ochocincos Wrote:Tate was always a slower WR. He wins with his size and hands. He was a very good red zone threat at FSU. I expect him to be the same for the Bengals. The Bengals could definitely use another red zone threat, so I like his chances to make the roster over the likes of Core or even Erickson provided Phillips, Wilson, or someone else steps up to replace Erickson as a returner.
Yeah Tate was a smart pick that late with the red zone niche. I'd be interested to see if they lean Eifert further away from playing near the line where he becomes more of a slot or split end type for red zone jump ball/box out/slant plays. If so, maybe Tate being able to do the same thing consistently gives you an actual game plan you wouldn't have to alter. CJ could be used in similar ways as well.
