...Michael Mayer. We couldn't cover him and then when he made the catch we couldn't tackle him. Defenders bounced off him like they were Pop Warner players.
Swanson's only had a couple decent catches but both went for decent gains (a couple of first downs) and in both cases a safety was there to close in quickly and he just shrugged them off and went for extra yards. We should start putting him in on 3rd downs. We have a tendency to throw short on 3rd downs and then the receiver can't get any YAC and is brought to the ground by the first tackler. Swanson would punish the first would-be tackler and go for extra yards. Might extend a drive or two in the game.
