YoloinOhio Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) What do we know about him?polarizing player in Cincy. He was beloved by half the fans as a respected vet and "hated" by the other half because they thought he wasn't that good. Overall he is an experienced et who always knew what to do and did the right thing. I think his talent/skill has dropped off a bit. I would compare his locker room presence/team role in Cincy to Fred Jackson. I think this article sums it up well http://www.cincyjungle.com/2016/8/31/12727272/bengals-players-and-coaches-react-to-brandon-tate-release Edited September 6, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I like the vet leadership we have and think we're strong @ CB, so is this more KR skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team has some issues internally and he was a model of doing the right thing. Cutting him for a rookie felt to many like when they cut Fred here. They replaced him with a younger, cheaper (and probably more explosive) player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Any word who the Bills dropped to make room for Tate?they actually had an open roster spot because of the Vitale fail. @salsports New Bills WR Brandon Tate is practicing today. Wearing number 15. Edited September 6, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 "Little Man" Tate. Hmmm.... Could be bad news for JCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 they actually had an open roster spot because of the Vitale fail. @salsports New Bills WR Brandon Tate is practicing today. Wearing number 15. He isn't a great option at WR and they already have Reggie Bush penciled in at KR, so what will his role be? Bush is older than Tate, but I think think that Bush offers more as a RB/receiving option than Tate does at WR. Does Tate also do kick coverage?

OhDozeBills Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Return specialist? What about Bush and Powell? Would much rather see them bring in a TE, Manny, or even Gay (even tho I'm not a fan of 2 kickers) with the open spot. Doesn't make much sense to me.

YoloinOhio Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Tate has a ton of experience with preparing for the Ravens and the rest of that division. Shouldn't be overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
