Roman Wilson.

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.

 

Bustola.

 

PAY THE MAN!!!!!

 

8 different players caught a pass in the game. How you shutting all that off?

 

This is not correct

See post above

 

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

 

Based on what

 

This is not correct he was on the field for 58% of the snaps about the same as the TEs
