Nick O'Leary Possibly on the Bubble with Jason Croom Emerging - Jack's Grandson Released

[Wayne Cubed]

To be honest, of the guys on the bubbles for the TE group, he’s been the most “meh”. Logan Thomas was a beast blocking and looked really good receiving in the last preseason game. And Croom and Lee have looked really good too.

It is real odd to see an ex-QB described as a beast blocking.

This is great news for Nick given Joe B's record of prognostication.

 

Not this time.

"....and here is Croom, who is dating the boss' daughter".  Problem solved.

The Patriots currently have just three receivers on their initial roster -- Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsettand Cordarrelle Patterson.

 

 

[Mike in Horseheads]

I guess they think Logan Thomas is the best QB on the roster?

I can see him becoming a big LA Lakers fan like his gramps. 

Makes sense since if already in Hollywood he can follow in his uncle's footsteps and become a Chinese marital arts film star.

I am a big Croom fan but I am still sad about Nick. Hope he bounces back somewhere like Indy.

They don't need him. 

They'll do it out of spite.

Spite? Nope.  They will do what's in their best interest with the goal of winning.  I don't think O'Leary helps them toward that end. 

[MrEpsYtown]

Oh well. I liked O'Leary. I still don't like the way Croom and Thomas block, but I can't deny Croom's potential as a receiver. I still think Thomas can be good eventually. I think I would have kept OLeary over Lee, but it's all good.

I hated hearing how he was that guys grandson over and over and over and over.

On what planet is Lee better than O’Leary?

The one where a fridge is left unplugged.

Look on the bright side: we won't have to hear the Jack Nicklaus reference every game this year.

I liked O'Leary, also.  All he did was come up with catches when called upon to do so.  He will be on another team soon enough.

I could see him landing in Miami.    Their TEs are  not exactly Murders Row:

• Mike Gesicki
• Durham Smythe
• MarQueis Gray
• A.J. Derby

Nick played college ball in the state and Grampa Jack is a season ticket holder, so there's intangibles as well...

Now we can hear about how Croom is banging the owner's daughter!

[BigDingus]

O'Leary wasn't spectacular, but he's reliable in actual games...

Who cares who looked better in preseason....Rather have someone as consistent and steady as Nick on the team than a bunch of unknowns who looked nice in camp & preseason.
