Correct!

After the Cowboys get a decent lead I expect Jalen Brooks to get some snaps.

This is early, I know. I count 4 that should contribute and play in the 1st game of the season.
1. Mazi Smith
2. Luke Schoonmaker
3. Overshown
4. Deuce Vaughn

100%. I'm happy with all of them, but in the brief time I saw Overshown I was pretty impressed. He's gonna live up to the reputation he came in with.

I hope that Brooks has a good game in Seattle. He's a player. It will be awesome if they hit on Brooks, Stephens, and Bass. Having those late round and undrafted guys hit helps them bigtime with the salary cap.

Schoon will see more than five snaps. He’s a very good blocker.

Blocking is very tough for rookies to pick up... part of it's strength and part of it is knowing assignments. Ferguson is looking locked in as the TE1, and I think Hendershot's experience will earn him the nod at TE2.

Mazi will start by default. Overshown looks ready to get mixed in, and Deuce will probably get some plays. I doubt Schoon sees more than like 5 snaps.
I think Schoonmaker will see a lot of snaps. They will have a lot of 2 and 3 tight end sets.

out of all the listed rookies i think Shoon has the hardest path to snaps. I still think he will be good I'm just not sure how he gets alot of touches with the playmakers we can have the field at times..

I think that Stephens might be a better version of Hendershot. We will see how that develops. McKeon might make the team. He can be used as a fullback and plays special teams.

He has some impressive blocks on Saturday, and Hendershot is more of a pass catcher than a blocker.

I agree that Ferguson is locked in as the TE1.

Go watch Schoonmaker on the long run by Deuce. That's a good example of what you will get with him.

That awkward moment when someone thinks the "predicted" win total they saw means jack squat.

Too funny
Well nothing like pre season to call your shot, best of both worlds for you, if your right you can come back and gloat and if your wrong you'll disappear back to the packer board where i guess its so boring you need to come here to talk football....

When I get a few mins to kill, I post on several different teams fan forums. Nothing special about this forum. Sorry to burst your bubble.
