News: ST: Dallas Cowboys kick returner Ryan Switzer named to all-rookie team

HungryLion · Jan 16, 2018

As crazy as the award seems. I do think Switzer can be a good return man for the team.

He played fairly well for a rookie. He just had a few bonehead decisions. If he cuts that out, he can be good.

For what? One TD return?

And that came on a punt. He didn't get the nod for punt returns.

Would have rather seen him as an all rookie slot/utility player but Linny and JG are still sitting around the office trying to figure that one out as well!

He had a sweet TD return, but cost us field position multiple times. I really hope his second season is better.

IKR? It would be nice if Taco was on it...

I checked, and checked again, to see if they somehow left Taco off the list. Must have been a typo.

Yup.

Seriously, you guys don't seem to understand punt returning. 1-2 TD's are generally high.

Looking down the list for 2015, there was one PR who had 2 TD's returning punts. And there were only 9 returners who had 1 TD.

In 2016 there were only 3 guys who had 2 TD's returning punts.

That is facts adjusting a way of thinking.

Well he was

3rd in the NFL in kick return average

12th in the NFL in punt return average

Didn't seem like a great year for returners...and it's much harder to return kicks now compared to in the past...but relatively speaking, he was one of the better return guys out there.

Shhh! You said the first positive thing in this thread. Now go hang yourself! Dilly. Dilly.

Kind of like Jaylon Smith getting player of the week for 3 tackles.

Unreal

In all honesty, our blocking was garbage and I’d blame the special teams coach before I blame him.

His return showed he was pretty damn nifty when the blocking was somewhat decent.

We’ve had issues with our returners for years, so I’d start with the coach.

Jeffkills · Jan 17, 2018

Huh?!?

Switzer is slow as hell, and it seems like he almost never creates...

I’d rather have .75% healthy dread-head Harris...

Seriously, seems like he’s running about a mid-6 40, all while he’s returning straight into darkness...

He wouldn't be the first Cowboy for whom fans had unrealistic expectations.

noshame · Jan 17, 2018

Well I don't really care about the kicking garbage but I would have loved to have seen him more at wide receiver

Bleu Star · Jan 17, 2018

As much as he frustrated me this year and made me roll my eyes at this thread, I have to take some of my own medicine. Just as I have said our impatient population should give Dak and Jaylon the customary 3 years on the field, I must also do the same with Switzer. He was chosen for a reason. Hopefully he starts to show more meaningful flashes next year.

Go compare his numbers to Harris as a return guy

That's pretty close to what I was going to say!!!

Harris is slow for a PR. Very average.

Switzer had a slow start. He had several nice returns thereafter.

Hard to believe someone didn't think he showed flashes. PR for a TD and several other good returns. He showed more than flashes.

Switzer has enough quicks to be a good return guy, and he showed in Week 17 that he can play at a Beasley level on offense. He just needs to cut out the stupid fair catch decisions and he'll be a good player.

The NFL must be going to a system like peewee everyone gets a trophy all about participating.

Don't let James Harrison hear you, he made his son turn his back in.

Considering he had some really bone headed plays as a returner, maybe he wasn’t ready for a bigger role in the offense
