The point I was opposing was that Daboll is looking to cut loose TE’s that are not like the ones that NE typically employs (Gronk, Hernandez, Bennett). Versatile pass catching TE’s. Khari Lee is not that. That was my point. Great that Lee had a few receptions, but he is not a guy who is going to stretch the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 O' Leary is a gamer. Period. He won't wow you in practice. He's not going to be on any Youtube videos for high jumps and things like that. But you can bet your ass he's going to make that clutch catch on third and medium. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I think he will make the 53 is because he has actual NFL game experience, and has made key plays in Clay’s absence. Big plays. I like what I have seen from Croom, and to a lesser extent Lee, but I think O’Leary provides experience which has value. Logan Thomas should be gone. Not good at anything, really.

But it's a numbers game. Clay obviously makes team. Khari Lee is our blocking TE and appears to have made roster. And they rave about Croom. If we cut any of those 3, San Diego picks them up instantly IMO. Do we keep 3 or 4 TE's? If we keep 4- Nick has a shot. But he doesn't block well, run well, or do special teams. That doesn't help his cause. May the best 3/4 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his wardrobe to his speed. Nick makes some nice catches but he just has very little speed and moves to escape defenders. Nick’s size hamper him in blocking. I’ve liked having him on the team but if someone is better they need to stay. I think his size is a misconception. He looks small but he isn't. He's the same size as Charles Clay. He's shorter for a tight end, but most guys are 6-4, 6-5...O'Leary is 6-3. His arms are on the shorter size but I think he is fine size wise. You are are right though. He's more of a throwback and isn't going to give you any wow plays. Imo opinion, that's what you need out of your tight end #2. There is no way guys Croom and Thomas are better blockers. Taller and longer yes. I hope O'Leary stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 O'Leary made a really nice back shoulder spinning catch before the TD. The TD was pretty easy for any TE. No one covered him at all and he could see it presnap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only play I can remember Thomas making was that TD in the Tampa Bay game(I believe it was the score to win the game in the end), but other than that nothing....OLeary seems to make a big play almost every game and it always seems to come at a time we really need it, like when the offense has been struggling badly.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 From Cover 1's Studs and Duds: STUDS – TE Nick O’leary Before the game, I wrote about O’Leary’s fall down the depth chart and how he had to do something to recapture his job. Despite playing only in the fourth quarter, with Charles Clay, Khari Lee, Logan Thomas and Jason Croom all seeing time before him, O’Leary showed up big time and did what he could to stay in the competition for a roster spot. The big-bodied TE led the team with four receptions for 70 yards and one TD, showing his usual reliability and sure hands. He isn’t in a good position at this point, with more athletic options playing well ahead of him, but he certainly helped himself yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Leary >>> Chandler. Point is, they would make it work, they always do. I'm not saying he'll be Gronk-like production (ironic 'Gronk' and 'PhD' are used in the same sentence), but a complementary piece. I have heard Gronk and Phd mentioned many times such as "Gronk is really PhuckeD up in the head". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he sticks. As others pointed out, a gamer would have better stats in the last three years....He is buried in the depth chart and that is what he is..if a better backup becomes available then he will be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D521646 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We all have to factor in that TT was his QB all the time he was here. We all know that TT didn't like the middle of the field, so that might explain a little why his stats are skewed. Just sayin. Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just to add to this, I finally got a chance to watch the game...Croom cannot block. He is awful. I understand he hasn't been a tight end very long but it was terrible. Thomas isn't very good either. He seems to be improving. I don't see the fuss about Croom. He's practice squad material imo. Im keeping O'Leary 100% no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Good Luck NO! Tight End Nick O’Leary, the Bills sixth round pick in 2015, was released in today’s final cutdown. O’Leary played 35 games in his three years with Buffalo and caught 22 passes last year – two of them for touchdowns.
