Should Ebron be benched?

Efficiency is key, we can’t have this dude killing our drives.

I think I’d bring Vance in and sit Ebron.

 

Yes. He not only drops it a lot more than Vance he's also less of a threat to run after the catch, which is somewhat paradoxical given he's way more athletic than Vance.

 

Then you have to bench anyone else that drops the ball.

 

One drop is OK. Let's say you get benched after you drop your 3rd or 4th pass in a game. Sound fair?

 

Espn said steelers lead in drops next team like 10 or 15 back.
Ebron been dropping them all season long.
Would love a break down of all the drops by receiver

 

Yes and no start rotating other tight end in more same with Diontae

 

They have less faith in Vance than Ebron, if that tells you something.

 

Vance isn't exactly sure handed either.

 

I think the problem with Ebron is he has been acclimated to playing in a dome all his NFL career and he can't handle the colder weather very well. Just my observation. That and he can't block. Sure, bench him, why not?

 

DJ's drops are killing us too. I'd sit him to send a message.

 

Sit him, Sit everybody!

 

Hey you know The Chin wouldn't put up with it....

 

7 for 68 usually doesn’t get you benched. Yes, he should have had more.

 

I would like to see DJ Watt, Conner, JuJu, Washington, and Johnson as my 5 skill position players. I couldn't decide between Johnson and Claypool, but I believe Claypool has hit a little bit of the rookie wall. Get the receivers lined up wider to spread the defense out a little more.

 

He should have been pulled for a series or 2 to send a message, not perma-benched though

 

I wouldn't have a problem sitting him for a quarter next game except we don't have anyone after McDonald that's worth a dam.

 

Wait, I thought McDonald was the punt returner.......

 

Get rid of him, he is turning into a cancer on this team. Between his big mouth and FB and Tweets. He has to go.

 

That's a bit much, but Ebron needs to be playing less until he starts catching the ball. At least McDonald can block. Ebron can't do that, either.

 

They threw the ball to 65


Problem isn’t with folks with lots of catches.

Tomlin said 4th down play was to McFarland, whose route running made it difficult to catch.

Figure out how to get guys in space. Every other team does it. Why not the Steelers? #FireFichtnerNow

 

aren't they his players?

 

I don't think Tomlin puts up with it much longer, he said so in his press conference today.

“Catch The Ball Or Get Replaced”

 

Ebron has dropped passes his entire career, he is what he is. Sitting him is not going to make him any better when he gets back.

 

DJ might benefit from it.

Yes, Ebron is what he is. TBH I'd rather just have Vance out there. Tolerating Ebrons drops is like death from 1000 cuts. It will eventually kill our season.

 

I don't get the hate for Ebron. Yeah, he has a few drops here and there. But he has been a huge upgrade at the TE position. He's way better than Vance. I was more mad about his horrible block on 4th and inches. He ran right by Chase Young who he was suppose to block.

DJ has dropped the ball just as much and nobody says anything about him.
