Last preseason game versus the Browns Scheffler was on the field for three snaps! Which by itself is not that amazing in the preseason when you have a competitive position battle, as the Lions do at TE. Or when the coaching staff is protecting a player from injury which seems to be the case with Louis Delmas.
But the interesting side note on Scheffler's lack of playing time is the fact Rookie Fauria has been getting snaps with the first team unit. Plus he has seen his work load increased in the preseason.
Scheffler has been an average player with Detroit and I would say he has never lived up to the billing most Lion fans had hoped for, although that is partially Lion fans fault IMO.
With a tight salary cap and Fauria looking like a huge red zone target is Scheffler expendable? Although most Lion fans think he has trade value in the bargain shopping that is cut down day could the Lions just part ways?
IMO if Fauria looks like he can handle the Scheffler role go with the cheaper younger player!
