Welcome to The Terrible Take, a daily segment telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

I'm Ross McCorkle. The Steelers had been looking for a number two wide receiver for months and months,

stating back to even the early portion of the offseason. They finally got one with Mike Williams,

via the New York Jets, but he wasn't the most exciting name compared to what some of the other

AFC contenders added.

But it isn't always about how good a player is overall, but rather how they fit into a system.

For the Steelers, Williams fits in perfectly, and he already started to prove that

with his game-winning touchdown catch against the Washington commanders.

Mike Tomlin told Bob Labriola before the game on the Steelers

website that receivers are more ready than other positions to go, but only in certain situations

with one-dimensional balls. It turns out he was exactly correct with Williams getting that

touchdown in just nine snaps played on his only catch of the game on a go route.

He ran a route that he hadn't practiced yet with the team.

He was late to see the ball was coming, but he was able to adjust and caught it as

Russell Wilson dropped it right in the bucket with his signature moon ball.

Tomlin told the media after the game that they didn't want Williams on the sideline

in the wadiest moments for a big man in a one-on-one situation.

Mike Tomlin often talks about players performing in the big moments, and there was no bigger moment than that third down with just over two minutes remaining while the Steelers were down by six points.

He earned trust from both Tomlin and from

Russell Wilson on that score and likely accelerated his inclusion into the offensive game plan

moving forward with just one play. I would expect a much larger share of the offensive snaps next

week against the Ravens and for that process to continue and before too too long, he will be the bona fide wide receiver two.
