Riddle me this Batman, how did Dionte have a promising year without Ben at QB while Juju didn't? Only haters say anything negative about the Steelers? Lol. So Ed Bouche hates the Steelers?

rockaction 25,075 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Base 11 set. Okay. What about reports of Ebron acting as a fourth or fifth receiver in the offense. Could we not see more 12 sets with Vance? That said, even base eleven leaves three WR spots on the field. JuJu, Diontae, James Washington, or Chase Claypool. Who is the odd man out? I don't know. The Steelers have an embarrassment of riches at WR. Care to help out the Jets any? We'll take any of your four guys for a second rounder. At least I would. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbear 373 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m not sure what the beef is between posters here. But you essentially have Juju going back to the slot. You have Johnson as near tops in separation finally getting to play with Ben. You have Claypool who is a size speed nightmare. You have a decent Enron at TE. Great pass catching back and solid runner when healthy. Bens arm may be the only think limiting this offense. Burg fans must be licking their chops as their d is considered excellent as well. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good way start a conversation. ☕ Base 11 would be the most common personnel group. To your point, base 12 will be used more to create mismatches. I’m hopeful they mix up the WR to change the dynamic. Ben is good at reading the D and even make a hot pass on a designed run. Don’t know that Ebron and McDonald would hold up if this was the primary formation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funny story his drop percentage has improved almost every season in the league. So have his targets. Losing Luck along with his injury issue last year made a big difference. But otherwise his entire career has had an upward trajectory. Just realized I'm in the Diontae thread. I do that a lot. Defenses are going to have a really hard time against these guys. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoeSteeler 3,497 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Ben quote on Johnson: “I got to watch him last year and what an incredible talent,” Roethlisberger said. “It has been a lot of fun to actually get more reps with him and more plays. I’m looking forward to getting out in an actual game feel with him because I think sky is the limit in terms of talent with that guy. He is fast, he’s quick, he can get open, he’s got great hands. He’s one of those receivers you look forward to playing with.” 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoeSteeler 3,497 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Steelers WR Diontae Johnson did not practice Thursday according to the team’s official injury report. (Ray Fittipaldo on Twitter) Fantasy Impact: Just like that, Johnson pops up on the injury report with a DNP on Thursday. This doesn’t look good for his chances of playing Week 1, as he wasn’t even able to log a limited practice session. He’ll have to practice in some form on Friday if he wants to have a chance of suiting up Week 1 against the Giants. Luckily, they play Monday night, so Johnson will have an extra day to heal.
