Yeah. Those were the two. I guess I should've said "character concerns".

Point still holds. I'm not sure many observers wouod have him as the 10th WR off the board and we've not even played a real gsme.

For people whose primary job is to figure this stuff out, they're just not good at it.

If I understand it correctly, the NFL created that… which is even more SAVAGE!!!

[stillers4me]

Well, I'm absolutely sure he's going to get a taunting penalty sooner rather than later. He's very chippy and we will just have to deal with the growing pains while he's pulling Tomlin's shoe out his ass. And I'm pretty sure Tomlin already anticipates it.

Fortunately, it will most likely come after a TD… so the yardage will be assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

[steelreserve]

Let me tell you what, though, if we didn't give Diontae Johnson a big contract, we wouldn't have STABILITY. Who on the roster could play WR1? Just a bunch of question marks like this guy, what a nobody.

[Mojouw]

Yeah because having multiple incredibly talented WRs hasn't been the league wide recipe for success. Not at all.

No one said that it was DJ and some barren wasteland. Everyone agrees the talent pool at WR is deeper than anywhere else on the roster.

Whst was said was that there was no proven NFL X WR on the roster aside from DJ.

And that is still true.

Read Tomlin's discussion of talent versus skill with Pickens. He's not ready to be the #1 focus of an entire passing offense. A WR group is like a basketball team. Set roles and a variety of body types. Right now, if Pickens makes anyone superfluous on the roster it is Claypool. It might be DJ in a couple of years. Right when DJ is either super cuttable cap wise or when his contract expires. Weird. No way Khan planned that.

The Vikings didn't dumo Cris Carter and Jske Reed because they drafted Randy Moss.

The Bengals are not moving on from Tee Higgins because they have Chase.

But you still don’t know if he’s going to be good. Lol. Sure the arrow points up but that’s still no guarantee. The arrow pointed up after Dri Archers first preseason game…

Even if Pickens is pro bowl talent, it’s more than stupid to trade Johnson. Thank God you’re not the GM. It must eat you alive to see good receiving corps out there…take the Buccaneers with Evans, Jones, Godwin, Gage, Miller…yikes. At least two of those guys should be traded.

It was never "dump Johnson because we found another receiver," it was "trade Johnson for a good offer, use that to draft someone else good, and use whatever money you would have paid him to sign one or two OTHER badass players." Basically get two good players for several years, at the expense of slightly less talent at WR for a year, or maybe not even. But you go ahead and keep changing it to whatever you think makes it look like you were right all along.

Ok. But you're assuming that signing Johnson takes other players off the table. It simply doesn't. Their drowning in cap space. And they don't have many current or pending extensions to spend it on.

And I don't have to change anything. Anyone can go seey previous posts in this issue. I've consistently said signing DJ has basically zero opportunity cost for future roster moves.

You're the only one who has expressed certainty that a number of future players are now off the table.

Unless the cap goes down unexpectedly again basic math seems to demonstrate that isn't true. Now, if they would've signed him for $25-30 million annual, then there could be legitimate concerns. But at sub $20 million? They can sign whoever they want whenever they want.

[polamalubeast]

C'mon,the contract of Johnson was a great for the team...I mean,16 WR have a bigger salary(per year) that Johnson right now and it will be more after next offseason

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/sort-value/wide-receiver/limit-100/

And don't worry about the salary cap, you can easily find a way to keep all the players you want now with all the void years contracts and things like that

The only way the steelers and other teams can be in trouble is if the cap goes lower again like in 2020-2021 because of covid-19

[DuckHodges]

I'm glad we kept Johnson. Who do you cover now? Double team one and you got 3 other playmakers who are in single coverage. Play dime and we got Najee Harris

So yeah, I guess I'll rub your noses in it for a little bit.

I seem to remember reading several posts wanting to trade DJ at a 2nd round value. Granted that was vs re-signing him to a $20M/yr contract. I think most on here realize the potential we have with the WR room right now. Most are/were a little gun shy to trade away the proven #1 for the hopes of the said potential though.

Brian Baldinger was breaking down some tape of George Pickens. A couple of things he pointed out:

-the catches are obvious
-the big blocks are obvious

What Baldy focused on was what Pickens did AWAY from the ball, two things that set Pickens apart from most receivers:

-there were times when the play was 30 yards away, but Pickens was blocking like he was a lead blocker

-even when Pickens was not the first or second option on a play, Picken ran his routes like he was indeed the primary target; ergo, the defenders HAD to defend him as such on EVERY play… and more importantly, if/when the QB got to his third option, Pickens was where he was supposed to be on the play (not lollygagging / merely going through the motions).

SUMMATION:
Pickens is a steal.

George Pickens IS THAT DAMN GOOD!!! Find a way to get him the ball. As I said pre-draft, he has the best physical catch radius since Lynn Swann. He's much more aggressive minded than Swannie, so maybe the gifts of Swann with the mentality of Crabtree/Evans?

he has the bloodlines thats for sure ( as I mentioned in the predraft mock thread )

no not Carl Pickens ( although we have no idea who Georges father is I never did get an answer looking for it trying to connect him to Carl )

but he does have a significant athlete relative in his bloodlines

none other than Bo Jackson (his uncle)

Howard was on him some. But, as soon as he wasn’t, the ball should have gone directly to Pickens. Heck, even if Howard was on him, I’d trust Pickens to come down with a 50/50 ball 90% of the time.

This kid needs to start seeing 8-10 targets a game. Pickens saw 3 balls his way today and hauled them all in. Positive outcomes seem to happen more often than not when they throw his way.

The fact that we threw 31 times today and couldn't find it in the gameplan to target Pickens more than 3 times is ridiculous.

What frustrates me more is seeing DJ thrown all these vertical routes that he seems to never pull down.

Blame Canada.

How many times is Crapnada going to toss up a 50/50 ball in the EZ or fade to the EZ to DJ? The complete stupidity of most of the play calls and designs is the most frustrating thing from this season. How long will it take Tomlin to realize this seasons results is almost 100% on Crapnada’s playcalling and play designs? Do we have holes on the team, yep. But we could literally have 4 more wins with a competent OC and playbook right now.

Fade routes and 50/50 balls are not an inherently bad idea or a bad playcall.

The problem is that our "#1 Receiver" isn't very good. On Trubisky's third INT, DJ wasn't even aware of the ball.

It's little things like that instance that make DJ just a really average receiver.

So Pickens is showing that he is a #1 WR, Johnson really has and always been a #2 or #3 WR, but was the best on the roster the past couple seasons. The wildcard is next year to see what Calvin Austin III turns out to be.

I think the Steelers can go 1-3 in their final games of the season and end up with the #7 overall pick. Might still be able to add a WR in the 3rd round.

Almost every WR makes a big jump in route running sometime after their rookie year. Guys like Pickens have never had to run routes with precision before.

Many regard Davante Adams as one of the best in the league. When he broke in with the Packers he couldn’t run routes worth snot. A few years later, he was uncoverable.

Pickens has all the tools to be on the same arc. Terrifying to think what he’s ceiling could be.

its the Bo Jackson Blood line I'm telling you

[Edman]

Called his own name and has his first Game Winner.

All the dude does is make plays.

700 yards on only 74 targets this year(9.5 yards per target)....This man deserves 8-10 target per game at least.If it would been the case he would be the front runner for the rookie of the year

Yes Bo Jackson is his Uncle...

I have wondered for 2 years now if Carl Pickens is his dad but cant find any evidence on it one way or the other but that is how I discovered the Bo Jackson link making me think its more than possible that Carl could be the Biological father via introductions based on the NFL family but its still kind of a longshot ... that said cant find a name on his dad anywhere so clearly out of the picture for one reason of another

[DesertSteel]

Bo is his great uncle and this is the first I’m hearing about it? Wow!

George Pickens is a stellar talent, but did you know that he's not even the most talented American footballer in his house? That honor belongs to George's father, the great Carl Pickens.


https://www.profootballhistory.com/carl-pickens/
Pickens’s son, George, played receiver at the University of Georgia and was selected in the second round (just like his father) in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I think he's already told us that his role model is T.O., not AB. Can you live with that?

100%

T.O. is merely neurotic; AB is psychotic.

He reminds me of Dennis Rodman… who, as Chuck Daly stated, will win you a championship… you just have to accept his quirkiness.

I'm going to have to post a lot less tweet if that's the case

To be back on the topic,my last tweet was this


George Pickens has 13 receptions 20+ yards downfield this season.

Only Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson have more

No it’s a Tapatalk/website problem. I used to be able to see them. It’s probably some update that’s not communicating with one or the other…

No. It’s been screwed up for a long time. That’s why I try to take a screen shot if the tweet and post instead of the link. I posted a thread in the “help section” a few weeks ago about it…

that is an ongoing problem ....

he catches everything in his zipcode he should be seeing 10 targets a game at minimum and he is nowhere close to that or he would be hands down Rookie of the Year

Rodney Harrison stated that Pickens skillset reminds him of Randy Moss.

[Psycho Ward 86]

Still think Julio Jones is the most apt skillset comparison. With Steve Smith's anger/passion after plays :lol:

[Mojouw]

Pickens is what Claypool was supposed to be. And the “best” version of that style of WR is Moss. I think, from what we’ve seen, Pickens may lack the pure run away from everyone thing that a young Moss had. The if he’s even he’s leaving kinda thing.

So, yeah Julio seems reasonable.

Nah…Pickens is potentially much better than what Claypool was supposed to be.

[Hawkman]

I always thought that Claypool was going to be another Burress. Tall, fast, lanky……and win all the “ jump balls”. I know that’s basketball.

Oh, in addition to Steve Smith’s spunkiness, let’s add in Hines Ward’s penchant for blocking. :nod:

The Steelers keep a vile of Hines Ward’s spinal fluid in a safe in Dan Rooney’s office. At the beginning of each season, each receiver on the team receives a shot.

It’s a little funny that there is a “blocking rule” based on a hit that a wide receiver gave. I don’t know which Ward would rather….a big hit on a LB, or catch a deep pass.

Except Diontae Johnson runs backward and never makes it to the office. Instead they gave it to Jaylen Warren. :chuckle:

Tough decision. Really.

This is exactly why I believe Hines Ward HAS to be in the Hall of Fame. He changed things… for forever.

In one of these threads, someone mentioned that Pickens is good, buuuuut he doesn’t fight for the ball.

In the immortal words of John McLaughlin: WRONG!!!

Among the receivers who had 70+ targets this season, Pickens has the HIGHEST “contested catch” percentage.

Additionally, 9 of those “contested catches” went for 20+ yards (also the most in the NFL).

Who said that? That is basically his specialty, making contested catches and tip toeing the sideline successfully.

I actually like to compare him to DeAndre Hopkins. They're both insanely acrobatic with that "dog" type of attitude.

Pickens had 9.5 yards per target this years(over 800 yards and 84 target)...This player need to have over 150 targets next year.....Him and Pat need to have more target in fact
