ACO Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Poor Switz. Steelers are loaded in WRs. Can't be ideal for him. Or maybe less pressure makes him sneaky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I am like...huh???? What are the Raiders trying to do??? They really must want to run, run, run, and then run some more. As for the Steelers, they have AB, JuJu, Washington, Rogers, Hunter, and now Switz. I believe Hunter will be cut. I mean thats too many receivers to have for someone not to be cut.

RaidersAreOne Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Noooooo. I loved me some Switz. He is a good guy and a viable slot/STer. However with Grif Whalen having an awesome camp and PS it appeared one would be gone. I wonder what we got for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Are the steelers trying to keep AB from returning punts this year? I would think that the Steelers are more interested in Switzer the returner than Switzer the wide receiver, though maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our slot guys were the ever inspiring group of Eli Rogers(coming off an ACL tear and a looming suspension), Marcus Tucker, Damoun Patterson, and Justin Thomas. Not much to write home about.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this why you guys drafted James Washington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Washington will be an outside guy. He's built like a slot guy but his skill is definitely an outside/field stretcher type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 5th round seems steep. This guy better be our starter in the slot for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 How much will this impact the chemistry of the locker room when he starts poaching Brown's targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Sad about this. We gave the steelers a 6th too so not like it was a steal of a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I cant believe Switzer didnt beat out journeymen Dwayne Harris and Griff Whalen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLambert58 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I was initially confused by this trade also. Turns out, he's a capable, sometimes dangerous punt returner. He can also return kicks. This is going to be his main value with the team. They haven't had a decent option outside of Antonio Brown at PR (and KR, for that matter) for years. Hoping he performs as advertised.
