August4th Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 vance/ebron does not sound bad as a TE receiving combo if they stay healthy guess we can scratch taking a TE in the draft for this yr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We did who to what now? Surprised they made a "splash". Not super excited its THIS splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they treated Gentry last year, I wouldn't be super surprised for them to draft a #3 still. Just scratches it off the need list.

I get what you're saying but a 2 year $6 million per doesn't classify as a splash. Maybe in Steeler world. I like it and I'm usually annoyingly critical. Not a lot of money in a position of need to a player that has shown the ability to be dynamic tho not consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlevinKelevra Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 best news I've heard this week. Ben will fall in love with him Quickly in the RZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livewire Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I definitely like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I like it only because of how cheap we are getting him. He’s had trouble staying healthy his entire career but if he can stay healthy he’ll be a nice weapon for Ben. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bold is correct and what I am alluding to. This is a splash for us. He just.....isnt that good. Maybe being a number 2 TE in an offense with a guy like Ben gets the most out of him. I hope so, I could see a lot of creative ways to use him. Hoping he is the Ladarius Green, middle field stretcher we never got. Its probably because I have no trust in Fichtner to use him correctly. He is a big WR, not an In-line TE. Flexed in the slot, wide over a receiver, motioned in formations for mismatch....those will be key. Could be great, but I really question Ebron.

Dcash4 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I should add, this will definitely grow on me as my mind goes over all the fun 2TE, no huddle offensive things I can think of and how to be flexible and different and create mismatches and I will be his biggest fan going into week 1. Then, we will use him as a 2nd TE on the line of scrimmage for the first 2 weeks and I will realize why my knee jerk reaction was to dislike the signing.

AFF Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I called for this during the season and early in the offseason...needed another weapon for Ben...perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 ben current passing targets Juju Johnson Washinton Vance Ebron Conner I hope they add another weapon through the draft to push guys like siwtzer(how is he not cut yet)/samuals off the roster. I think this can be a decent passing attack if they stayhealthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Snack Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I didnt think Ebron would be a target for us because i thought he would get a lot more than 6 mil per. This is a very good signing imo. He is never going to be kelce or kittle or remotely close to his draft position but he is 1 year removed from a 66/750/13 season. He is a capable blocker and adds another scoring threat on this team. Well played to Colbert on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
