Roman Wilson healthy scratch

[Steelperch]

I guess MVS and Thelein are playing today. Wilson must be a complete moron because he gets open but the QBs don’t trust him at all.

Yep, MVS and OT Dylan Cook were elevated from practice squad to active roster yesterday.

[Orangesteel]

Bringing in the old guys to save the season.

This should go well.

Also, now Roman Wilson joins Kaleb Johnson as two young weapons who can’t get on the field.

Sounds like Tomlin has all of this under control

Wilson’s issue is that he gets too open, and too far downfield.

Can’t have that in this offense.

Much better to rely on the aging veterans who can reliably catch those 2-3 yard passes.

The two RBs we stashed on the practice squad would have been better than Kaleb Johnson has been this year. Wasted pick. Or I should say yet another wasted pick.

Come next year, Roman Wilson will be a 3rd year WR with little to no NFL experience. But so happy we have old veterans coming to save NHALS.

And couldn't they put Scotty Miller on the bench? Or is he too crucial as well?

Also odd that our train was moving too fast before to get guys on the field but not now. Hop on board the train going nowhere.

[pickarooney]

These young guys should whatever they can to get the hell out of Pittsburgh, even they want even a remote shot at a productive career.

[K_C_]

My hope is that Wilson goes to a quality organization and becomes a Shakir type player, because he surely has that ability.

To be fair though, Thielen and MVS = championship.

A direct reflection of the drafting prowess the FO is capable of making these last several seasons.

There is a lot of Roman Wilson love in here but I don't know why. That dude doesn't even have the one trick that Mike Wallace had. Wilson and most of that Michigan team won because they were cheating. The good players on that team were on D.

[langer]

What’s the issue, can’t he catch the damn football? He can’t run the simple routes this team uses?

People who scrub the tape tell me he is wide the fuck open on a regular basis. I sadly trust their takes over the coaching staffs'.

Exactly this.

And I wouldn’t call it “love”. I’d call it “observing a player who could theoretically be capable of doing his job if utilized correctly”.

Something, that frankly, happens way too often on this team.

Like, I kind of laugh a little when people complain about what “failures” some of the free agent signings/trades have been, as if those players went from being positive contributors on other teams, then suddenly all lost each of their athletic abilities at the same time.

DK being a prime example. I’ve seen many posts saying he sucks because he’s not putting up numbers.

Weirdly enough, we put other WRs on the field for a change, to force coverage elsewhere, and suddenly DK isn’t washed up anymore! So weird!

i was told diontae johnson was the ‘best WR at getting separation in the league’ in 2023, which would surely mean he’d be a breakout player once he got out of pittsburgh.

To me, wilson was a terrible prospect coming out, and being buried behind practice squad types on the depth chart late in year 2 is pretty much nail in the coffin no matter how much you hate the coaching staff.

Eh...Ravens gave far, far too much respect to Valdes-Scantling and Metcalf only shit down his pant leg half the time the ball came his way today instead of like 90% of the time as has been the case for most of the year.

I wouldn't get used to it.

Thielan did nothing that I can recall.

Good for us we waited until week 14 to replace #14 George Pickens. I doubt he would have drawn any coverage from DK though.

He was out there on the 9 yard line 1st and goal.
DK on the sideline

So we ran out with
AT16
CA74
JS81
PF88
JW30

I wonder why Baltimore had 11 hats running into Warren's face with that line up of eligible players.

What were Thielen's and MVS's number today?

[Steelperch]

What were Thielen's and MVS's number today?

You can go to ESPN.com or nfl.com and look at box scores. Hope this helps!

Thielen and MVS had a combined 1 catch for 4 yards.

Again, they don't care about #2 and #3 WR's.

They love their TE's but now that Outlier is hurt, Jonnu Smith is awful and Freiermuth basically seems to be going through the motions, Thielen and MVS sure better be prepared for some action next week.

mvs had 4 catches on the year going into today, and theilen’s had 8. For a random comparison, the packers’ #5 WR has 10 so far this year.

People keep saying we don’t use our #2, but i don’t get how you come to that until we see our offense with a #2 WR on the roster. Right now we have a mid #1, a #3 borderline #4, and practice squad caliber guys.

[Rod & Wire Mill]

Roman either pissed off the powers or he’s beyond terrible. Either way, his career is over here, and most likely anywhere else he goes cause he’s already lost whatever time he may have had to develop.

George Pickens himself said something to the effect of; "It'd be DK and 2 (or maybe 3) TE's" and he's right.

The Steelers don't give a flying fuck about who their #2 WR is. They prefer heavy sets and TE's on the field, even when they are down 2 scores in the second half. That's what Arthur Smith wants.

I think he might be done in Pittsburgh, but Wilson will definitely get a shot elsewhere. Just in the last 2 previous weeks, Mason Rudolph had RW wide open twice and missed him badly. Threw one deep pass literally out of bounds. The week before that, Rodgers actually mentioned making a poor throw to Wilson, who it looked like ran the wrong route, but Rodgers took full blame and said something along the lines of; "I can't make a throw like that, 5 feet over Roman's head."

Honestly I don't think this is on Wilson. He's made plays this year in limited opportunities. If he's done in Pittsburgh, I hope he ends up with the Rams or a team that can actually use his talents for more than fucking blocking.

That play failed a few seconds after the previous play ended and the second the opponent saw the Steelers personal come running onto the field.

Correction. That play failed on Tuesdsy or Wednesday, like most of the offense does.

Our 6th OL / tackle eligible has 219 offensive snaps on the year, 25 less than Roman Wilson....who is our WR with the #3 most snaps. Unbelievable.
I would also guesstimate that Spencer Anderson has been in motion more times than Roman Wilson.
Spencer Anderson is more imporrtant and is a bigger part of this offensive philosophy, design, approach and offensive identity and play calling than RW or any other #3/ #4 wr in Tomlins offense.

Roman Wilson has nothing to do with the Steelers having the fewset offensive snaps in the NFL... and the most defensive snaps in the NFL.

RW is the smallest freckle that may not even be a freckle, when diagnosing why the Steelers offense has scored more than 7 points in a quarter just once in the last 6 years and 102 games. A historically, mind numbing, unbelievable stat.

It has happened 3 times in those 6 years and 102 games.....two of those 3 times it was a Minka pick 6 that got them 7 off the points.

The Steelers offense fails Monday thru Saturday more times than any team in the last half century.

Yeah, I like the kid, what I mean to say is certain players just seem to get black balled from the get go by this coaching staff. They also seem to have a proclivity towards knuckleheads.

[955876]

He will be making plays someone where while we are still looking for WRs.
