Wide receiver Diontae Johnson continued his routine of skipping team and most individual portions of practice. He worked on the side with a staff member while quarterbacks took turns throwing to receivers. "Johnson did return to the field after practice to catch passes" and work on pass routes.
imho Diontae Johnson needs to be out there catching all the pass he can get his greedy hands on he's not TJ Watt good.

If I am his agent I am telling him to go out and ball out. If he shows he is a true #1 receiver this year and can show he is over his dropping of passes then someone is going to pay the young man. Him sitting out and not building chemistry with the QBs when the team is on the field is not going to help his cause if he is not on the same page as the rest of the receivers. Right now is the time to work out a lot of kinks that are in the Offense with new plays and different aspects being implemented. He isn't helping himself out sitting and watching that is for sure.
Sounds like a "me-first" type of player. NOT a good look.

It's like he wants to be paid by potential and not production. I hope someone steps up and makes him dispensable. He has yet to show that he deserves an extension. A.B. lite.

Gunner Olszewski, George Pickens both bigger than and better athletes then Diontae, Gunner Olszewski, George Pickens have to show want the to work for a spot at camp and beat out Diontae.
imho the drops and l would say inflated targets Diontae had last season by Ben locking on to him all season, l kind of see A Brown Ben locked on to A Brown for a good 3 years of offensive targets.
LG Kevin Dotson 321 pounds, OC Mason Cole 298 pounds and RG James Daniels 327 pounds, Steelers got 3 really big players inside for the o-line, Get Najee Harris going behind these 3 big guys Steelers might have a good offense this season.

You're right though Eff about Pickens,Olszewski although Pickens strikes me as a little bat shit based on his reaction to being drafted.I have a feeling if DJ doesn't get an extension by the end of camp he holds out just like Bell did and how'd that work out for him?

Very selfish of a receiver who is (possibly) a starter to sit out when you have new QB's you need to get on the same page with.
If he holds out I would trade him immediately.

3rd down and 6 we are marching on the opponents side of the field. QB throws a laser pass where DJ should be but DJ isn't on the same page and runs the wrong route... a lot of fans will blame the QB... DJ won't take responsibility for it...
Can see that kind of shit coming.

Pickens has all the talent, I stay not far from Athens, Ga all I remember his time at Georgia was, really good talent out of high school, was looking good on the field then his knee injury which sucked. His time in Athens never heard anything negative about him, took the high road after knee injury stayed involved with team. Maybe get a good 4 year with Pickens before his crazy contract time comes. Olszewski, see steady play, blocks the right people find holes in zone defenses a steady player who catches the ball.

The ball bounces off his hands for the drive stalling incompletion.

Getting that type of money shouldn't be any dropped footballs, 20 million a year WRs 40 million a year QBs sure getting expensive in the NFL now a days.

If you guys could choose, who would you pick based after 3 years of production: wide receiver A or B?
WR A: 167 catches, 2598 yards, 10 TDs, 81 carries, 550 yards, 11 TDs, 10 drops in year 3 (8,3% drop rate) WR B: 254 catches, 2764 yards, 20 TDs, 12 carries, 109 yards, 0 TDs, 5 drops in year 3 (3% drop rate)

Steelers are tweaking their offense to find bigger roles for Pat Freiermuth and other young tight ends https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2022/08/05/pittsburgh-steelers-training-camp-pat-freiermuth-connor-heyward-zach-gentry-alfredo-roberts-mike-tomlin-tight-ends/stories/202208050036%0d%0a
I like this young TE room with Freiermuth and Gentry 2 TE set could be good in the pass and run game, heard Hayward is having a good camp so far.
On offense... Hayward having good camp... Watt FB and ST captain... on defense Watt defensive player of the year... Hayward defensive captain Watt, Heyward...Watt, Heyward...Watt, Heyward...my head is spinning

Diontae Johnson was wise to go with the safe bet https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2022/08/05/pittsburgh-steelers-diontae-johnson-contract-training-camp-george-pickens/stories/202208050040
Diontae does know somewhat about OC Canada's offense going into training camp with a new comtract.
