The Deep Ball

Think about it.  How many of us would have predicted the statistics he is projecting to achieve with a declining Green, Boyd, Higgins, Tate, Gio, and Sample as his top targets.  He hasn't had Mixon for two games now, Uzo is out for the season, and Ross never materialized.  He is basically doing it with Boyd, a rookie, Tate, and his RBs.  I won't even get in to the performance of his line.  

It's hard for me to believe I'm typing this but I think the WR depth chart vs. Steelers should be Boyd, Higgins, Tate, Thomas, Green.
