    Washington’s chance to prove to the world that he’s a legit #2. I hope he succeeds.

    I don't think any of these receivers can prove much of anything with this QB/OC combination.

    he hasnt thus far and he has had playing time with JuJu out , Claypool nicked up , DJ missed time .... he's gotten quite a bit of snaps just not many targets or receptions ... QB's tend to throw it else where when you fail to get separation
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    combat catching is his specialty, has no separation speed or not much quickness either that I’ve seen. As much as they were head cases, AB and MB were pretty good speed burners and created a lot of separation, this current group except maybe DJ not so much.

    Claypool officially ruled out. Do they bring up Miller?

    Unpopular opinion: James Washington is not a viable NFL WR and was not a good draft pick since his lack of NFL athletic talent was evident in his pre-draft testing and college game tape. Washington wins on toughness and scheme to help him succeed. That's cool in college but not in most NFL offenses.

    There is also some "blame" to toss Washington's way here as well. He seems to be convinced that he can still be a downfield vertical threat in the NFL, despite all evidence to the contrary. Why he has not redoubled his efforts to become a better blocker and short area middle of the field "possession" receiver seems odd to me.

    He was just overdrafted in R2. He should've gone in R4-5. He ran a 4.54 at 213 lbs. so his athleticism isn't horrible. The JW experiment should end after this year though. Colbert gets a miss every once in a while at WR.

    that's all fair. I completely agree with that.

    The good news is that everyone else who was on the injury report was FP today. I was a little worried about Najee and Heyward.

    Re: Chase Claypool Injury news

    Washington had the best week of any player at the Senior Bowl. I think that that propelled him up draft boards.

    I’ve said it since that draft, I’m really surprised that the Steelers didn’t take Fred Warner there. I mocked him to the Steelers after the Steelers met with him/spent considerable time with him. It would have solved a lot of our problems. I know hindsight is 20/20, but I immediately was like . (Warner is in the doghouse in San Fran; maybe we can get him for our R3 pick.)

    He can be an NFL receiver, just not a very consistent one. He is one of those players where the opponent and the course of the game dictate what opportunities he will have, rather than the other way around. Not totally useless, but hasn't shown he has much more to offer than any other random WR.

    That is also likely true.

    But...regardless...Washington was an over-draft by the Steelers. When you get repeatedly passed by incoming rookies of all draft statuses, a few totally random FAs, etc. -- pretty safe to conclude you aren't all that exciting as a player.

    Honestly, I would rather see Steven Sims or Anthony Miller off the PS dress over Washington at this point.

    Well....just looked it up...Sims is on the roster for Sunday. He had a role for WFT for a minute awhile back.

    Definitely he was a reach at R2. You look at some of the other guys we've gotten there, like Claypool and Juju, and it's no contest.

    I don't know whether to call him overdrafted or just disappointing. If I remember it right, the scouting reports on him were pretty rosy and said he was a good deep threat - but whatever the case, he hasn't lived up to his draft status.

    Maybe it's the "jack of all trades master of none" thing with Washington. He does a lot of things okay but nothing extremely well.

    Don't know. But a thought.

    Because I've been thinking out loud, Washington will go off for like 150 yards and a couple of TDs.

    They took turns getting our hopes up.

    WASH: Ok, you throw it to me; I’ll catch it, but get this: I’ll push off.

    RUDY: Yes!!! Okay, then I will have you open, but throw it behind you.

    WASH: May I still push off???

    RUDY: Obvs!!!
