    I thought yesterday when Austin went down he was replaced by Miller.

    This would put Wilson as WR #5, with all the time I see Ben Skowronek on the field

    Someone should ask him in a presser, how come Scott Miller plays more than Roman Wilson?

    Because right now he gives the team the best chance to win

    That’s why any player plays

    I'm not giving up on Roman yet. I think his absence is due to CAIII being seen as the #2, and the abundance of 12 and 13 personnel sets in Smith's scheme.

    According to the current depth chart, RW backs up CA3. Scotty backs up DK.

    So if CA3 comes up short :lollmao:

    Does Roman get the start

    With Wilson.1 from last year gone does Wilson.3 move up to Wilson.2

    Things like this keep me up at night

    Drove his defender 10 yds off the ball and was wide open:

    Until AR targets players his other WR’s we are basically counting on DK and Warren. Are fans cool with that?

    Just double Dk and focus on the short stuff and you will limit the Steelers passing offense.

    Are the other players getting open?

    This was what we kinda knew was happening when we traded Pickens away. Austin does a decent enough job as a low end #2 WR, but he is quite literally our only other capable WR. Roman Wilson must have 0 clue what he is doing on the field because he can't even get on the field. We are going to target the TE's and the RB's quite a lot in the passing game (which, isn't necessarily the worst thing because Warren is a really good weapon and Smith/Muth/Washington is a really good TE room), but not having another true WR is really going to hurt us. If we lose DK to injury at any point of the season it will be increasingly difficult to win games. He's getting open despite being the true #1 and the only real WR threat (which means, he's a good player), but we don't have anyone else that can create for themselves. This team would be doing itself a huge disservice to not try to trade for another WR.

    Are we being unfair to Roman Wilson? This is basically his first season, he’s played 6 games. If you look at it that way, is his usage for a 3rd rd pick buried on the depth chart that unusual up to this point?

    Not sure what they are going to be able to find via a trade and Wilsons playing time is beginning to tick upward, wonder if they will just continue on with what we have.

    Agreed

    It will be interesting to see how many snaps he gets vs the shrimp bait tomorrow night

    I think that will tell a lot

    For me the other question that has to be answered is what role the WR2 plays in Smith's offense this year. He and Rodgers are making regular use of all three TEs in the passing game, and I don't think that's solely because Austin/Wilson can't get open.

    It’s most definitely by design

    And it seems to be starting to work

    I would say people are being unfair. All you need to do is go back and review All 22 and you will see many times RW is open yet AR has not gone his way with the ball.

    Thanks

    I was hoping someone could respond appropriately in this regard

    His snap count was second for a receiver and pretty much in Mr Rodgers neighborhood with the 3 receivers

    He would not be out there if he was not getting open

    With Smith’s offense if he is on the field with DK and the TEs he is pretty much the 4 or 5 receivers
