Shockey over olsen?? the hell brah?

[Jackofalltrades]

I'm not putting much, if anything, into this and I'd advise all to take the same approach.

[YoungPanthers89]

olsen>shockey

[Lout]

Keep in mind there are still 3 spots up for grabs, only 50 spots shown here.

Barnidge, Hartsock, Sutton, JJ Jansen, Burney, and some others not shown here.

Kunalic and Santella will not make this team, so they are not being counted.

[Jackofalltrades]

Barnidge not listed?

[CRA]

Shockey over olsen?? the hell brah?

probably a vet/respect thing heading into a season.....I get that.

Plus it gives Cam a weapon to use in preseason.....the main one he will be expected to use outside Smitty most likely.

[jtnc]

Shockey over olsen?? the hell brah?

I'm sure that's what Olsen said to the coach when he saw it. :eek:

[ncbobcat]

Odd that only Shockey and Olsen are listed at TE. Surely we'll carry one more.

[WilkinsonDonnie]

What happened to Duke Robinson?

[weymouthst]

I agree, this seems very preliminary.

[Lout]

Barnidge not listed?

Hopefully he grabs one of the final 3 spots.. but he will probably legitimize the spot if he can take over the long snapping duties.. if he can't then I can't see us keeping both him and JJ Jansen.

[MadHatter]

Very surprised to see Shockey over Olsen.

Also shocked to the Naane behind LaFell.
