WR Trade Market/CAIII

[Drink IRON City]

If what some say is true, then Roman was a wasted pick. Who could for-see that he couldn’t catch on. He could have slinked the interviews and maybe we didn’t do enough to investigate. There is also the “player whisperer” aspect of the situation as well.

Not pointing fingers, but if he isn’t going to get it, move on unless willing to pay the low dollar rookie salary in hopes the investment can return some sort of payback.

Either way, this situation makes leadership look bad.

I just think in the Smith offense, Wilson wont get a lot of chances to show much at 3wr, and honestly, until he shows stuff on the field, Tomlin will absolutely play known vets over him... its just what he does. He is really conservative unless you force his hand

Based on what we've seen from Smith's offense, almost nobody in the passing game gets to show too much.

I meet some very interesting people when I play Madden online.

On Thursday, I had the absolute pleasure of playing a local Yinzer, who is the strength and conditioning coach, at Pitt. He beat me 7-0 the first game (the game stupidly allows same team matches so it was Steelers vs. Steelers). And I won the second matchup 20-17; but he started talking to me in the second game and I learned that Darnell Washington is the biggest and baddest dude in the gym and none of the Steelers want to workout with him because he's an absolute beast!!!

Then we talked about Roman Wilson... his opinion was quite enlightening--- he said that Roman can't get in the field because he still hasn't caught on to the plays and doesn't run the right routes if an audible is called.

That's shocking. I still like Wilson but I wish he was smarter...

Just makes me wonder how you can go from playing neighborhood pick up games through college at a major program without the ability to grasp a playbook.

Wilson could be dealing with a learning disability like auditory processing disorder.

That is something that may not be easily picked up in a standard interview. And it doesn't mean that the lad is stupid, just that he might have a problem. Your average person hears an audible and knows what is expected within a second or so. People with APO may take 5/6 seconds or more to fully process what they hear. That delay would not transfer well to an NFL field. Michigan ran a run-heavy offense and Wilson may have only been asked to block and run a very limited route tree.

Wilson, Blake Corum, and JJ McCarthy all struggling to get PT and even after they do they look lost.

It’s becoming crystal clear that Connor Stalions was the MVP of the UM run a couple years ago.

McCarthy is not struggling to get playing time he just can't stay healthy. They got rid of Darnold to hand McCarthy the starting job. As for Wilson he hasn't gotten much of a chance. He produced in preseason though. They should throw him in there and give him a legit chance. Some just don't practice well
