No surprise - He or White will be on the PS.  Without the injury last year - he would have been the PS QB - so it is not surprising if he returns to that role.

I'm assuming White unless he thinks he has a better opportunity being another team's PS QB. 

 

Buechele playing the entire game and White sitting to me is more important than how Buechele performed against the players Tampa Bay are also going to cut.

White released. Shane earned the 3 spot.

I'd rather keep Buchyele as the PS 3rd string guy than White. Unless you're worried about someone stealing your PS guy like we did Brian Brohm.

A number of higher profile Punter's have been released. Wouldn't shock me at all if Brad Robbins wasn't released if a Punter they liked more was available:

2. creation of practice squads

I'm old enough to remember when they were called "Taxi squads", so-called because when AAFL teams had a 33 player limit, Paul Brown, coach of the Cleveland Browns, stashed extra guys in Cleveland with non-football jobs.

 

The Browns owner also owned a fleet of taxi cabs. The extra guys were taxied to afternoon practices in the owner's taxis. The extra guys could then be activated as needed.

It’s pretty clear they value holding more than punting.

The expansion of the PS to 16 players including up to 4 with more than 2 years accrued NFL experience has made it so that it benefits teams and players to have a basically one round cut process for the most part. You have a 53 man roster plus 16 PS slots. That's 71 roster spots out of 90. So the final cuts mostly come down to teams keeping their core 53 and then trying to get back 13-14 of those players for the PS and then adding 1-3 more from other teams to round out their PS. 

 

Whereas in the older rule the PS was only 10 players and only 2 or less seasons. So really the camp cuts being staggered through 4 weeks of pre-season made sense as guys needed the chance to move around onto rosters to try to make their 53 or get on the radar for more limited PS slots. Esp vet guys who couldn't get onto the PS. I also felt like in season vet signings were less common so a lot of guys were feeling like you gotta make it in camp or just sit out the season...

 

One less pre-season game and different PS rules make a big difference.

I would like the PS to have slots for protected draft picks thst year or undrafted free agents who entered the draft this spring. They can’t be activisted without clearing waivers and they can’t get plucked.

Robbins' aptitude as a "Holder" for Bass is also relatively unknown.

 

Bass missed most of Training Camp and 2/3 of the Pre-Season. When Bass returned in the Final Pre-Season game, Robbins was out with an illness.

Robbins held for FG in that game though.

For Bass? Each Kicker has a different preference for how the ball is held.

 

And as far as the games go, he held for Ray Davis and Caden Davis. Bass returned for Game 3 and Robbins was out for Game 3.

No chance. I hear Robbins has a notebook handy for all his kicks 😏

I'm 99% he held for Bass in that game and even commented in the game thread about it.

Stonehouse was a great UDFA pickup and a guy I really liked the year we drafted Araiza but he blew out his knee and hasn’t been the same since unfortunately 

[NickelCity]

Robbins has had a steady enough off-season that I imagine this front office will roll with him.

The TV announcers clearly stated that while Robbins did not punt because of illness, he did come in to serve as holder for the field goal attempts.  Another poster also reported this.  Pay attention folks.

OH MY GOD. Cameron Johnston is Sean McDermott moonlighting as an NFL punter. No one will convince me otherwise until I see them both on a football field at the same time.

I feel like I remember the broadcast mentioned that even though he was out with an illness that he was still holding.
