Ryan Switzer to Steelers

Smith-Schuster is the most likely option for the slot when they go with three wide, with Hunter or Washington in the role Bryant played last season.

 

Great .... I bet MB is pissed. You would think he want to come back for cheap

 

The team had needs (KR, PR, back up slot receiver) and addressed them all with one move by trading back one round in next years draft. Is the team better tonight than they were this morning? Time will tell, but it sure looks that way. For a team that is trying to win it all this year, every little edge could make the difference. This trade was a no brainer and a great move. Bravo Colbert.

 

I thin we're long past due relieving AB from punt returns. He's far too valuable as a receiver.Ben and AB go together like glue.

 

The amount of times this needs liked is beyond that lies which beyond necessary.

 

The no return game is league wide not just Steelers.

I see him in NE before all is said and done.

 

I don't see any downside to this trade, but I wonder why he wasn't going to make the cut in Oakland....

 

I did like the forward pitch end around they ran with Henderson against TN - reminded me of so many of his wild runs at Pitt. That's how they beat undefeated Clemson 2 years ago. Alas, the CFL is probably licking their chops when he gets cut on Sunday.

 

I think I get it now.

 

Fat lady has sung, I think it's safe to say they have effectively been cut with this move. Best they can hope for is PS....

1. Brown
2. JuJu
3. Washington
4. Hunter
5. DHB
6. Switzer

 

Nope.

 

Sure looks like it.

 

When I got the update on my phone yesterday I was like WTF, now that I have had time to look at things I am not totally upset with this. This is a lot like the Vance trade last year, right down to the swap in draft picks. Salary wise it is great since he is signed for 3 years basically at peanuts and we can let him go not costing us any dead money. His return skills is his strong suit and imo why we got him here.

With all that said I was hoping Patterson and Henderson would get a crack at a roster spot. What I don't like is now we will have Switzer and DHB taking up 2 roster spots for mainly ST! I know many here are saying Switzer is a slot guy I hope so I just don't like to have 2 guys at a position not having a lot to offer that position.

AB - Juju and Wahington are a nice 1-2-3 but after that Hunter-DHB and Switzer leave me a little worried if one of the first 3 goes down. JMO Welcome aboard Switz

 

They're going with Dwayne Harris

According to Steelers Depot

Thanks. I'm always suspect of guys who are on and off multiple rosters quickly, and guys who are smaller than a 13 year old girl.

 

Return experience and Rogers being put on IR. The tale of the tape will be how he contributes returning in which they are in dire need. Throw in a little slot action and looks at this time to be a solid signing.

 

I don't see the downside of this move. We have gotten absolutely nothing from kick and punt returns in recent memory. Dude just needs to field the ball cleanly and fall forward and we are instantly upgraded there.

 

Not so sure about that, I found this:

He still had a shot to carve out a role as a returner for the Raiders, but returned just three punts in three preseason games for a total of two yards and two fair catches. Fellow offseason addition Griff Whalen had a stronger showing during the preseason, leaving Switzer as the odd man out.

That's interesting cause the link I just posted talked about Whalen as a strong candidate for that. Who knows but hope Switzer does good for us.....
