Is Hollister injured lately, or is that the other Hollister?I am a bit surprised how one-sided the poll is thus far.
After the first preseason game most fans and media members had Hollister listed in their roster projections.
Perhaps it is a case study in how recent events hold so much more weight than something further in the past, even if in this case the difference was just nine days.
I have not seen any reports of TE Jacob Hollister being injured. WR Cody Hollister missed some time early in camp with some sort of leg ailment, but did play last week.Is Hollister injured lately, or is that the other Hollister?
I see absolutely no reason why he couldn't make his way through to the practice squad, but that's obviously just one guy's opinion. I think he's another case of a guy catching passes in the preseason who has been greatly overrated. While he may have potential, I don't know if he's the kind of guy who's catching the eye of the other 31 teams.
I just think O'S is more polished in terms of experience and blocking. He also seemed to have a solid showing in the joint practices and HOU game in terms of pass catching ability. As we know, he offers ST value, too.I have not seen any reports of TE Jacob Hollister being injured.

Jacob Hollister got extended time in the first preseason game, creating a buzz. In the second game against Houston it was simply O'Shaugnessy's turn to get more reps (Hollister did get in for some plays later as well).
If I recall correctly, O'Shaugnessy was a special teams standout and that was part of the appeal that led to the Pats trading for him.I just think O'S is more polished in terms of experience and blocking.

Hollister, like Carr, had a good game in week one, but seems to lack blocking ability and is quite raw. I think he'd really have to show the coaches something special in terms of his receiving to be considered, but of course there are still 2 games to be played, so only time will tell.

I don't know if the fact that the Patriots traded a late draft pick for one of the players factors in. Greg Lewis and Alex Smith are a couple examples in that category that never made it on to the 53-man roster.Or it's that the Patriots traded a draft pick for the guy, and he plays on ST, and the other two guys are UDFAs.
$4.5 million is guaranteed, $500k is non-guaranteed roster bonuses. He'd be at risk if he were the 4th best tight end or some major locker room problem, but so far all I'm seeing is that some people are concerned that he may only be an average #2 and not an elite #2.Is Dwayne Allen really a "lock"? Would his release be too much of a negative on the salary cap? Just a question. Not saying I think he'll be cut.

There would be $4,500,000 in dead money on the Patriots' salary cap.Is Dwayne Allen really a "lock"? Would his release be too much of a negative on the salary cap? Just a question. Not saying I think he'll be cut.
