Steelers sign Robert Woods

maybe, maybe not, but he will be on the game day count so there is a good chance he may. the kid has some talent.

 

$2M for getting another vet to help keep the youngsters in check. I don't hate it but also not expecting much on the field from him.

 

Not sure he'll be here when the season starts. He's not a top 4 WR when everyone is healthy and he doesn't play ST. We could carry 6 WRs though and go light somewhere else.

 

Maybe. I'm thinking it looks like we may go with s heavy RB rotation this year. We currently have 6 in that room counting the UDFA and Heyward's use at FB.


Also may mean we will see a more diverse offense this season with different personnel groupings depending on the game plan vs the opponent.

 

what woods could do is help in the middle of the field. he and austin and skowronek can work that underneath while they double one of our outside guys and have to give the other some attention as well. these guys could be beneficial at this possession type of game. i do believe they will let mason use the middle of the field more that we did in the past. we have the players for it now.

 

Is this a Rodgers pick?

 

The steelers hate to use the middle of the field....

 

No, but he caught a few passes and he is an excellent blocker. We could see him get some run on offense.

 

No real fullback again. ugh.

 

I'd be a bit surprised if he missed the cut. We'd carry 6 WR if we want Skowronek to stay around for ST duties. Outside of Metcalf, Pickens, and Austin... we have question marks. I know we liked Wilson enough to draft him in the third round, but we haven't seen him play yet. Skowronek probably sticks around for ST purposes, so that leaves another spot. If someone else impresses in camp we can always cut Woods, but if nothing else he's a reliable depth option if none of the young WR's make the cut.

I'd expect Pickens/Metcalf/Austin/Wilson/Woods/Skowronek at this time. Camp changes things of course, but it is nice insurance against an injury or Wilson not living up to expectations.

 

We still have Heyward and we signed one UDFA FB.

 

I do not want Woods taking snaps from Wilson. He needs all he can get. If he's behind George, Metcalf, CAIII, and Woods, he'll be lucky to get 20 catches this year. Woods has no future with this team. The idea that they would sacrifice his development to get Robert Woods level production pisses me off.
