Jesse James
- Thread starter blion72
- Start date
He plays in a 2 TE set, but honestly MacDonald is a better TE. JJ has regressed this year. Every catch he looks like he is going to drop. MacDonald is a athletic freak, he makes some ridiculous catches for a TE and who can forget his stiff arm vs Conte.
McDonald has a lot more moments. Not sure what game you watch.
I like JJ, but as a Steeler fan they aren’t even close this year.
Yes, at this point McDonald is clearly the Steelers #1 TE. Guy makes some great plays, much more athletic then James. That being said, I'm glad Jessie still has a clearly defined role with the team and did catch a TD recently.
JJ def has a role, but he isn’t going to get the targets he had in the past with the emergence of VM.
He has had 7 targets in last 4 games, one has been in the red zone which was the TD vs Carolina.
Bad news is he only saw action on 40% of the offensive snaps yesterday.
Like I said, the emergence of VM who is much more athletic and physical then JJ has led to less and less of JJ.
