Brandon Tate

I think the catch that Core made going deep was the nail in the coffin.....Green, Boyd, Core...I guess they are counting on LaVelle.....You guys have mentioned Erickson.....Wright hasn't done much but is still in the mix.....I guess the new offensive coordinator could live without Tate, and I guess the special teams coach has some return men he would rather have than Tate....So if both coaches scratched him off the list, he was done....There is a new offensive coordinator in Zampese and he coached Rams Super Bowl with Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and all those good receivers...and his dad coached Air Coryell at San Diego Chargers with Dan Fouts, James Brooks and all those receivers.....So Zampese has Dalton and Gio Bernard plus Hill, but he wants all those receivers and he isn't going to stop until he has all those receivers because THAT is Zampese football.....Those TD passes to Gio and Hill the other night are classic James Brooks and Marshall Faulk pass plays to the RB....The idea is too many pass options for the defense to cover....it worked for Air Coryell and Rams Greatest Show On Turf....I guess Zampese wants more than a Tate.....Don't be surprised if Zampese see's a WR that another team cuts, and he tells the Bengals to grab him. He will want to line up with 5 top pass catchers every play, including the RB, because that is Zampese football from dad down to son.

That said, Thanks for your years as a Bengal Mr Tate.....throw in they couldn't ask Tate to be practice squad as they will one of these guys playing preseason game 4.....Plus we will get Eifert and the other TE back at some point....Zampese will give Dalton many pass options because that is Zampese football. Zampese football is not big on throwing short on 3rd down and punting. Air Coryell means move the chains down the field. On 3rd and long Tate was good for a short pass and punt, but that play may be out of the playbook.
