Ben Roethlisberger On Slow Start For Tight Ends: ‘They’re Gonna Get Their Balls And Their Touchdowns For Sure’

Through the first two games of the 2020 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers passing game has targeted the tight end position 11 times, retrieving six receptions for 67 yards. Newcomer Eric Ebron has four of those receptions on seven targets for 61 yards, while Vance McDonald has six yards on two receptions via four targets.

They are paying both of these men to be multi-talented athletes capable of both contributing in the blocking department and as targets in the passing game, but so far they haven’t gotten a whole lot out of either one of them, all things considered, and that has led some in the media to begin to question what the plan is.
