DaMeatTroughsEgo Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm assuming Buckley made it because he can be a valuable practice guy who can throw it/run it/catch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patro Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Because Wolfe didn't do **** in preseason. Strickland did.Over the preseason:Strickland - 5 catches for 44 yards.Wolfe - 3 catches for 55 yards.The only reasonable explanation is that Strickland had better practices than Wolfe. They had similar stats over the preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he knows the playbook better since he was on the team for part of last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he knows the playbook better since he was on the team for part of last year?...and were he did display all of those attributes? Most probably on practice, because on the field they showed me the same. Edited September 5, 2010 by Patro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) I expected Valdez because he really earned it.I guessed on Nance and WoodsThomas D. kinda let it slip on BushStrickland over Bergeron is a surprise. Maybe Bergeron is no longer eligible, or they figure he had enough chances.Buckley surpriseStephens over Lucas a little surprise didn't get much on either during preseason.If I had thought it through, but I didn't, Agnone because they are kinda thin at TE Edited September 5, 2010 by delaigle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmite Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Buckley is a real surprise to me.I'm glad we didn't have to cut any of our draft picks this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor430 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 We still have Bear and Nance... now, cut that little f'r named Antone Smith and bring one of these guys up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had similar stats over the preseason.what i see is more yards with less catches which means he gets down field. buckley had 2 catches for 16 yards. i'm fine with strickland, but why the hill did we sign suckley over wolfe, was he picked up?

That's honestly the biggest surprise to me out of everything that's happened so far with the overall roster.The only thing I can figure is that maybe we'll be cutting Buckley after Week 1 and replacing him with whoever gets cut to make room for Babineaux's return...

JayAdams Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Just a note: Bergeron was not eligible for the practice squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millenium falcon Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 i did'nt even want bergeron on the PS.i think agnone is a waste on the PS and i think wolfe should have been signed over buckley. the rest i liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
