ESPN - The Steelers may deactivate wide receiver Limas Sweed over his propensity to drop passes.
"Absolutely," Tomlin said Tuesday when asked if he was considering benching Sweed in favor of veteran Shaun McDonald.
Sweed dropped a pass in the end zone in the third quarter on Sunday.
"Quite frankly, he's not catching the football when he's deep down the field," Tomlin said. "He's got some tape that shows that. He's got to shake that off. If and when he's given his next opportunity to make a similar play, he better make it."
Can't blame them for this move. For whateva reason, Sweed has been crap so far ths season and is getting outplay to the fullest by rookie WR Mike Wallace. That's how you play the game. Know your plays and do what you have to in order to catch the ball to help your team win games. Anytime a rookie is outplaying a second year guy like that something is greatly wrong with the picture.
