I didn't watch the game, only red zone so I didn't get to see what happened.Not targeting Pickens against the worst pass D in the league was criminal. Good coaches attack weaknesses of their opponents. Canada is a joke.
I read that they had Pickens lined up in the slot much of the game which is not his usual position. Maybe that had something to do with lack of targets.
Also, it would not surprise me if they were punishing him for his unnecessary personal foul at the end of the Bengals game.
Very disappointing results for a game in which he had the match up (weak Atl defense) and motivation (playing at "home" for friends and family) to go off.
His personality is definitely more along the lines of an AB, TO, Ocho Cinco, Dez than a Diggs, Kupp, Julio, etc.
Hopefully he has the maturity, patience, and desire to be able to learn from his mistakes and fulfill his potential. Talent wise he should be a top 10 WR for the next 7 years.
