    Cole Beasley's concussion puts the spotlight on Ryan Switzer

    Cole Beasley is Dak Prescott's security blanket. He is the receiver that the Dallas Cowboys turn to when they absolutely need to get a first down or just pick up some yardage. He has Prescott's trust, something that cannot be replicated over night.
    somebody else is going to have to step into that role. The expectation is that Ryan Switzer will be that player,Authentic Tuukka Rask jersey,But with Beasley suffering a concussion against the Washington Redskins and a shootout with the Kansas City Chiefs looming,Authentic Brad Marchand jersey, but he hasn't done much of anything to indicate that he's ready for that yet.
    but on Sunday,Switzer has caught two passes this season. He has fewer receiving yards than fullback Keith Smith. He missed a ton of important developmental time due to a hamstring injury in training camp. Switzer is still picking up the finer points of the offense,adidas Jack Eichel jersey, he could be pressed into a role even bigger than Beasley's.
    That is because Ezekiel Elliott could be serving the first game of his six-game suspension. Without the typical strength of their running game and their primary slot receiver,Authentic Johnny Gaudreau jersey, the Cowboys are going to have to look elsewhere for offensive production.
    and at that point,Authentic Sean Monahan jersey, the game becomes as mentally challenging as it is physically. In Switzer's case,That pressure isn't going to be helpful for a rookie still finding his way in the league. One big drop early in the game could turn the crowd against him,adidas Jordan Staal jersey, it might already be.
    expecting him to come in and immediately be a Beasley clone. But he was a fourth round pick,Fans built unrealistic expectations for Switzer the moment he was drafted, and most fourth round picks don't even stick in the NFL much less turn into high-end starters. Beasley thriving as an undrafted free agent is not the rule. It was an exception.
    like most rookies,But that exception set Cowboys fans up to believe that any remotely similar player would follow the exact same career path. That just isn't the case. Switzer, needs time to develop and grow into the player he will one day be. Throwing him into the spotlight against a marquee opponent and expecting him to immediately play like a star does a lot more harm than good.
    So keep expectations realistic, but if he doesn't break out immediately, Cowboys fans. Switzer will get the opportunity to prove himself against the Chiefs, don't lose faith in him altogether. He is a rookie fourth round pick. Treat him like a rookie fourth round pick,adidas Tuukka Rask jersey,adidas Brad Marchand jersey, not the second coming of Beasley.
