Stills isn’t that guy... He’s not going to sign and be a body for a meaningless game with a backup throwing to him. He’s a legit starting WR. and as others pointed out, with COVID protocol, this is a move for the Playoffs. Edited December 30, 2020 by SCBills
The Wiz Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Just now, Rubes said: Aha! It's a strategic signing to keep him away from Miami this week! As of right now I think they have 3 healthy WR's. 2 are depth and the other is the 3rd WR. Granted most of their yards last week came from Gesicki and dump offs/screens to their RB.

It's obvious though that Beasley's injury is pretty significant. Again though Diggs can and has operated out of the slot. Obviously significant? You sure you want to stand by that? 1

His first game can’t be a full speed playoff.
RochesterLifer Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I get the concern by some that this may reflect on the health of Cole or Smoke. I am thinking (ever the positive one) that this is an example of McDermott and Beane playing 4D chess. No doubt, the team has recognized that that this year presents a legitimate Super Bowl opportunity. So, it makes sense to go all in. Stills provides a quality safety valve for our entire receiver group. Color me excited. 2

Big Turk Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Just heard a report on WGR saying they expect him to be signed if COVID protocols get passed... Nervous what this means in regards to Beasley tho... 3 minutes ago, RochesterLifer said: I get the concern by some that this may reflect on the health of Cole or Smoke.

chris heff Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Legitimately asking, why did he get cut and why has he been sitting around for a month?
quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 So basically by putting our starters in, we’re gambling and saying Pittsburgh’s backups will beat the Browns, our backups won’t beat Miami and Pittsburgh will win their playoff game as well. That’s a lot of ifs to expose your team to injury before a potential Super Bowl run.
njbuff Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I think they just want another vet in the WR room. One more speed guy can't hurt. Maybe he has some insight on Drew Brees when they play the Saints in the SB. 😁..... joking, I am not putting the cart before the horse yet.
Kelly the Dog Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Yes, maybe they are thinking Diggs will play the slot but I doubt it. Stills is not a slot replacement for Beasley. More likely just the roster replacement for Kumerow. I like Stills though. And a speed lineup of Brown, Diggs and Still would be tough to guard, too.

SirAndrew Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Good move regardless of Beasley. I love Smoke, but John Brown has never been a reliable NFL player because of frequent injuries. He’s great when on the field, but that’s the issue. It’d be nice to have an option like Stills, even if Beasley is healthy because Brown is such a wildcard. Edited December 30, 2020 by SirAndrew

With how well our offensive line has pass protected recently, Josh's arm and multiple deep threats should terrify opponents. Liking the signing more and more.
Ramza86 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 There no player that can replace Beasleys knowledge and synergy with Allen. Beasley out will be huge.
