where is this Veteran Presence at WR you speak of?

don't let your personal bais get in the way of whats best for the team.

Tate looked fine out there as a WR...  and if Erickson makes the team as a returner  then maybe we get to see tate on the field more on sundays.

I didn't mean at receiver, I just meant veteran presence in general.

Maybe that's also why he was on the field- Marvin's loyalty to veterans.

It doesn't really matter that LaFell wasn't a Bengal because he's still a vet.  It's everyone's first year with Ken calling plays, so it really doesn't matter much.  Sure, the chemistry with Dalton is important, but that can come easy.

Also, you forget that we have three tight ends that are good receivers with experience that will more than likely play big roles.

Before anything else, you have to maintain possession of the football. Tate is automatic. He's not going to be cut.

His bad decisions and bad returns make it seem like it would be better to let the ball roll through the endzone sometimes or just let the punts go completely.  Jones only returns when he hasn't been on the field too long, and Tate doesn't have the moves or anything to make having him in the game worthwhile.

If Erickson proves that he's reliable, there's no reason that Tate should be on the team.
