YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This has been surmised but Rex sounds like it's pink slip time for our 6th round "steal" @mikerodak: Rex asked if Nick O'Leary has done enough to make the team. "I don't know," he responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 There are some TE needy teams like the Redskins who could pick him up off waivers before we can sign him to the PS. It sucks because he might just be a guy who needs time to adjust to the NFL. But, thems the breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Agreed...it looks like practice squad to me...... In past years O'Leary probably makes this team because our TE's are so aweful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I am pleasantly surprised by the development of Chris Gragg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I think Gragg is the upward mover of camp and the more they trot Mulligan out with the first team O the more I think he is a lock too as a specialist blocker. The question then becomes a place for Gray as a 4th guy or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question then becomes a place for Gray as a 4th guy or not?Sal has mentioned that they have been using Gray a ton in different formations and he's a prototypical backup to Clay in the Hback role. I think he's the clear number 2 when you look at body of work despite his penalty, etc vs Cleveland. Edited August 25, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is a bit like the Hogan vs Goodwin debate. If Clay goes down who would be the best backup for him to play a lot of snaps - probably Gray. However, who is the best complimentary piece - probably Gragg. And I am all but certain they are keeping Mulligan at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 is Mulligan a lock as they think they can use the guy on the line if needed? yep. Mulligan sounds like a lock for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 6th round picks are prime practice squad candidates. O'Leary needs time to figure out the NFL game, a year on the practice squad could do him good and then he can come into camp next year pushing for a spot. Good sign that the talent already on the roster made it hard for an incoming 6th round pick to get a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear most of camp our TE's have been underwhelming , it sounds like O'Leary just isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mulligan's two penalties on Cassel's first drive last week irritated me but maybe that was just nerves. The coaches do seem to like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I am totally up for an NFL rule that allows teams to pass a few players right to the practice squad. I know this is not fair to the players but it would actually be better for many of them. With PS's now 10 players it would be nice to have 3 designated as something between PS and the active 53.

Doesn't matter anyway. Any team cam sign another team's PS player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
