    I hope it doesn't turn into a Markus Wheaton situation. Those two never seemed to get on track. I really like what I've seen of Washington in college and early this season, I hope they figure it out sooner rather than later.

    Happy to be wrong, man. Win the next two and it is a whole new season. I would sure love to see Fort and Thomas getting more reps at LB, but the defense has looked better lately!

    Like I said before... October Ben > September Ben.

    The only good September game that the offense was firing on all cylinders in recent memory was in 2016 vs. Redskins.... opening MNF game. Steelers laid a whoopin' on the Skins... at FedEx Field.

    Of course and true to form, Eagles totally wiped out the Steelers 2 weeks later. :facepalm:

    They do look very different on defense and offense now. Ben is clicking with his receivers and connor is in beast mode.

    Are you nuts or just stupid? Ben is why we win games. How about getting some help for the defensive secondary, and we won't have to score 40 points a game.

    They are whining it was a pick play on the AB TD.

    I guess somebody dug up this old thread to give the OP a spanking.

    Yes me as well. I often wonder like other OPs on this board why he is not playing. Perhaps it is simply a case for not enough balls to go around but I wonder because of his height if they should be using him more. Perhaps he is not as good as we think and him and Ben are not in sync. I guess it's a good problem to have lol

    His height might be a detriment, he's 5'-11'' compared to M Bryant who's 6'-4''

    Oh wow.. So he is a midget compared to MB. I need to read the scouting on Washington and reasons for drafting him

    Washington looked like an absolute stud in college. He had the game commentators pi$$ing their pantsuit week after week. I think (hope) he'll be fine, it's way early yet.

    I don’t think the issue is height, keep in mind AB is only 5’10”. From what I have been seeing, it sounds like he needs to get better separation. I’m sure that is a big adjustment. I look for him to have a solid 2nd half. Once he gets his hands on the ball, he will have a ton of YAC yards. I don't care if Justin Hunter ever sees the field again.
