10-15 picks started out as a holding all the time guy now is a solid starter say NE u want bolles for your 2nd in 24 3rd in 25
shoulid had kept him in NE he was the reason my team lost in week 1
The one where the defensive back hit Jimmy's shoulder and Jimmy folded like a cheap suit. If that's roughing, we should just ban rushing the QB altogether.
