Let’s hope you are correct. I think people overrate our DL talent.

Bro, you won’t hear me argue that. Count me as one of the people who hates the fact that Marinelli doesnt use a true 1 tech to clog the middle.

But I do think Ward has talent. He is just raw. And to marnelli’s credit he knows how to coach up talented DL guys.

Honestly, once they traded for Austin I Figured Switzer was on the block.

I liked Switzer but Austin is a better returner. And this means Beasley stays which is absolutely fine by me.

Some seemed to think it was going to be Beasley and I wasn’t buying that. If it was up to some on this board they would get rid of all our best players. Beasley is our best chain moving receiver.

Switzer didn’t show much as a receiver and other than one good return he didn’t do much as a returner. He was taking too many chances on returns from deep in the end zone, not even getting to the 20 yard line.
Also a lot easier to trade a young player for a young player.

One young prospect for another young prospect. I’m not mad at them.

Watch the Raiders utilize him they way the Cowboys should have. This is a traders regret move.

and watch the cowboys use jihad the way the raiders could have (if he was healthy)....marenelli was very high on this guy and he was very raw...missed one year of development and all of a sudden hes a scrub? come on, this was a good deal

Unless Switzer had surgery then I don’t get it. Jihad. A player named jihad? A bad trade. WTH is going on? Ward? A 2016 3 tech.
