Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 i too thought he was dead but was too busy planning Aaron Williams funeral and hadn't gotten to his yet But, really, the question that needs to be answered, is Aaron donating his spleen!

John from Riverside Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 An assessment from Joe Goodberry. If you know Joe, you know he's a go-to source for the Bengals. @JoeGoodberry 22m22 minutes ago @RQUINN619 In all seriousness, he's just a guy. The coaches loved him for being a "pro". Has decent build-up speed, but acceleration and @JoeGoodberry 21m21 minutes ago @RQUINN619 stop & go sucks. Plays every WR spot, but not good at any. Will make a nice catch here and there. Safe returner (catching it) but @JoeGoodberry 21m21 minutes ago @RQUINN619 makes bonehead decisions in the return game. Should've been cut years ago. Not because he's bad, but because he isn't good. Why did the bills bring this guy in and not the other all pros that are out there on the waiver wire...... This guy Tate sucks.....all his does is be a consumate professional NFL receiver and good locker room presense......WTH Whaley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a nice dude and a good effort guy has got him this far, I guess. With Bush/Powell set for KR/PR duties, the fact that Tate doesn't contribute on coverage units and isn't good as a WR, I find the move baffling.

Gotta justify that roster spot somehow. Powell seriously outperformed him on ST during preseason.

Then we should give the bills credit for adapting to the situation......Bush looked pretty darn good as a RB and has a little juice left.....he provides another pass catching option..... I dont fault the bills for accumulating talent......just gotta find a way to get the most out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iommi Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I think he's worth a shot. Tate ranked 9th in 2015 for kick & punt returns. I would imagine if he doesn't pull his weight on special teams you would most likely see him cut when either Dareus or Lawson returns. You might see that move regardless.

I mean, he's likely not staying around for long and, if you have the skill set, might as well use it. It's very unlike Greg Roman to have backs in the passing game heavily. Maybe this is a sign of his evolution, learning from what he got wrong in SF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say....by the time it all said and done Williams is gonna be a big part of this offense......I want a between the tackles runner in this offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2017, him and Shady as a "thunder & lightning" combo is the stuff of dreams for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Why do you have to be negative? Have you watched Tate play over the years? He is lightning fast. And has some ability at WR as well. At least as good if not better than Marquis Goodwin. And he played with the Pats so he doesn't suck. Be excited for the season instead of worrying about the guys they bring in to fill out the bottom of the roster. If you know football well, you will know that just about everyone who plays in the NFL is an athlete. Some are better than others. But if you can last as long as Tate has, you have some game. I'm usually very optimistic. And I don't think I'm being pessimistic here, just asking why they brought Tate in when returns will be done by Bush and/or Powell, he's not much of a WR, and guys like Randle (and Short) are more accomplished and still out there? I said it the day we drafted him, JWill has the talent to be RB2 by the end of the season. In 2017, him and Shady as a "thunder & lightning" combo is the stuff of dreams for me. Same for Gillislee. If you look at what he did in his limited time, he was every bit KW's equal. And he joined the team mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 hopefully Bush is used more in the passing game Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
