I think what is overlooked is that the free agent signings in general have been pure dog vomit the past 5 or so seasons in general (before anyone says Joe Haden, hence why I said 90%).
Ben proved Sunday he is comfortable with Monty. Monty can catch so far, somebody needs to find Monty some old AB gloves laying around somewhere.
Re: Washington should be our WR2
Its too bad Steelers went for the budget bin in free agency. Pretty sure they were interested in Tyrell Williams as well, I know the raiders paid big bucks but the dude looked awesome on Monday night. Caught the ball with his hands, imagine that a receiver actually using their hands and in traffic to boot.

I was always taught you catch with your hands but pull it in to the body ASAP. Monty just needs to catch period and don't care which method he uses. Anyways the better wr's in the league don't need taught nothing and comes natural to them.

The silver lining in all of this: Moncrief was open & targeted ten times (and was open on several other plays). He dropped six of those targets, but at least the guy is getting separation from DBs.
Fast-forward: Ben is going to hit an open receiver. Every time. Why force the ball to a receiver being smothered by a DB? Moncrief simply has to catch those balls.

I wanted williams as well and didn't think he would get that much more than moncrief. I knew he was good bc I've had him on my fantasy team in the past and the only reason the Chargers were moving on from him was bc they had 2 studs in Allen and Mike Williams.
