He apparently has more upside as a reciever, but he has to improve his catching ability.

He'll probably get signed to the practice squad if he isn't picked up by anyone else.

But his hands were a problem last season and that problem reared it's ugly head this preseason, and until he can become more reliable, he's a liability.

Where was all this love during the preseason/training camp? Nobody came forward in support of Tucker. Nobody even remarked anything about the supposed improvements he made in his route running (I really didn't notice). All we did was bitch at him when he couldn't catch the damn ball.

Well now the invisible man has been cut, and NOW people bitch. I don't get it.

The guy was a rookie last year....I hope he's signed to the PS.

He'd be the 4th receiver, at best.

Bowe
Baldwin
Breaston
Urban/Colbert
Copper/Colbert
Tucker

Tucker might drop a few balls but I don't understand why Urban was kept instead. We're talking the 4th wideout here who can get separation and is a deep wait nevermind Cassel is the qb.

Copper never "gets by". He is and has always been a lock to make the roster in all of Haley's seasons due to his ability on special teams. That's why he's on the roster and why he won't be taken out unless we find a younger player more adept at special teams than he is. His role on the team has never been molded as a 4th WR or go-to guy. He's a veteran who does his job, and sometimes contributes on offense as a blocking WR. If he gets lucky, he will get a few table scraps here and there.

Copper is actually worth something to the team. Therefore, he stays.

Boom! You've just been classic CP response'd. Suck it!

I figured he'd be the the complimentary short yardage banger. I saw no reason to keep Battle after his annual spat of preseason fumbles...

Of course he'll have more yards...Tucker, as of this point, is out of professional football.
