    Why hasn't Pickett went to Pickens more often,Pickens is a playmaker. And should be getting at least 8- 10 looks a.game IMO..Seems like ever since 18 came back Pickens goes to him no matter what. Almost like Pickett is pre determined to throw to #18

    Well He went to him on a big play, and missed the throw badly, and He went to Him on a huge Td with a great throw, and Pickens decided not to get 2 feet in. If You watched....You would have seen that the Tennessee was doing many things to try, and Keep Him out of the game.

    I'm not gonna rag on him stepping out in the EZ.. he probably thought there was more turf than there was.. **** happens. It's not the first time it has happened and it won't be the last.. I saw a few times last night #14 was open. And Picket didn't even look his way

    Picket to Pickens is our best offensive weapon so the defense started by taking that away

    You don’t want Kenneth throwing into double coverage just because we like the little rhyme

    If they double team one then someone else is in single coverage so exploit that

    That was a huge mistake by Pickens, so no, he shouldn't get a pass. He had plenty of room to get his feet in. There is no excuse on that play.

    Pickett's choices last night were fine. It was his accuracy that was seriously wanting.

    Can’t absolve Pickens on not getting his feet in. If a receiver is anywhere close to the boundary, he has to treat the situation like he’s right up against the line. Better to work it hard and get 2 feet in by a wide margin than only 1 foot in because his footwork was lazy.

    When I would run into fellow fans after we acquired those two that phrase "Pickett to Pickens" is what always was said as we walked past each other. My area get a good number of vacationers from the Burgh.

    My all time favorite. I was only two years in to my life where I settled. Not Steeler country. We have many campgrounds for the tourists. I had to pull over and admire this big ass RV painted black and gold of course, and written really big was, "City of Champions". And huge Pirate and Steeler logo's. The year was 1980. I often wonder if he painted over it as the year went by?

    Pickett screwed up an easy throw early on Pickens, easy lay up throw, but over threw him, and Pickens had a big play in front of him.

    The throw to the end zone by Pickett to Pickens was a good throw, Pickens for some reason didn't toe drag even though he had the whole state of Florida to do so.

    That's on Pickens.

    But looks like Pickens is on IG, complaining about not getting the ball. Here we go.......

    It’s his job to know

    Even he looked disgusted when he watched the replay

    Think Santonio Holmes

    Pickens having a mini tantrum on social media, he had a TD last night if he had kept his feet in. He definitely deserves more targets but I’m not sure how much impact this kind of thing has, probably a cry for attention as much as anything, seems very childish.

    They deploy Pickens differently when DJ is out but when DJ is on the filed they primarily send Pickens on go routes and curls. More stupid scheming.

    And on that TD, thats the second time Pickens has nonchalant it and cost them a score both times. He made that catch look easy but then didnt pay attention to getting his feet in. He needs to button it up.
