Our TE's had 5 catches for 98 yards this past game. They aren't stars, but make them part of the game plan, as they finally did Sunday, and they can be positive contributors to the offense.
Im not against making them part of the game plan. I just don't think we need Swaim out there as a constant . He's not a good enough receiver to be a constant in a passing attack. He's a run support and a checkdown receiver not an every snap player . He's not a weapon and we have better weapons that need to be involved more
Get him off the field on 3rd downs because he doesn't have the abilities to impact the game as a receiver. He's caught 2 lucky breaks on a couple of 3 yard checkdown passes when left uncovered but everything else has been subpar!!!
He's not the everydown version of 82 in his prime. Heck he's not even the washed up version of 82 lately.
We won't win 6 games with him as a constant in our passing offense. Swaim is not an everydown player. He's just a 2nd stringer on any other team besides the Cowboys.
His constant is only keeping better receiving personnel from rotation and keeping our easy to defense 3rd down formations the same.
We have the lowest 3rd down conversion rate in the league. At some point you have to ask yourself if he is a good enough receiver to move the chains, get the yards and the scores and carry the load as a receiver?
My eyes and the stats say he has no deep ball or big play capabilities to warrant all that involvement. Rico is a better option at te on passing downs then Swaim. We need more Rico, tavon, or rb then we need Swaims overinvolvement
