Hope the doctors concur with Cooks' assessment.

As for Dez Bryant, I wasn't pushing for us to sign him, but I will say this... I'd take him over Antonio Brown! That dude has imploded (see his recent Tweets).

They're sending Hager to the IR....

I would bring up to fill that open spot with either Simba Webster or Dakota Allen....

both Allen and Webster can fill the ST role and give some playing time for Mike Thomas...

Really hoping Mike Thomas gets a shot. 1 career start, 3 catches (4 targets) 75 yards with Mannion at the helm...

Fully concur. And as DB opined, Thomas needs some reps. ESP in 4 WR sets. Put him and Reynolds on one side, Kupp and Woods on the other - and that’s gonna be a match up problem for Pitt. Can go ace back with Gurley or DH motioning to trips/empty. There are all kinds of problems you can create from that.

Personally I think we are not going to see any four WR sets...

We see more 12 and 13 using the TEs against Steelers defense...
To give more protection for Goff and to assist the O-line to open up more holes for our RBs...

Oh I am sure you’re right. But, ya never know. Maybe a wrinkle here and there. Thomas won’t see offensive snaps otherwise.

Maybe it's "Gurley time"? It's the 2nd half of the season. He's been rested considerably through the first 8 games. The OL has had 2 weeks of practice to hone things. Pittsburgh is #16 vs the run (107.5 ypg) and #10 vs the pass (228.0 ypg). They are #13 in scoring (21.1 PPG). I know the philosophy of many offensive people is "points come out of the passing game" and that will be fine if we can get the run game going. It would lessen the loss of Cooks.

If what's really going on is just due to the pitch count, yeah, I think its time to unleash Gurley. We will see if there really is something to Gurley's condition in the second half of the season. We're getting to the point where all games are crucial.
