Randle El had one catch for 14 yards. He started today right? Was he #2 or #3 behind Thrash and Lloyd?
Maybe it was inexperience at QB combined with a good pass defense? At what point do we start raising some eyebrows at Randle El's production as a wideout?
He's never going to catch 80 balls. What they need from him is to do his punt return thing and then provide one or two explosive plays on offense per game. Those may be runs, passes, or catches. I don't see him ever breaking out for 10 catches and 200 yards in a game. If he were capable of that, he would have done it in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are not a club that allows any talent to go to waste. If he had potential as a great WR, Cowher would have dragged it out of him. Instead he ended up in the role that he did which will end up being the same role he plays for us. That's why Lloyd was also signed. He is the more traditional WR compliment to Moss.

If that is the case then he is being paid too much for what he is doing. That money he is making sure could be spent elsewhere.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't see a whole lot of anger with Gibbs.

They tried some trickery with Cooley throwing to El. I prefer it when it's the other way around.

He should be angry. We went from contender last year to arguably worst team in the league under his watch.

Look at his career stats. What did you expect from the guy, a 1000 yard season?

I like Randle El, I wanted Randle El, thought he'd look good in Burgundy, and I still do. Just understand that as a wide receiver, there's nothing special about him. What's special about him is that he CAN hold his own at WR, while doing so much more for this team.

I sensed it. I think Williams may be really close to the Hot Seat....
I wonder if the D keeps playing like it is where Williams will end up. I also wonder if Williams isn't pissed because of Saunders coming in and challenging him to be the predecessor here, because it looks like our D is CONSTANTLY out of position. You couldn't do that shit on purpose.
You guys still want him to be our next Head Coach?

I bet Williams would love to leave this situation. We are a joke.

don't forget that he's part of the punchline too
