Steelers vs Ravens: worse WR corps?

Post by TimmayLake » Fri Dec 20, 2024 6:53 pm

We will be without Pickens again. Ravens won't have Agholor or Bateman. Ravens obviously had an advantage at TE but who has the advantage at WR in this game?

Ravens have advantage because of 1) Flowers and 2) their TEs and RBs are better than ours.

Not liking how this matchup is for us.

We need a Russell Wilson vintage game tomorrow.

This. Florwers one of the best WRs in the league at getting separation. Austin isn't bad if left to run a full route tree, but the way the Steelers call pass pattern combos, it's not as difficult to cover.

Pick up Clank Jr and start him
Ravens waived WR Diontae Johnson.
The move became inevitable after the team excused him from practice this week. He was previously suspended for a week after refusing to enter Week 13’s game against the Eagles. The team seemingly wanted to patch things up with the disgruntled receiver despite his antics, but the relationship was already broken beyond repair following his suspension. Johnson’s time in Baltimore ends with one catch for six yards. He will be subject to waivers. A contending team will almost certainly take a flyer on him even after the failed Ravens stint.

Oh I’m sure KC will take a stab at him and he will become a model citizen.

Steelers' corps is worse of course but the way they are utilized in a Tomlin/Smith offense does them no favors.

Fuck Mike Tomlin
Fuck Arthur Smith
