bersin ......here comes your chance son

I hate to break the collective heart, but if he gets more than 3 catches, we're down by 24 and carting players off. Or ahead by 24 and they're carting players off.

So Ron Rivera finally joined the huddle! So what's the roster gonna be Sunday? Any game plans you wanna share?

[Carolinaboy1979]

The huddle has got Bersitis!!

That's better than BRSA.......too much?

SMH

why smh? you dont think bersin has it?

[MHS831]

true. i think bersin would probably drop less than smitty did and wouldn't have the coverage he had to face, thanks to benjamin and olsen. but he also would have to deal with less of the very limited targets available thanks also to KB and olsen.

 

there's just not a lot of passes being thrown around in this offense and as good as bersin might be, at best he will be the third option behind benjamin and olsen who get the vast majority of targets.

 

the bar for success is set pretty low for any receiver beyond those two guys. success will be just catching the ball and making the most of the limited opportunities he's given.

 

He is a sure-handed, tall chain mover.  However, there are times when the defense pays so much attention to Benjamin and Olsen, he could get some check down opportunities.  This game is set up to be that kind of game.  Mike and Troy P are not cover safeties and Pittsburgh has never staked their rep on cover corners.

 

On the other hand, the running game should benefit this week.  I think the Steelers are worst in the league right now.

Bersin has the capability but not the experience.  He will do fine eventually.  A break out performance?  Not this week.  May make some plays but he has a lot to learn.

Perfect

Yup. He's not explosive anyways, so expecting a breakout game is difficult.

A breakout game would be 3 to 4 catches,50-80 yards, and 2 or 3 first downs, and possibly a td. For a guy who came from nowhere..that would be impressive.

[rayzor]

the thing that he has going in his favor is that he was one of the guys that cam favored in training camp and a bit in preseason, iirc, so there's a level of comfort. what helps that is that coverage will be rollin to other guys since he is an unknown element so if he draws any coverage at all, it won't be their best guys covering him. he should get open enough to make a few good catches.

That would be very impressive.
