    Couldn't disagree more.
    While Nate may make a "catch", his drops and misjudgments will outweigh his contribution. Nate might be able to convince an official that the reason he fell down (again) is because of the DB.
    Sweed......will wait until next season to justify his 2nd round selection. Hopefully Hines will be well enough that Sweed doesn't see the field...except as a possible decoy.....if the Cards waste anyone to cover him.

    This game will come down to Holmes, Ward & Heath.....hopefully.
    misjudgments? sounds like someone doesn't like Nate
    Not quite correct. Someone doesn't have confidence in Nate or someone is not impressed with Nate's WR capabilities would be more accurate.

      But they rhyme! And it was a classic storybook collection back in the day!



      Nate the Great
      Nate the Great Goes Undercover
      Nate the Great and the Lost List
      Nate the Great and the Phony Clue
      Nate the Great and the Sticky Case
      Nate the Great and the Missing Key
      Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail
      Nate the Great and the Fishy Prize
      Nate the Great Stalks Stupidweed
      Nate the Great and the Boring Beach Bag
      Nate the Great Goes Down in the Dumps
      Nate the Great and the Halloween Hunt
      Nate the Great and the Musical Note
      Nate the Great and the Stolen Base
      Nate the Great and the Pillow Case
      Nate the Great and the Mushy Valentine
      Nate the Great and the Tardy Tortoise
      Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas
      Nate the Great Saves the King of Sweden
      Nate the Great and Me: The Case of the Fleeing Fang
      Nate the Great and the Monster Mess
      Nate the Great, San Francisco Detective
      Nate the Great and the Big Sniff
      Nate the Great on the Owl Express
      Nate the Great Talks Turkey

      I think this book is about the time when #3 WR and child detective Nate the Great Washington followed teammate Santonio around trying to get some receiving and detective tips, but "Sherlock" Holmes preferred to just roll up a big fat doobie and cruise through the Burgh instead:

      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.

          Don't underrate Nate. The game is going to be played in the warm climate. I think he prefers that. Some of his best moments came toward the beginning of the year when the weather was still temperate. If they go to sleep on Nate, I could him getting behind that secondary.

          I don't worry about him catching the ball. He has trouble wresting it away from a defender, but if he is past them, he will make the play.

            I hope you are correct. If Hines can't play the entire game we will need Nate to catch ALL the balls that he can get his hands on.

              Great game for Holmes.
