His speed will never make him an elite deep threat but his his size and huge hands could make for a nice reliable short target. All I have read about him is that he is great on contested passes and route running. Perhaps some blocking coaching and added weight might take the pressure of having to rely on Eifert. I believe he played some TE at Florida State. Who wouldn't want a 6'5" TE that could man up against LBs? This has been brought up about Auden playing TE, but no mention of it from the coaches. I am sure because Tate has never really been a blocker on the Line and kind of have to do that playing TE. The coaches from what i have heard have just said he is a WR and that is it. We better use this guy in the Red Zone is all i know, dude is blessed down there with his hands, catch radius and the way he goes up for the ball.

I am sure because Tate That's a shame. The guy was only a junior when he was drafted and could be a great TE future project. I agree, great hands and his fight for the ball. The issues would be his learning curve for blocking as well as putting on a good 20-25 pounds of bulk without effecting his speed, routes, etc. That being said, I trust the experts. Go Bengals!

You are correct, I missed it I didn’t mean to come off as rude. I was legitimately trying to help. It probably came off rude cause I capitalized the word literally by mistake. Just now noticed it. RE: LaFell cut - psychdoctor - 08-02-2018 Saw this coming when Marvin mentioned that LaFell is feeling the heat. I thought Core and Ross were in similar role but Ross has more speed. Tate is unique in his role and is a larger version of J. Simpson with acrobatic catches. Tate has hands of steel. I don't think Tate would last long on practice squad. As I stated before, Tate will make the 53 roster. I think at this point, Core is the odd man out. I think another vet or two will be cut. Maybe MJ if Hubbard brings it during preseason and Brown is healthy. MJ brings positive influence in the locker room, so he may stick. I also think Wilson will be cut now that Walton is here.

Core scored 2 TD's today and Brandon Wilson got a pick. Gonna be some tough cuts but i think both these guys still have a shot especially Wilson who is so versatile, especially on ST's which we all know is a big deal around here. Walton we know will make the team as you say... Damn tough cuts this year.

BS, Joe is on the back end of his career and saw the writing on the wall with the emergence of Ross and Malone, and wanted to be released to have a chance to go elsewhere. If he thought he was still going to be here, you can bet he'd be here. And, it was a class move on the Bengal's part to go ahead and release him, to give him other opportunities as receivers get injured around the camps. Nothing to be "embarrassed" about, nothing but class on both parties parts. Thankful for LaFell's time here, he upgraded the room. I agree. They got this one right. RE: LaFell cut - BengalD - 08-02-2018 Thanks for your effort while in Cincy Brandon. Good luck to you where ever you land (unless it's shitsburgh - and I wish you good health and 0-16!)

Any team will hang on to a guy "just in case". I'm sure the Bengals and LaFell knew his time was running out. He simply asked to be released earlier than the Bengals had planned to, and they decided to grant him his wish. I don't really see how you can say anything bad about the FO on this one.

So far, short of the Marv re-hire, it's hard to complain about any move they've made. It's certainly been the kind of off season fans have been wanting for a long time.

They experienced the Bengals fans season at the end of ever episode. RE: LaFell cut - Bengal Dude - 08-03-2018 I was very surprised when I read about the release this morning. This team is acting like it wants to be viewed as a competent franchise. RE: LaFell cut - Essex Johnson - 08-03-2018 (08-02-2018, 05:19 PM)XenoMorph Wrote: Nothing is final Yet..

RE: LaFell cut - Beaker - 08-03-2018 I wonder why they didn't trade him to the Bills for a starting RT. They seem to want all our garbage.
