Wonderful news ... opportunity for MB to step up, and he did big time.

[Ernie]

4 for 40 yards? Pfffft that isn’t stepping up BIG TIME

Lmao

His all purpose yards were kinda nice... real nice considering where he was at this time a month ago.

He looks natural back there as a kick returner. I hope they keep him there.

[Slapstick]

Put him back there with JuJu and run a reverse on the KO return...maybe that’ll finally work...

Bryant still has trouble getting open on a consistent basis. Still, it's hard to put up big numbers when Bell and Brown get 42 touches in the game.

Obviously you didn't see him force the bounce outside on his 2nd K.R. .... it wasn't there .... looked like he was afraid to go in the middle.

I must've missed that... still a drastic improvement over what we had back there before with Watson/Touissant etc. No threat of getting past the 20 with those guys.

Have we returned one to the 40 this year other than MB's return against GB?

4 catches for 40 yards with a safety playing deep over Brown all game.
This guy was a gamebreaker....someone who couldn't be covered 1 on 1 without someone over top. He got more opportunities but he's playing like a backup filling in temporarily. Adequate.
This guy was supposed to come back, pick up where he left off and the Steelers offense would be unstoppable.
The drafting of JuJu was a life saver.

The drafting of JuJu will pay even more dividends before this season is over. Did you see his recent post on Instagram or Twitter or whatever? The guy has so much passion for playing; that's going to pay off here in games to come. That is what we need against the Cheats*--someone who is bound to upset the whole apple cart and make something happen. That is what we missed last year against them, that I (coincidentally) thought MB would provide.

We need some young energy that is too "dumb" to know that we are supposed to lose to these cheats*.

While MB has made some modest improvements the rookie remains his nemesis, outplaying him in nearly every facet. It's baffling how a WR the size of MB goes down in pretty much a stiff breeze. I don't see evidence of teams doubling MB or taking coverage away from other WRs which may be his biggest value between the 20s.

I must admit that I have been cursing under my breath at how easy MB seems to go down with the slightest contact given how we have heard how much bigger and stronger he got. He's droping like he has been shot when he is getting hit by mere arm tackles...that is if he isn't tripping over his own feet

I think putting on that extra muscle has hurt his game. Breaking tackles was never his strength, it was outrunning tacklers with his deceptive speed.

I think sitting out a year and then pouting for lack of targets this year is what has hurt his game. Each game seems to bring modest improvement in his game, I'm hopeful that by the time the playoffs roll around that he and Ben are trusting each other and he'll be a player that can make the difference. Eh, so he's tackled easy, stop running the end around with him and if he's gaining chunks of yardage and being tackled, so be it. My prediction is that he'll be a valuable asset this post season.

I agree. I'm more concerned with his hands and head and how aggressively he attacks the ball than how easily he goes down. But it all adds up and right now, not a whole lot is adding up positive for him.

No. What did he say?
