Guy looked very solid out there. He looks like the most fluid TE we had as a number 2 since shockey? He should already be the number 2 TE in my book and what has Manhertz shown over the past year or so to show anything different. At worst he flashed enough to be the Te developmental guy of the future. I like what I saw!

Unless they think Manhertz's blocking ability is a big enough asset (especially considering the Oline), I wouldn't care if they cut him and keep Olsen, Thomas, and Vander Laan who had a nice catch tonight and evidently a good camp overall

I keep reminding myself, it's only one preseason game, but . . .

It looks like we have actual competition for the #2 tight end role this year.  I think Thomas wins that role unless he falls apart in the next month.  Manhertz comes back as our #3 tight end . . . if he's lucky.  Vander Laan didn't look terrible.

The fact that Ian Thomas is making such an immediate impact as a rookie speaks volumes about just how mediocre our competition at TE2 has been since Shockey left. It doesn't paint a pretty picture when you realize how long it's been since Shockey last suited up here.

Fully agree. Our number 2 TE has largely just been a roster spot for the most part.

I think that might be exactly what happens.

Thomas just looks like a player. He’s got “it” and I expect he’ll be getting regular snaps all year. By the amount of snaps he’s getting (even though there aren’t many TEs) he is gonna get fast tracked this preseason. Same with Samuel. I think they play these guys a ton now and it pays off during the season.

Dickson was definitely an above average #2 TE for us the entire time he was here. There's a reason the guy got interest from several teams as a starter this year and the Hawks signed him to be their guy after letting Willson and Graham walk...

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
