2013 Receiving Corp

I think Brown and Wallace both could get better. I agree that Brown had a dissappointing season, Wallace needs to improve his game. Cotchery needs to see more playing time in my opinion.

the only thing wallace wants to improve is the size of his paychecks. i cant wait for him to leave.

Brown is their #1, Sanders will be there #2 and Cotchery will enter TC as #3. But they will need to find a 4. Haley's offense doesn't call for 5 WRs so they only need yo account for injuries like they did this year. Signed Burress who could be signed to a vet min contract of 2 yrs. I would like to see them sign a solid TE in free agency so that they can run Haley's offense correctly.

IMO I would like another quality TE, would love to see some two TE sets. Could possibly run out of them and/or set up mismatches with LBers. Of course finding one is the problem.

[Millers the sh!t]

I'd like to drop 17 and pick up a tall physical receiver that had heart and fights for the ball. Wallace can't make catches unless he has 3 feet of seperation and the ball is delivered PERFECTLY into his cradled arms and torso. That happens once every ten attempts. I'd rather a slower receiver that snatches balls away from DB's and cones down with the catch. I think that type of receiver would compliment Ben ten times more than a speed ball ***** WR.

But you're right about them not being used correctly. Why would Haley call an outside run play where the receivers are expected to sustain a block? STUPID. Now that Hines is gone the receiving corp (other than what I saw Cotchery do) doesn't run block well anymore.

Excellent point. I've been like a broken record repeating this ( ) and I know I did comment on their size in one of these threads. IMO their lack of size led to a lot of their fumbles. Rather than getting these guys deeper where they are going against defenders closer to their size the constant 10 yard patterns had them taking a beating by LBers. I wonder why the signed a guy like Burress and then never used him, not even in the red zone on games he actually dressed in.

I think the Steelers are going to give Plax a legitimate shot next year to be a key player at the WR position.
Give him a full offseason of training and a full camp to compete with the younger guys.
His size would be a nice addition, something we don't have.
