Pretty tough to cover that many guys who could be a one. Even James Washington is quietly having an excellent start to the season. He is a solid 2 on any team. Especially as the season wears on and you start seeing teams having to get well past their Game one starting secondary, you are going to get some pretty good ****** matchups.
 
Right now all the WR’s are playing selfless ball. We have a team of 4-5 #2’s right now, which beats the hell out of what we had with AB as the #1.

When you get Johnson in there, the Steelers have four legit receiving options with such a diversity of skills it's tough to defend. More importantly, Ben is taking what the defense gives him and doesn't feel the need to feed any one of them.

Dead on post. Plus they can get to the line and he can choose the best matchup or manipulate a matchup by changing a route. I think that is what happened on the Washington TD and the Claypool dagger.

I would sit him until his vagina.....errrr his toe heals up. No need to rush him back out there right now. With Ebron in the middle we are fine at receiver for the time being.
 
Yeah Dionte plays when he is fully healed and his time on returns is now over. Though I would have a discussion with Ray Ray about not bringing out the ball 5 yards deep. That ain't happening.

It wouldn't surprise me if the coaches told him to take it out with the hope of turning it into a big play.

Errrr...Those type of injuries linger. Johnson has some talent but physical and mental toughness relative to his teammates who also play receiver needs improvement.
