After a questionable Day 1 trade in the 2019 NFL Draft https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey , the Steelers followed it up with a questionable pick for Toledo WR Diontae Johnson."Few Pittsburgh Steelers fans were thrilled to hear wideout Diontae Johnson named called on Friday night. I scrunched up my face and wondered like everyone else, “Who is this guy who stands five-foot-10 and 183 pounds from Toledo?” I quickly looked up his bio and combine numbers and was not inspired. His 40-yard dash was clocked at 4.53 seconds. While not terrible, I was expecting more from a sub-six-foot player. Forty speed does not always matter, right? For a slot wideout quickness is just as important. In the 3-cone drill, Johnson ran a 7.09. Again, not terrible but not flashy either. The MAC is a far cry less talented than conferences such as the SEC and Big 10. As fans, we do not know what the blueprint general manager Kevin Colbert has for the Steelers. I voiced my displeasure at grabbing a wideout last week in an article and I still stand by that. I see the team having other needs. Needs that are greater than plucking a Toledo Rockets wide receiver in the third round. Obviously, tight end is not high on the list as four of them went in the third round. None to the Black and Gold. Colbert has another plan at the position or does he have more faith than I do in Xavier Grimble? As a betting man, I would say the latter. I hope that faith is well placed with Vance McDonald, who is all but assured to miss time in 2019 due to injury. McDonald has averaged 12 games per season in his six-year injury-plagued career. As things stand the Steelers third safety is Jordan Dangerfield. Pittsburgh has plenty of picks left to use on a safety but will they and can the player beat out Dangerfield? Will former safety Mark Barron keep him off the field in dime situations? Will the Steelers run big nickel? Pittsburgh was in their dime package 37.2 percent. of the time last season up from 24 percent in 2017. What is Colbert’s plan for Bud Dupree? The Steelers going to try to sign him to a long-term contract or let him play out this season and see how things go? In a deep EDGE rush class, the Steelers have yet to snare one. Fan favorite, Chase Winovich was staring Colbert in the face early in the third round. Instead of writing his name on the card, the Steelers passed and New England snapped him up 11 picks later. How does Johnson see the field in 2019? This has been swirling around my head since the selection was made. He will need to beat out Ryan Switzer for the kickoff and punt return duties. Kickoff and punts returns are Johnson’s best attributes Johnson ranked 22nd in the nation with a 25.8 kickoff return average and sixth in the nation with an 18.5-yard average. For him to be active on game days he will need to supplant Ryan Switzer. Switzer was twelfth in the NFL in kick return average (20.2 yards) and thirteenth in punt return average (8.4 yards.). The assumption is Johnson will be given every opportunity to beat out Switzer. Switzer’s fate would be sealed and most likely lose his roster spot. To see any meaningful playing time on offense T. J. Watt Jersey , Johnson would need to pass up Eli Rogers. The only thing that makes Eli Rogers special is his connection with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben has faith in Rogers in some of the biggest games over the past three seasons. Over the past three playoff games, the duo has hooked up for 17 receptions. Last season when AB no showed for Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Rogers ended up with seven receptions for 52 yards. Three of which resulted in a first down. Look, I get it. The Steelers are not drafting just for 2019. I just see other positions as greater need and the wide receiver position can be addressed in 2020. I do not necessarily have an issue with Johnson as a football player, instead; I have issues with the position drafted and how productive he will be in 2019. Other positions would have a much clearer path to playing time and relegate subpar players to special team’s duty. Johnson will be forever linked to AB as the No. 66 pick was part of the compensation from Oakland. As Steelers fans, we can only hope that Johnson’s career is as good as Emmanuel Sanders and Mike Wallace and not similar to Willie Reid and Sammie Coates.Steelers vs. Ravens Final Score: Steelers’ inconsistencies glaring in 26-14 loss to Baltimore The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens had an AFC North score to settle. In what is usually a very even series, the Steelers had won the previous three meetings, but these two teams were vastly different heading into this Week 4 prime time matchup at Heinz Field. Pittsburgh won the coin toss prior to the game, and elected to defer their first possession to the second half. With Baltimore starting the game with the football, it took just under 5 minutes for the Ravens to draw first blood. Joe Flacco hit John Brown for a 33 yard touchdown to give Baltimore an early 7-0 lead.On the Steelers’ first possession, on third down, Ben Roethlisberger hit Vance McDonald in the flat, and as it looked like he would be stopped for the yard to gain Jerome Bettis Jersey White , safety Tony Jefferson stripped the football and recovered the fumble. Three plays later Flacco his running back Alex Collins in the flat to make it 14-0 while the Steelers had yet to even get a first down.In their third offensive possession, Pittsburgh finally tallied their first first down of the game, and after a big pass and catch to JuJu Smith-Schuster, the Steelers found themselves in Baltimore territory for the first time. On third and ten, a pass to Smith-Schuster in the end zone was broken up, and Pittsburgh was forced to settle for a Chris Boswell field goal, making the score 14-3.The Steelers’ defense continued to resemble Swiss cheese more than a steel curtain, and on the Ravens’ first play on their next drive Flacco hit Brown for a 71-yard completion to put the Ravens deep in Pittsburgh territory. However, on the next play from scrimmage, and it was recovered by Terrell Edmunds.The next drive started at the one-yard line, and it took up over 6 minutes of game time, but when threatening the put up their first touchdown of the game James Conner Jersey White , they were held to another Boswell field goal making the score 14-6 with 6:26 left in the first half.Pittsburgh’s defense forced a three-and-out, giving the team’s offense the ball with 5 minutes remaining in the half. What happened next is a 76-yard drive, all passes, which ended in a beautiful strike from Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown for the score. Mike Tomlin elected to go for the two-point conversion to tie the game, and the pass to James Conner in the flat was good, tying the game at 14-14.The 14-14 tie held through halftime, and the Steelers opened the second half with their seemingly patented three and out to start a half. But both offenses failed to move the football throughout the early portions of the third quarter.Leave it to Justin Tucker to break the tie, and he hit a 47 yard field goal with 4:00 left in the third quarter to give the Ravens a slight 17-14 advantage.The Steelers’ offense ineptitude continued throughout the third quarter, and it wasn’t until the fourth quarter when Tucker hit another field goal, this from 49 yards, to extend the Baltimore lead 20-14. The Justin Tucker show continued in the fourth quarter, and another Jordan Berry punt, this time down to the 6-yard line Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , Baltimore rattled off a nifty, time-consuming, drive ending in a Tucker chip shot to make the score 23-14 in the waning minutes of the quarter. In desperate need of a drive, not only did the Pittsburgh offense fail to muster a first down, but on 3rd and 10 Ben Roethlisberger threw an interception which essentially iced the game away.The turnover resulted in yet another Tucker field goal, to make the score 26-14. This score would stand as the final score of the Week 4 contest. The loss moves the Steelers’ record to 1-2-1, and the Ravens advance their record to 3-1 — on top of beating Pittsburgh for the first time in the last three tries. In Week 5 the Steelers will remain at home, where they haven’t won a game yet this season, to host the Atlanta Falcons for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
