Michael Egnew Got waived today.
Discuss.
Philbin hated him, I know that for sure. I also know they attempted to trade him, but got no takers.

Damn. I'm surprised. I really thought he'd make it because of his having gotten things turned around as a blocker.
It's interesting they did this so early. Maybe that's as a favor to the player so he can try and catch onto another team.eltos_lightfoot and Hiruma78 like this. -
I cant say I am surprised .He was on my cut list.A real tweener in the true sense of the word.I really though his name was going to come up as one on the bullied list during the bullying scandal.
On the downside I cant have fun with the Eggnog nickname I gave him during xmas time anymore.:cry: -
Bubble guy, no biggy. I don't expect any surprises in these cuts.

Jeff Ireland ladies and gentlemen.
Passed on Jimmy Graham in the 3rd round.
Took Egnew in the 3rd round a few years later.
And this man had defenders......Larry Little, Zippy, eltos_lightfoot and 6 others like this. -
Wow. So it begins. Always hoped he'd turn it around and do some things for us.

I would tend to think there's a story behind this. He wasn't particularly far down the depth chart, and it isn't a cutdown.

Will be interested to see how he does with another team, as it will reveal some things about our coaching staff. -

Whatever evaluation method Ireland was using graded Graham as a 4th round pick, Egnew as a 3rd. Obviously those evaluations were wrong.
When you get fired because you fail to pick good players it's only natural to look at the good players you might have had with better evaluationjdang307 likes this. -
Oh.....Now I know who Adam Shefter's source with the Dolphins is. What a ****ing hack. "League Source" my balls.

Quite unfortunate for a 3rd rd draft pick at a position where there was plenty of chances to be had. :/

Jets or Pats gunna pick him up....and he'll torch us

It is a little bit of Irelandish move, cutting an experienced player to keep inexperienced players.

I've been expecting this for a few years now, just because he's never been a complete-enough player at TE. While some may say that he has great intangibles, it's still hard to make a squad when you're struggling with blocks and you drop a bunch of passes. At the end of the day, those are the two most important "intangibles" and he couldn't deliver them consistently.
-
On the one hand it makes perfect sense. You're drafted to be an athletic receiving tight end, and you don't look compelling as an athletic receiving tight end. The entire thesis behind your being drafted has been rendered null and void. Doesn't matter that you turned around and became a decent blocker after all.
On the other hand I still have trouble believing the dude presents no value in the passing game with as athletic as he is, as good hands as he has, etc. I mean, you've got to be a ****ing tragic route runner if that's the case, because tight end routes are NOT EXACTLY complicated.Hiruma78, Bpk, DPlus47 and 1 other person like this. -
I have a feeling he will find success in another team, I don't think we utilize our tight ends much... Clay is hardly a tight end... a guy that does most of his work on the boundary... So if he succeeds elsewhere... it might sting at first but at the same time, it doesn't seem like that's part of the Philbin system... Philbin/Lazor is all about having as many good receivers as possible and we have 5 very good ones... and Binns looks solid as well..

The complaint I always got about him was that he was less than attentive and was never the hardest worker. He was the anti-Clay. (Who happens to be a Philbin Fav)toto likes this. -

Don't ever believe the "official" times at the Combine:
A) There's nothing official about them. Literally not a single team in the NFL uses them.
B) The methodology is full of holes rendering the claim that they're free of human imperfections to be bullsh-t.
C) The "official" times are completely incomparable to all times you've generally heard about from 1980 to 2011. -
