Did anyone else notice that McDermott was cut? I guess I'm late to the party here.

Three LS in three years... and KMcD didn't miss a snap last year. Not sure what to make of that.

WTF? Is this a money move?

Since McDermott was cut, you'd think that Nelson has to be making the roster.

No, probably a "Kyle Nelson can play tight end and special teams as well as snap the ball" move. I understand, still I am of the viewpoint that if ain't broke, don't fix it. A bad snapper can be a nightmare.

I disagree. I'd rather have an instinctive, athletic backup who will improve with experience than a guy with bad instincts who is physically incapable of making plays.

I thought his name was James??

It's his middle name but also goes by L.J. Guess he can't make up his mind LOL.

Yep, not a one trick pony. I think he'll be the 3rd TE. Carrier might be cut too.

The reality is that they don't have anyone that knows the defense the way Dahl does and I'm sure that Fangio isn't lost on that fact. I like McCray and think he has good potential, better than Spillman to be a contributor on defense down the road, but that's down the road and not here and now.
