I dont think Brown is our Best WR. Our best WR is Mike Wallace. It would be interesting to see what Brown could do WITHOUT Mike Wallace opening up the middle for him. Wallace experienced the same thing with Tone. Santonio opened it up for him as a rookie. Santonio left and we saw what Wallace could do on his own.
In defensive meetings, I guarantee they spend more time and attention to Wallace than Brwon.
Agreed. The good news is that now these teams are going to have to "pick their poison." Do they want to deal with Wallace's speed, the long ball and excellent sideline work? How about a guy like Brown that snags whatever is thrown is way and is dangerous in space after the catch? Then you still have to deal with Sanders, Heath, Cotchery and hopefully Rainey soon.
The challenge will be for Ben to find the mismatches and make the throws. If the first two weeks are any indication, he's well on his way.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
I wouldn't read too much into that. Brown was willing to do the deal right away and Wallace was in a free-agent position and wanting to get more. That was more about their ability to negotiate the deal than the priority they place on the players.
It also means little to me if it's a "luxury" right now. Next season will have worries of it's own. I just plan to enjoy both of these guys on the field THIS year.
Steelers 2015 Draft???....Go Freak! As in....
1-Bernardrick McKinney MLB Mississippi State 6 ft 5 250 4.5 40 yard dash
It's just plain good drafting to get such value out of a 3rd round and a 6th round pick...
In the Steelers' offense, the potential is to be greater than the sum of the parts, considering the amazing job of distributing the passes...both Haley and Ben deserve kudos for keeping their weapons (including Heath Miller!!) involved...
