    He needs to just go ahead and change his name from Donte Moncrief , to WTF Moncrief.

      Moncrief injured his finger trying to catch a deep ball at the end of July. Is there any chance it's not totally healed and that's the issue.

        I could really see the kid EXPLODE with Rudolph as QB, as they BOTH are in their comfort zone together.

        Thoughts?
        The coaching staff has to put Washington on the field before he can make plays for MR.

            James Washington trying to stay positive despite slow start

            Posted by Josh Alper on October 3, 2019, 6:37 AM EDT

            One of the questions around the Steelers this offseason was who would step into the No. 2 receiver role with JuJu Smith-Schuster taking a step up the depth chart following Antonio Brown’s departure.

            Donte Moncrief and James Washington were two of the names in that mix, but neither has really filled the void. Moncrief squandered his chance by dropping a slew of passes in the first two weeks of the season and has barely played the last two weeks.

            Washington has remained in the lineup and played almost 70 percent of the offensive snaps, but he has just six catches for 88 yards to show for his time on the field.

            “I just have got to stay positive and make the plays that come my way. . . . It’ll happen,” Washington said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “Just stay confident in everybody on this team and trust that everything that happens, happens for a reason.”

            There was a feeling that Mason Rudolph taking over the starting job would mean good things for Washington as the 2018 draft picks played together at Oklahoma State. Washington has two catches for 14 yards on six targets in Rudolph’s two starts, although that doesn’t seem to have shaken his fate that his day will come.

            Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

            Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

            We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

            We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

              Washington seems like he is still dazzled by the bright lights of the regular season.

                Given our current offense, not sure if we can really evaluate the receivers at all.

                  Agree, until it's opened up a little, we just can't tell what we have in the receivers. Hoping we see a little more against Baltimore.

                    If we want to win this game, the offense has to open up more then it did against the Bengals.
