He’s a legit starting WR. and as others pointed out, with COVID protocol, this is a move for the Playoffs.

The Wiz Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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.

So I wouldn't worry about the timing. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterLifer Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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.

Don't see how it would have anything to do with Beasley. Stills has played in the slot but that is not his primary role. If Beasley is out for a couple weeks we'll see McKenzie take those snaps, or put Diggs at the slot more than usual. Stills is coming in to be veteran depth as an outside receiver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) This would be GREAT signing for playoff time. Regardless of what it could mean about bease, I also am not sure they trust Davis downfield unless he’s wide open. He can’t even draw a DPI. Stills is a legit starting WR who is a vet and had played in big games. Edited December 30, 2020 by YoloinOhio 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Dr. Chao a great twitter follow and former team doctor of the Chargers, said Beasley's injury looked like a foot sprain and he should be good to go for playoffs. This guy doesn't bat 100% with his diagnosis predictions, but hes right a lot, so this gave me some hope he'll be alright. I think we might be seeing an increase in 4 & 5 WR sets come playoff time, Stills will fit in nicely. Probably has much more reliable hands than Knox or Davis. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a lot harder without Beasley. Honestly what he does to find the soft spot or help Allen in tight spots cannot be replicated unfortunately. We need him back against a formidable defense.

Without him, we at least need smoke. But what if both get hurt? Davis and Roberts ain’t it. This is win or go home. Adding another legit offensive weapon at this point who knows what he’s doing... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Not sure how the offseason goes, but i bet dudes will be lining up to want to catch passes from Josh Allen.
