    The first one. btw, not disagreeing with what you say.

    But the AFCN has two examples of defensive HCs that struggled to get anywhere in the postseason recently. The Steelers have decided to go the offensive route while Minter in Baltimore could build a shutdown defense while having an MVP QB. Will this finally get them to a championship? Can an offensive Steelers get past week 1? Gonna be fun to see how this plays out.

    Personally, I want Washington to get 5+ targets a game. I think he is far more than just a goal line guy.

    If he sees 5+ targets a game then something went very wrong with out WR room.

    I imagine they will be picking one in the draft, good choices there.

    DK
    Pittman
    draft pick

    Should be a good room and then add Muth plus Dowdle/Warren. There is no way Washington is seeing 5+ targets.

    You don’t think Washington is the second coming of Gronk :shrug:

    Lots of good choices but the mock drafts seem to have a lot of receivers taken before our first pick

    If that is the case it would not be wise to take a receiver in the first so now we are talking pretty far down the list

    More Vance McDonald but better blocking chops slightly less receiving chops.

    He’s already exceeding those standards

    No he hasnt. Vance had 610 yards in his best season. Washington for his career has 650 yards.

    He had 364 yards last season on 43 targets, a breakout year for him but hes not likely to see that many targets again.

    I would say that if he doesn't get 5+ targets a game, then our OC is clueless.

    Mixing apple and kumquats

    Washington only has 3 seasons so to be fair I compared to Vance’s first 3 seasons

    And Washington is better

    He's basically Marcedes Lewis again. He's a bit bigger than Lewis (and maybe not quite the receiving threat), but I think his ceiling is a TE2 that gets a good amount of run in the red zone and sprinked in during the game. Washington is a good player and definitely someone we should want to keep around.

    You don't have to be the 2nd coming of Gronk to be effective. It was about 4 targets a game last year, and does everyone remember how when he got hurt we couldn't move the ball the same.

    No #2 receiver last year. All teams had to do was take DK out of the game.

    And also, MM doesnt run the offense through the TE’s.

    Like I said, you are going to have DK, Pittman, presumably a rookie WR, Warrren and Dowdel and then Muth.

    As a receiving threat, Washington is behind all those guys except maybe the rookie WR, until he gets up to speed anyway. I just don’t see how his targets are as high as last season.

    I hope You are wrong. He is a weapon, and He has shown it when given a chance, and I believe Rodgers likes throwing to him.

    Vance is a better receiving TE and it’s really not debatable but enjoy your apples and kumquats.

    Reminds me of the Steelers playing Brady. We all knew what the play was going to be.......just could not stop it.
