Maybe not to the degree that you were shouting for, but the signing of Erik Swoope from the Colts to a 1 year deal is still an answer of sorts none the less.The 6’4, 255lb Swoope was an undrafted free agent signing by the Colts who managed to stick around with the team for 4 years until the end of 2018. He appeared in 24 regular season games for the Colts and has 23 receptions for 384 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was a project signing from the beginning though and actually had appeared to be coming into his own in 2016 when he started 4 games for the Colts and had 15 of his 23 receptions for 297 yards. That was an impressive 19.8 yards per reception https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , though he only had one touchdown. Unfortunately he missed the 2017 season and was back to being relegated to spot duty in 2018 where he caught 8 of his 10 targets for 87 yards in 7 games for the Colts. On the bright side, 3 of those 8 catches were for touchdowns. He was released mid season and claimed by the Saints but New Orleans cut him the next day after failing his physical.Erik Swoope enters a crowded tight end group battling to replace Jared Cook for the Raiders. He joins Luke Willson who was signed this off-season, converted WR Darren Waller who impressed in minimal opportunities in 2018 for Oakland, and tight end Foster Moreau who was drafted in the 4th round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The position is probably the most unsettled spot on the whole team with all of these players having a chance to win the competition to be starter.For those that scoff at the idea of Erik Swoope winning the battle this training camp, this is what Rotoworld had to say about the Raiders new signing.Let the competition begin!This stat perfectly sums up Raiders bipolar first half vs second half in their first two games You know those memes where you take those Rob Lowe commercials and say “Hi, I’m Rob Lowe with DirecTV... and I’m Rob Lowe with cable”? You could do that with the Raiders in the first half vs the Raiders in the second half.This stat from resident Raiders stat man Josh Dubow of the Associate Press sums it up pretty nicely:Top ten in scoring differential in the first half and dead last in the second. That’s a good way to go 0-2.
