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.

I agree though Pope for Cottam is the choice.

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

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. |
