[Whatever]

The Bengals needed the Ross pick to pan out so bad because he gives you what the offense doesn't have...speed. If you plug Tate in he's just another big body receiver who struggles to get separation at times.

That being said, at this point I'm fine with playing Tate because Ross just gives you nothing. People that think Tate is going to come in and somehow change the offense though are out of their minds.

Thomas is a 4.4 guy, has been getting open, and has made the catches.  As I said earlier, he played 15 snaps against LA and Burrow threw to him 3 times, so Joe obviously likes him.  He should be getting the bulk of Ross's snaps because he can do a lot of the same things within the offense and has outplayed him so far.
