Sean Ryan can obviously catch a pass. O'Connell hasn't show much. And Cottam is supposed to be the blocking TE but he's softer than Philadelphia cream cheese.

Pope replacing Cottam would be the obvious move, IMO.

O'Connell has had a lower leg inj he played through some and sit out some since mid camp. I think they would IR him like they did with Brown.

Actually he compares to Cottam as a very tall TE who has trouble getting low enough to block.

That's what I thought as well but I also don't think they'd have a hard time slipping O'Connell through waivers and on to the practice squad.

He has trouble getting low at 6'3?

Good thing we gave up a couple of sevens for him!

I think out of any of the young bucks, Cottam has taken to the tough coaching the worst. O'Connell doesn't seem like a inline TE, more of a motion TE/Hback.

I agree though Pope for Cottam is the choice.

yea really. I think his college teamate at Miami of Ohio and fellow KC rookie TE Tom Crabtree out performed him.

That's pretty much what I expected of O'Connell: H-back type of guy.

I never expected anything from Cottam. He's too tall and he only caught 21 passes in four years at Tennessee.

Yeah. Not sure where the comparison came from. Cottam is 6'7" and O'Connell is 6'3".

I think Herm and Carl brought Cottam in cause he ran a nice 40 for a guy his size and they thought they could use him in the passing game. Haley saw him line up a couple of times and KNEW that idea was stupid, so he tried to get him to block, because he was supposed to be good at it coming out of college.

Cottam just isn't very tough. Combined with the fact that he doesn't really have good technique either and he's just not a great blocker.

In many ways, he is the prototypical Carl draft pick. A receiving TE in a blocking TE's body, but not athletically gifted enough to do EITHER.
