Pickens not blocking

[CATCH17]

This is disturbing.. It takes everyone on run plays to make it a success. Him playing like this could cost us a big run.

 

[Teague31]

Yeah not good. Hopefully he gets called out in film sessions

 

[CyberB0b]

He’s a talented head case. He is what he is.

 

[BrassCowboy]

You picked out one play. I just got done watching two different times he plowed a defender blocking.

Yeah everyone has things they need to tighten up and this game will be a great film study

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He played over 60 snaps.....small sample here

Nah man..

It’s not one play.

There is a lot of lackadaisical Pickens in this game.

He’s gotta be better than this.

 

[nightrain]

Pickens and Lamb looked identical on that play.

 

[BrassCowboy]

That will be on film then

Context.......
Here is OP profile.....he's a Steeler Fan
It's why the power of social media ....... he exposes ONE of Picken's tough plays to millions and I am not saying he is lying. Just be careful with some X material. Trust me I know......I have made enough mistakes where now ALL threads are permanently censored (LOL) but I don't care (lol).

He likes to hit people after the play is over. Not before the whistle.

 

[fivetwos]

You think he is diving into a pile in a contract year?

He is the perfect player for a Jerry squad….a soft business decision maker. All his toughness comes from his mouth.

No problem though. Didn’t need that high third rounder to build a roster that can eventually win, we will just use free agency as usual.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This is the least of my concerns.......this gets exposed during film sessions
**** it's not what it appears
****he will make adjustements
****if it's a problem that he refuses to correct, we will not give him a contract offer


Note: Some WRs are simple NOT good blockers and that doesn't mean they don't try. They are just not good at it and most coaches will accept that as long as they see legit effort.

 

[Creeper]

WRs don't necessarily need to block on every play. Sometimes they just run a route and take the defender with them.

But I do believe they need to keep Pickens more involved in the game or he will check out. He can be a really good player but let's not pretend he didn't come with baggage. Sometimes it is a challenge to keep 2 good WRs in the game. I wonder what happens if CeeDee keeps getting 11 targets and Pickens 3 or 4.

Oh he’s not the only one. Go look at Tolbert….

I don't at all agree with your assessment of no team pride.

Yeah coming out that game I’m more concerned about his targets as opposed to his blocking. He needs more.

You really claiming that this team pays millions for that as a team standard. Want some 'protected' property in Florida?

 

[HungryLion]

What

 

[Mcsports]

Dallas was inside the Eagle 10 and Pickens gets a huge penalty for trying to rip a players helmet off. Terrible technique.

 

[Cmac]

A bit of a reach. There's only a few WRs in the NFL that get known for blocking. You can see that often in NFL games. Let's be careful. This narrative requires a larger sample size. I'm just glad it was Cee Dee with the drops. Pickens would have required security from this Board.
