I thought Epps was the best out of the three other TEs for us.
Not much, I know!

 

So does Mrs. Mastrud.

 

His mom?

 

Mastrud also caught a TD pass last night .... goes a long way when cuts come around ....

 

Not always. I remember Ike Holt getting a pick 6 for us in a preseason game and getting cut the next cut down. Of course it was the tail end of his career and he'd have just been a backup for us at best anyway.

I think it depends which one of the two they like best. If Shuler and Mastrud were in a total dead heat, then yes, the TD may have been the deciding factor, but if Shuler was already comfortably ahead, then I think he stays there.
I do not expect either one to make the team tbh. I think we will add a #2 in the next few days.

 

Over who? We never even offered him a contract at the start of training camp.

 

Rocky Dennis?

 

i would not be shocked if mastrud and shuler get cut too, the #2 TE could still not be on the roster

 

fully agree that we'll add a TE from the cuts ... but one of this crew will remain ....

 

I remember Fred Russell getting a kick return for a TD on the last game and we all thought he could be the next big returner for us... but he was cut.

 

Mildly surprised that Epps was cut, as he appeared to be the most competent of the group of non-Fasano TEs.

 

lmao the mask!??

 

Not when your career achievement is catching a preseason TD vs subs. He will be gone.

 

Apparently Tim Dobbins has been cut. I thought this happened like 3 weeks ago

 

Jeff Darlington says S Gerald Alexander & WR John Matthews (who?) got cut.

 

Also says a majority of the cuts will happen tomorrow.

 

Sleep well, bubble people.

 

There's nothing on Gerald Alexander's Twitter to indicate that he was cut. Maybe he doesn't know yet.

 

Hes going to the mall to shop for a new team.

 

well I saw Jed Weaver he looks like could still play wasnt he a good blocking tightend at one time ? i really want miami to trade for a tightend; is there a chance miami could do that.

 

He's the guy in the background taking a nap.



He's the guy kneeling behind the coach vomiting

 

Where did you see Jed Weaver? I did not know he spends much time in Oklahoma.

 

They have Shuler #2 on the depth chart, but Mastrud is the only backup TE to start games this preseason, and he played the most of the 3 last year. We do not see what they do in practice and going by just the games is not going to give a completely accurate picture of how the coaches and Ireland compare them. I like Mastrud because he is an Oregon kid, gotta support my home state, but Shuler is imo a better specimen, he worked out really well before the draft last year, and he does have an NFL pedigree. His old man was pretty good, I think that gives some insight into his upside.

 

Matthews is a white dude.

 

What does Mr Clean give his Mom on Mother's Day, that's what I'm now wondering.

 

How do you find the time??? I mean *seriously*???

 

Nothing.

 

You know, for a guy who was supposedly cut, Gerald Alexander seems pretty mellow on Twitter right now. Maybe he was told he'd be re-signed after week 1?

 

Me too. Where before we kept 5 backs, 3 TEs and 5 Wrs, I think we could keep 2 TEs and 6 WRs, especially if one of the 5 backs is Clay who would give position versatility being able to backup both there and TE. Also if we go with 8 OL, we could keep 7 WRs, including our SNL as a RS.

 

Probably realized that it was a longshot to make the team based on when they signed him.

 

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd welcome McQuistan back, but I'd MUCH rather see him on the team than Colombo.

 

I didn't even know he was on our team this year? I saw him in a Texans uni watching a game a couple of weeks back. Apparently they are really high on him.

Why does it seem like the guys who get cut here have good careers elsewhere?
