Great win but Lattimore needs to have more pride than that. I just feel like last year if he was matched up on Brown he would not have had half of those yards. They only have one true weapon and its frustrating to know where the ball is going to go and still cant stop it. I love how everyone else fought though.

IDK DS35, AB is the best WR in the NFL.

Latt plays better against bigger WR's who he can go with step for step. AB is smaller, fast as hell and consistently beats zone coverage. I don't think we'll face another WR remotely close to AB's game changing ability.

Collectively, that Steeler WR group is a match up nightmare for a lot of teams.

Very true, Lattimore got absolutely torched and how you allow that 17 yard completion on 4th and 15 is unthinkable. I was convinced Lattimore had just lost us the game after Brown beat him there.

Coaches said he started off slow due to lazy practice habits, I hope seeing Brown nearly get 200 yards and 2 TD's on you lights a fire.

Crossing patterns ? check.
Slant patterns ? check
In and out routes ? check

He is soooo much more valuable than just catching a pass. The guy performed like an experienced vet at WR.

Yep.. Ginn's real value isnt what he can personally do with a ball. His value is with what he makes a defense do because he in the field. His speed must be accounted for upfront and I think that opens up Thomas just enough to be a huge value.

He did the same thing in week 1 against the Bucs. I still think he is one of the best corners and he is a personal favorite of mine but I was cussing him out through the t.v. last night.
