Sanders still has it

Post by The Riddle of Steel » Fri Nov 01, 2019 3:25 pm

Had 7 catches for 112 yards and TD last night. For the season he has 41 catches for 504 yards and 4 TDs. That would make him the best WR on the Steelers this year. Keep in mind he was playing for a shitty Broncos team lead by Joe Flacco too.

We could have had him back.

And put Switz on the bench?? Blasphemy.

When you have an Edelman like weapon you find ways to use him.

Sanders had terrible chemistry with Roetlhlisberger.

No one will ever know why but for as many big plays Sanders had when he played for the Steelers, he seemingly had just as many big fuck ups.

Dude might have been great with Rudolph though I guess.

Unfortunately for me Jobu I've reached my monthly limit [6] and not about to pay for that site. I'll take your word for it. ;)

I have also 77, but somehow I was able to access that article. Here’s part of it...

Like the rest of the country, Ryan Switzer was watching the 2018 Super Bowl, with New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman catching pass after pass from Tom Brady on his way to MVP honors. What separated him from more than 98 million other Americans is that Switzer was on the receiving end of a text message from Ben Roethlisberger:

“Why can't we do this?”

Boy, if that doesn’t raise the bar for the 5-foot-8, 178-pound Switzer in his second season and first training camp with the Steelers.

Switzer looks enough like Edelman (5-10, 200) and figures to play the same position in Pittsburgh, a small but shifty safety valve working out of the slot. The Steelers traded for him late last August, sending a fifth-round pick back to the Oakland Raiders. North Carolina’s all-time leader in catches and receiving yards figured out his new system quickly enough to grab 36 of 44 targets for 253 yards and a touchdown, and with Antonio Brown gone, JuJu Smith-Schuster is the only Steelers receiver who was more productive last year in Pittsburgh.

“I just think he’s got the abilities to do that,” Roethlisberger said of his lofty challenge on Super Bowl Sunday. “I mean, that’s high praise, because Edelman’s a really good receiver. Obviously, he’s been doing it for a while and everything, but I believe [Switzer] can do that, too.”

Well I guess we could assume swindler would likely have made some plays this season if Ben weren't hurt. That said, why wasn't swindler on fire in game one? Especially to show up the cheats in their house. Why was swindler just piece of shitted? Dropping passes that were hitting him square in the chest. Man that was a really challenging game to watch. Emotions in full rage!

With Sanders' quote about how Colbert treated him during contract time, I doubt he'd ever consider Pitt as an option again.

Hope Ben stopped doing meth not long after that article was written.

It’s bad for his health.

No, he was just misused. They had AB, so they tried to turn Sanders into an X (for some reason, in PIT, receivers not named Antonio Brown are purely and exclusively either an X, Y or Z....doesn't matter if the "X" can run more than 2 routes - the X is going to run 2 routes).

Ben comes back, Tomlin doesn't = CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
