warfelg Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Looks like “ripped from” Witherspoons hands might be an over exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leal specifically, that athleticism is going to shine at this stage, but if he can handle the power too when the pads come on with contact, I'll get really excited. I don't think anything is going to change with Pickens regardless of if he is wearing shorts or pads. But I still see all those "Justin Hunter is absolutely killing it!" reports every off-season followed by his disappearing act when the pads came on. I dont think you can put too much stock into the good or the bad for rookies in training camp, or even preseason really. I will say though that I expect Pickens to be a nice weapon for us....pending we have a QB that can get it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess AB did this kind of stuff but in a 5'10 body lol Martavis Bryant. Pickens is fast as hell but idk if he has that “freak” speed Martavis had. Pickens is a much more nuanced route runner and is more physical though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I want to see right now. Consistency comes later, but flashing right now can show you are meant to be a pro or if the stage is way too big. The big thing is that athleticism and speed shine in shorts. If Leal can keep popping every once in a while when the pads come on, I’ll get really excited.

bigben07MVP Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Also, Kozora suggests the QB battle is more Mitch vs Mason than Mitch vs Kenny is this article https://steelersdepot.com/2022/07/steelers-2022-training-camp-diary-day-three/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Chase looks like he’s in awesome shape here. He makes Pickens look small standing next to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 can see our WR core having the most rushing yards from a receiving unit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I am interested to see who wins the 5th WR spot between Anthony Miller and Gunner. Both are battling for the PR spot as well, or maybe Austin wins that spot? Will be interesting to watch for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 TJ Watt just pick-6ed a screen pass if you want more evidence that trying to just get this offense on facing this defense being a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigben07MVP Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I feel like Pickens has been the best player on the field outside of TJ Watt so far. Chase better get comfortable in the slot because I think we’re gonna have a hard time keeping Pickens off the field this year. More throws like this over the middle please.
