O'Leary did make some plays. I'm sure cutting him wasn't an easy decision. 

 

Croom got hurt last camp though if I recall, and Lee was already being utilized as our blocking TE with success. So I see how it all came together here. Maybe O'Leary should have stayed over Thomas but they must believe in Thomas and his measurables.

I thought Thomas out-performed O’Leary this offseason/preseason. 

 

Plus I guess he is excellent in the meeting room & on the sidelines. There was just an article on it recently.  Check it out -

When any member of the Buffalo Bills tight end group has a question about new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's complex system, they go to Logan Thomas.

 

"Logan still sees things as a quarterback," said Bills starting tight end Charles Clay. "So as far as coverages and reading defenses go, Logan, he's in tune, and he sees it probably quicker than just about anybody else."

Croom has played well throughout camp and has some experts giving him a chance to make the team. The second-year tight end credits Thomas for helping him understand his responsibilities and has taken some elements of the veteran's game and added it to his own.

 

Thomas said that his deep knowledge of football comes from having to know what everyone is doing on the field at all times for so many years.

 

"If you can just pick out some small things that will help you tremendously. Like location of linebackers and location of safeties - it lets you play faster and lets you get to you spots," Thomas said.

Lee is more of a blocking tight end but has shown flashes of his ability to catch the football during the Bills' two preseason games. He attributes some of his success to Thomas.

 

"He knows what types of pressures are coming:he knows when we're breaking hot; he knows when they're bringing stunts," Lee said. "He has a book of knowledge."
