Steelers WR Diontae Johnson and C Kendrick Green Placed on Reserve/COVID-19 List

[Stewey]

His drops have vastly improved this year. I have high hope he can tighten things up even more this off-season.

How have his drops improved - he has better dropping technique? I think you mean his receptions have improved.

How do receptions improve? A reception is a reception. I think you mean him securing the ball has improved! LOL

Losing Diontae Johnson really hurts, especially against the Ravens who are tough on the run but weaker at pass defense.

Message to the remaining receivers PLEASE Man up for Big Ben and play like it's the Super Bowl. No antics or first down shows. Just hard nose Hines Ward football.

Claypool will be out there jumping for every pass thrown his way, winding up on the ground and complaining to the ref that his eye black is crooked.

His drop rate has improved from 13.2% to 3.6%. So no. I meant what I said. His drops have vastly improved.

Short concise and to the point. I like it.

I think people know how good DJ and we kind of expect a little more out of him especially when we see some great catches he makes.

When other guys like JW or Chase mess up, it's pretty much expected.

This is the classic raising the bar for a quality player and letting other fuckwads get a pass. Why the **** is Washington EVER on the ******* field, that guy never gets separation, and as a result rarely catches anything, yet they keep trotting him out there like he doesn't suck week after week. We all just accept it because, well, we all know he sucks. But DJ Drops 4 this year total, and it's the end of the world.

Oh, and off topic, but Mikey T, when the backup Oline does better than the starters, maybe the ******* starters shouldn't be the starters anymore. Just a thought, you dipshit.

All I'm saying is that whole thing is a little harsh. Even Green. If he is not as good he just shouldn't start. Shouldn't celebrate that.

I am celebrating him not being on the field. We clearly got push and opened running lanes without him in the middle. He is an undersized, short armed Center who was a mistake to draft. We could have got Creed and had an All Pro every year snapping the football instead of a project who damn near got Ben killed his final season.

DJ is soft. There is no question he is talented but he should not be our #1 featured WR. We need to upgrade the position.

The Steelers just activated Johnson from the COVID list

Told you all that DJ would drop Covid in a day.
