McCullers has had his moments and is a long-term prospect. They won't want to subject him to clear waivers, in my opinion.<br />With what I've seen of McCullers, he has a place in this league.<br /><br />Some of the linemen wear braces and some don't. Some guys are comfortable with them, others are not.<br /><br />Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-70065763325739296312014-08-07T13:57:30.388-04:002014-08-07T13:57:30.388-04:00the tight end other will be cutthe tight end other will be cutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-43507623614448138682014-08-07T13:56:33.975-04:002014-08-07T13:56:33.975-04:00Anon at 11:21 AM that was what everyone thought be...Anon at 11:21 AM that was what everyone thought before training camp that's not the case anymore.<br /><br />McCullers had been getting second team reps ahead of Fangupo and is getting first team reps now with McLendon down. It's expected for him to start the preseason game. He's reportedly been giving lineman problems consistently just because of his size.<br /><br />Dale means just 1 will make the practice squad James.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-2279099583911842652014-08-07T12:13:03.735-04:002014-08-07T12:13:03.735-04:00You stated that of the 2 TE's "they appea...You stated that of the 2 TE's "they appear to be seeing which one is going to make the practice squad". Does that mean that the other one makes the squad?

The guy is a major project.<br /><br />We could stash him on the practice squad and be pretty sure no one will take him.<br /><br />We'll see how he does in the preseason but I wouldn't expect too much.

Or is it more of a pecking order thing where Fangupo is getting reps he deserves because he has been around a few years? I worry about losing McCullers if he doesn't make the 53.
